All of this was done over a teams meeting using shared screen.
She showed me a note in our company wide shared customer note system about a call I had with the customer. The note stated “transferred call, fu, see drop in for additional info.”
She said she was having trouble understanding what I was trying to say. I bounced around different parts of the message trying to clarify everything I could.
And in my mind, I kept thinking that she couldn’t mean the FU. I laughed uncomfortably and said, “I’m not sure what the issue is”
She clarified that the obscenity wasn’t acceptable, and I asked her to tell me what obscenity.
There is a scene from the original Odd Couple movie where Oscar complains that it took him “three hours to figure out that FU was Felix Unger.” And I’m starting to laugh out loud again.
I explain that FU you meant “follow up,” and she claims that I “came up with that answer really fast,” and she was going to have to double check that.
She never brought it up again, I never signed anything, and she left the company a few months later.
Makes me start laughing every time I think about the stupidity of that entire situation.
My job was being threatened because an idiot manager didn’t understand corporate acronyms. And she made twice as much money as I did. I’m just not willing to play the stupid corporate games to advance
