you think your only minion who’s trained to operate the equipment in one department quit and are freaking out because he doesn’t show up in the morning so you send him a passive aggressive text and he calls you back and says “sorry man, I was sick, I called in and left a message on [HUMAN RESOURCES’] voicemail saying I was sick, I’ve been puking for two days...” and then [HUMAN RESOURCES WHO IS ALSO THE BOSS’ WIFE], who has been freaking out that said minion quit without notification in the middle of the busiest season says “He left a voice mail?” and you say “yes, on your office phone” and [HUMAN RESOURCES] says “oh, well who know how that works. Thats why I didn’t get it”
maybe I’m just still wound up about this (I am), but some of the responses I’m getting seem to indicate that it might OK, or at least not surprising that the Human Resources person at a company that employs 20 people full time and over 60 seasonally wouldn’t know how to use the company voicemail.
WHAT WORLD AM I LIVING IN??????????

1. This is why our voicemail goes to our emails. So that middle-aged women can play it at max volume in the cubicle farm.
2. Human Resources is a lie, they are hardly human and never resourceful. Similar sentiments regarding any Help Desk.

To be fair though, voicemail is a pain in the ass. I don’t even have mine set up. If I don’t answer just send me a text.

I feel like 90% of the stuff that goes to our help-desk is either:
Ignored
Closed without fixing the issue

I guess that’s why it’s not “Machine Resources.”

Dude fixing your stuff interferes with our web surfing and movie watching. Google it yourself.

Notifying HR doesn’t count for shit, minion. Let the people you work for who are actually impacted by you not being there know.

Married to the boss. Low bar. She can constantly screw up and never lose her job, so why bother learning anything.
For the record, I hate such condescending old assholes.
