Customer service rep decides to quit after being publicly scolded by boss for being 10 minutes late to a weekly meeting because they stayed on a call to resolve an upset customer’s issue, takes a full-time second job instead
Managers who treat meeting rooms like church, where showing up late is a sin but doing actual work is also a sin, are unfortunately the sort of people this story takes us to meet todayA customer service rep resolves an upset customer's problem, gets thanked for the help, and walks into a room to get scolded in front of everyone for being ten minutes late. The meeting obviously could have started. And for no apparent reason It did not. Maybe bossman just felt he needed to make an example of something using someone, anyone.So a meeting that gets delayed, moved, and cancelled regularly is suddenly the holiest of sites inside the sacred place that is some office. Nobody gets called out for thatother times but today was that day. And although we know a lot of managers love a meeting about a job a lot more than working actual job. But that doesn't make it any less annoying.
