I was seriously concerned that day the man could destroy my phones.<BR/><BR/>I didn't want it in the main post, but the man committed suicide a year or two later. I don't hold myself responsible or anything, but I think he obviously had some stability issues. I didn't get him fired, if that's what I implied. I think he may have quit or been fired some time later, but it was not just because of me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reply to the racism comments. I'll look on Melissa's blog and comment there.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826309601023733396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497678546248195850.post-20319971844713765062008-02-20T07:58:00.000-08:002008-02-20T07:58:00.000-08:00There were two instances in my last job where I me...There were two instances in my last job where I mentioned to supervisors that work was not performed up to par and poof the employees were fired. Apparently I had been the straw that broke the camel's back both times. I have felt guilty about it and people started calling me the kiss of death. But when it comes to business, things have got to get done! You handled it well, the other company clearly didn't, but this guy was probably going to hear about it anyway and try to take it out on the nearest person.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I left you a reply on Melissa's post regarding your racist ex-friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497678546248195850.post-28276131772957488332008-02-20T07:04:00.001-08:002008-02-20T07:04:00.001-08:00Hello companies not company's ARGH, sorry for goof...Hello companies not company's ARGH, sorry for goof LOL.Julie Pipperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169574697104642479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497678546248195850.post-66826240054845710602008-02-20T07:04:00.000-08:002008-02-20T07:04:00.000-08:00See, I think company's need to appreciate---as har...See, I think company's need to appreciate---as hard as it might be---customer feedback like that. I'm sure you were constructive, and that should have been handled SO much better. Imagine telling that guy---ugh! At least you got it resolved.<BR/><BR/>The maid situation was largely a real event. I did ask for the first set of ladies back because the second set was doing so poorly, but I focused, simialrly to you, on that the first set was so good.<BR/><BR/>But the service remained err less than pleasing.<BR/><BR/>I didn't say anything further.<BR/><BR/>I always worry about being at the mercy of, in a vulnerable position (people in my home, access to my things) to people who are angry at me complaining about them.
