OOOOHMyLord!<\/p>\n

I just got home from work and I have to share this with the world.   <\/p>\n

I went to work today trying to be positive and not let myself get too wound up.   After two hours both myself and my friend Penny were pulling our hair out due to the conflicting directions we were getting from different team leaders.   Between the poorly laid out interview we had to try to conduct, the horrible responses from the people we were phoning, and the disorganized way in which the entire thing was being carried out by our managers… we were at the end of our ropes.<\/p>\n

At break time we huddled in a corner trying to decide whether we should just walk out and never look back.  Yeah, it was THAT bad.  We did go back in though, we figured it couldn’t get any worse and if we could just get through our shift we could go home and try to let off a bit of steam.<\/p>\n

It can get worse though, we had no idea what was waiting for us when we returned to our desks.  You see, the team leaders and managers have a system where they can write a message that shows up on the top of everyone’s screen.  It really comes in handy when there is an update on the project or some sort of info they need us to know.<\/p>\n

When we returned to our desks, the following message was waiting for us..<\/p>\n

Ladies, someone is having their period and has left a used pad in the loo, please remove it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are these people for REAL?!  This message went out on every’s screen in the entire center.  I was shocked and Penny and I looked at each other and I don’t think either one of us even knew what to say about it.   <\/p>\n

I don’t think I can remember ever seeing anything so unprofessional in any of the places I’ve worked, and that includes when I was 15 and worked shoveling horseshit.  <\/p>\n

Honestly, what on earth did they expect?  For some woman to jump up and say “Oops! Sorry that was me!” and go fish her soggy pad out of the toilet?<\/p>\n

I know one thing, I could have been ready to piss my pants and you couldn’t have paid me enough to get up and walk towards the toilet at that moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
