Well, this is a new thing for me. I've never really done something like this so here goes...ok that sounded lame even in my head.
I'm not going to start with the whole "this is who I am" load of crap that I've seen on other blogs. If you really want to know then you can ask me and I'll tell you.
Pretty much I'm here to vent on a low level and let everyone know what my days was like. As if anyone is ever going to read about my boring life.
To day was pretty calm compared to other days. The good thing is I only had to call one tech out and he understood the meaning of the term "on call". He understood that me calling him is not personal. I'm just doing my job. Nothing like Kevin from yesterday.
I called this guy yesterday and he spent forty five minutes teling me why he didn't need to go to the site, that I'm not qualified to tell him he needs to go to the site, asked for my manager's name and sent her an email saying I wasn't professional enough to call someone on the weekend.
My response was to contacted his manager and tell the rather nice lady what her field tech was doing. As you can understand she was no amused. So she called him and chewed him out for slacking. Then the on cal called me back and started yelling, and I mean literally yelling on the speaker phone, at me for calling his manager, and asking who in the **** did I think I was to call a field tech's manager. He very loudlt let me know I was nobody and he wasn't going out to the site and if I called his manager again he would everything he could to get me fired.
That's how yesterday went and the only good thing that I can say about it is that it was only one tech. Imagine if tha happened every night. I mean no one would want to work in that kind of environment, right? I mean who want's to get yelled at on a daily basis?
Well, that what it's like for me on an average eight hour shift. The average retention time for my job is eight months before someone quits or finds a new job. We haven't had a person promoted to manager in over five years because no one stays long enough, and people wonder why I'm looking for a new job.
We'll see how bad tomorrow is.
