one year passes...

I AM THE ONLY PERSON FROM MY DEPARTMENT AT WORK TODAY. Repeat -- the ENTIRE department is OFF except for ME. I AM FEELING VERY SHAFTED. To make matters even worse, EVERYONE ROUTED THEIR PHONE CALLS TO ME. I am getting calls about shit I know nothing about. Holy christ, I'm going to start talking to myself soon. This is ridiculous. Fucking jerks.

My phone has been ringing every 15 minutes. All I need to do is skip out and get my ass in hot water.

how would you get in hot water for taking calls meant for someone else that you're not equiped to deal with¿

― dyson (dyson), Monday, 29 December 2003 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Have you ever worked for a massive corporation before? Here's how it goes down: Client calls Person A. Person A's voice mail says "call Jeanne for immediate assistance." Client calls Jeanne. If Jeanne isn't there and doesn't return Client's calls, Client complains on Person A's voice mail. Person A checks voice mail and discovers Jeanne is AWOL. Therefore, Jeanne's ass is in hot water.

change your message then - pass the buck on to someone else.

Anything you can't handle and can't be put off means you should call the people out of the office. Make it their problem.

Or change your voice mail to be call person A.

Just say "X isn't in the office, can I take a message?" Take a detailed message. Reassure the person that the problem will be dealt with. Then send the problem back to the absent person on email.

That sounds like everyone where I work!

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 06:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Get them to refer to you as Ms Fury. I wouldn't fuck with that.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 11:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Am I missing something here, why can't you just leave the phone off the hook? If pressed say you must have not replaced it properly at some point.
