Default What Would You DO ?

I work at Earthlink Technical Support my job is boring for the most part and I'm very good at what I do. I was a senior technician until I joined the army and went away for about 5 months. But I'm only National Guard so I get to come back to my job.

I work in a decent sized call center and I know I'm not the only tech on the floor thats under this certain supervisor and all.. And I know that our calls aren't supposted to exceed say 10 mins or so. ( We can go over but it affects if we get our bonus) But today I was at work and I had my supervisor we'll call him major prick man who is just trying to get promted by making my life a living hell man. I was on a 16 min or so call and I had this ladys problem almost fixed and I was doing fine I was teaching a new tech and everything who happened to be a decent looking girl. Well guess what uber putz does he comes over and asks whats up with the long call Seth and I'm like nothing I'm good. And he won't leave me alone so I'm typing in a notepad because I'm talking on the phone Nothing repeatedly. ok and he's like let me see your notes. This is while I'm trying to listen to a lady explain to me how her IE 5.5 can't browse, (oh and btw I know this is a run on sentence) and he keeps harping to me then he gets angry and is like LET ME SEE YOUR NOTES AND FINALLY I SHOW HIM MY NOTES.. Then I send a message to the operations manager to make him leave me alone, only he's sitting in the Op managers seat so he gets the message and he is like SEE ME NOW.. THen we argue about 10 mins and I'm like If I say I 'm good leave me alone and we won't have any problems. And he's like I'll do what I want when I want and I'm like leave me alone.. And hes like I'm the supervisor here and you'll listen to me. Finally i say just do WTF you want and leave me tF alone.. And he's like thats insubbordination.

So I send a message to the Operations Manager again trying to switch to a diffrent sup because this isn't the first things that has happened and now I'm getting a diciplinary action. What would you do ?

I wouldn't lose my temper like that. There's some things you just have to Zen out. Now you have a discliplinairy thing going...was it worth it?

Jobs can be super frustrating, but sometime's it's just good to play a long and address the issue a bit more calmly.

It sucks taht you're in this position now, but the best you can do is suck it up and be courteous. Politely state what went on and it should sort out.


Good luck with your job.

I'm on your side.

I would suggest taking on fixed attitude that the system is always against you and just wants you to toil and work your whole wretched life. So then, you need to counter the system by developing a plan that would allow you to defeat it and escape it. Begin by dropping out of school and advocating your hate of teachers and homework. Then rally support for your hate against the government. Suggest communistic ideals to your peers, friends, and family members. Drop out of society as well and stop working. Join a commune with other enlightened thinkers and live off the land and nature. Then free yourself of materialistic possessions. You'll find that once you've completed all these tasks you'll have a new sense of happiness that you had never felt before. Ypu'll never want to return to your former way of life. You should spend the rest of your life spreading the word of free and happy ideals so that when you're an old man, several millions of people will have joined your way of life and you will be the founder of the revolution that will destroy the system forever and wipe out of existance on our planet.

that could work? how much do you get an hour? Is is worth it compared to what you make in the "real world?"

But definitly complain to a "higher up," if this prick is preventing you from doing your job, there is defintily a problem... you could have reproted him for harrassment ages ago
Besides, good tech support guys are few and far between, if they got rid of you they'd totally be screwing themselves.

I've been plotting to beat the hell out of him since I started working here but I'm a nice person and against violence at the workplace. That and my reason before this was somewhat of a stupid reason. That and I make $10 an hour to deal with morons and I'm good at my job

I have already failed in your plan miserably, 1. I've already graduated highschool I did that may of 03
2. I joined the army in a way to please my father who is never pleased and somewhat hates me in his own way even though anyone who knows him will never say that he does.
3. And I dropped out of society and stopped working.. Hmm.. I'm still thinking of something thats bad about that one. But one question if I find a wife in that mass of unsocial people would that count as being social ?
4. Hmm I like to spend money on things. I don't like to shop but I like to get new computer parts ect every now and again and if I were to stop working I would stop making $10 an hour.

Let me take your job. I'll put him in his place...hopefully.....

But I am thinking about applying there since they have a commercial going where they want tech's, and that kind of job would be more then fine for me.

And also, I agree with you ominub.

I'm about twice your size. What an even match it would be

Plus, I just need something to weaken the knees and its victory for me.

Not too terribly large. But I have some weight on me.

*edit*

Ok, maybe not twice the size of Ace, but add about 50 lbs. or so.
