Rant on professional behavior...a nation of slobs

Posted by Edd in KY on August 02, 2014 at 18:48:31 from (98.19.153.40):

I have been a Sprint phone user for 12 years. My bill is about $200 a month for 4 phones,which is a competitive price and the phone performance is generally very good. I have no complaints about the service, the phones, or how it works overall. But when I have to interact with the Sprint staff, or go to a Sprint store....it is like a walk into a homeless shelter or crack party.

They all work for the performance rating and will "yes sir you to death, but never fix a problem".

Recently I bought a new phone, but could not get it activated on line, even following instructions and after hours on the 800 phone. They finally told me to go to the nearest Sprint store. A big inconvenience, but it was Saturday, and I needed to be activated by Monday, so I did.

At the store, I encountered 3 very lazy, totally American (1 black, 2 white), very laid-back employees, rocking to the music, playing with their hair and "manning" the store....in a fashion. I interupeted their party day.

I stood there for an hour, while they played with their hair, rocked along with the music, sang along , talked with their constant stream of pals that just that just dropped by to BS and eat ice cream. They discussed their Chinese takeout lunch, their plans for the evening and parties.......As a customer just trying to get my new phone activated, I seemed to be intruding on the free spirit of their "on the job" fun and frivolity.

I felt bad about intruding upon their paid holiday, no need for "American exceptualizism" It took these rubes over an hour to do what a focussed person, with an average IQ, could do in 20 minutes.

When I hear all this talk about American exceptualism, I wonder if you are living in a different country than I am???????? What ever happened to managers that set the rules and expected employees to meet the standard? Maybe Americans are not what they used to be? These are someone's kids, maybe your's, maybe mine....lets quit making excues for them.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
