My work is never...dull.
Nov. 2nd, 2012 09:59 pmSo what did Silv learn at work today?
- Unless someone is being really obvious about it, or does it so often that everybody knows they do it, it is damn hard to prove a case of harassment against an employer.
- There are people that don't understand that library meeting rooms are primarily for the use of library programs, and that we let community groups use them only when we don't need then.
- Furthermore, they don't believe that lapsit programs for baby children and their patents/caregivers could be more important than their organization needing to have meeting space. (Our city has a dearth of meeting space available for free, it's true.) At least, the incredulity in the caller's voice made it pretty clear, along with their eventual abrupt hanging up after expressing yet more disbelief. My studies, let me show you them.
We also had our fill of callers that like to be obscene and rude to the employees and people complaining that Marketing using us as a test location for screen marketing is a waste of tax dollars. (I can't say I like their placement - it's prominent, it is very large...but it's not in the sightlines of people who are checking out...)
It was a very combative day at work today, apparently.
So. That happened.
