ICTChris Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 I like the Indian guys. One of them sent me an email once that said "Thank you for your wonderful help Christ". Overselling me slightly. My current bugbear is people who say "blah blah blah". When explaining something they don't want to go into detail so they say "So we are looking to kick that batch job off and then we'll need to speak to the project who'll need to their guys and blah blah blah they'll do what they need to". Just say what they need to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Sadly we have SLAs floating about my work (service level agreements). Is that what your SLA stands for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Has anyone witnessed anything like the vid below in reality? On the "I don't answer to you" part rather than the "oggy!!!" one, I've seen that before. Software 'Product A' support person telling leader of Software 'Product B' that they're not in control of them... when in actual fact he was due to recent restructuring. He soon got pulled into the head managers office to 'set the record straight' and came looking like he'd burst out crying... which was most pleasing to everyone else seeing as he was an utter narcissistic tool. Eta: Pretty sure he played the "I've not been crying, I've just got bad hayfever today and I rubbed my eye" card that day too.
