I dislike it when... Could be a fun thread although negative in nature.

So...

Do you ever get emails that are aggressive, disappointing or perhaps a little unprofessional? More importantly, when you get them and they are from a company you know and work with regularly but instead of an email signature where you know who you are communicating with it's a general 'from the dispatch department', or 'from customer service'??

I have a hard time understanding why anyone would put this practice in place. Your employees are people, our employees here (myself included) want to work with individual people not a department and of course there is no real accountability when you don't know who sent you an email from a department.

Just my rant for the day, call it my 2 cents US worth 2.52 CAD.

Happy Friday,
Mike

Agreed, it looks like it comes from a random computer and you don't know if it's good or not.

I dislike it when... Details are not well communicated either with a customer or a carrier/driver, and then an issue comes up that was discussed with "party A" but information was not relayed to "party B", either internally or not, it's annoying.

 

[Michael Ludwig]

That's what "junk mail" is for. A bit of a twist on the tag line I used to use here ... "If you're not going to tell me who you are, why would I want to communicate with you?"

 

[Igor Galanter]

I'm with you on that. It's like a "Private caller"... I never call back to this number..

And a happy Friday everyone..
Next one will be much warmer..

Way to go Igor, now you've gone and jinxed us.. probably gonna be the coldest day of the year next Friday! LOL

 

[hauling_ass]

Our number comes up "Private caller"

Too bad that so many companies have wrecked it for the rest of us. Despite many phone calls to Ma Bell, our number is always shown as a "Private caller"

Many cell phones come up "Private Caller" especially when calling from SK from some reason.

I dislike it when old retired people are in stores on weekends always in the way go on a Tuesday at 10AM for Christ Sakes.

 

[whatiship]

sounds like low miler as a problem with high milers.
I can hardly wait to be one!

Is it because it's a " Senior citizen 10% discount Day " ? )))

 

[theman]

You know, I sometimes use it as a tagline when I call people and especially when leaving a VM, something like 'making sure you know I'm not a robot computer' and such. Even though the electronic age detaches us to a degree, people still appreciate the personal touch and attention.

 

[martinetav]

it's like rushing to the bank in my small town on lunch hour and there a bunch of retired, very slow people in front of you. For heaven's sake can't they go before or after lunch hour...

 

[chica123]

Oh, those poor old folks are getting a bad rap today. I personally dislike their dirty looks when my kids are acting like normal kids. I think it had been so long since they had some, they forget they do have their own personalities and are not little robots that obey commands.

 

[Freight Broker]

There should be a special line at the bank for old people and women (any age).. I only go to a teller when I have a large deposit, just not comfortable dumping that into an ATM.

And don't even get me started on supermarket checkouts. Slow moving people (any age or gender) should be forbidden from using the express checkout!

 

[Salma]

I dislike it when people try to "show off" and brag about their material possessions. We all forget that EVERYTHING can, at any time, easily be taken away from us in less than a split-second so let's appreciate what and who we have in our lives and worry a little less about how many fancy "things" we own.

 

[Salma]

On a lighter note........ I dislike it when I open a box of smarties and the colours are all faded.

 

[PackRat]

I dislike it when I go to sleep Friday Night and wake up Monday morning....."they" say there is a weekend in between....but experience makes me think "they" are lying......

Fridays do take a long time to get to and Mondays do seem to come along far too quickly. Especially when you are in the office both Saturday and Sunday. Seems the guys running the data and phone lines are meticulously detailed. Either way, everyone's workstation is tip top and they did a good job cleaning the spider web that was the server room. Thankfully it's not every weekend and thankfully I'm not bitter.

Keep well,
Mike

 

[lowmiler88]

I dislike it when a customer admits it is there fault that a load was refused on a Friday and when we want $200 on a redeliver they have the nerve to say "we are only make $50 on this can you do it for that"?

 

[Ronfs1]

I don't mind paying reasonably for a weekend layover at all if it's the customers fault, but when a carrier has been sitting on my freight for a week in their yard then comes after me for 24 hours at the border on a saturday night to Sunday night without contacting me until Monday??? NOW I have a problem.
