For the life of me, I can't understand how people can lack common sense. I have realized that I work with idiots. There are a few men here that lack the ability to think on their own. They cannot and will not admit when they FUCK UP excuse my French, but I am PISSED at this particular moment.
I'm a Sr. Marketing Buyer for a well known corporation. I have too many commodities to name what I buy, just know it's a lot of COOL stuff. Yesterday, I received an email from a co-worker complaining, yet again about our shipping department. It seems, that they shipped one of our customers the wrong product. Instead of rectifying the problem by shipping the right item via fed-ex, they decided to ask how should they ship, they also wanted the customer to pay for the items they were not to receive (can you see a problem here).
This is where the NOT-SO-NICE Chasity gets involved. I called the culprit from the shipping department and not so calmly explained, "You will overnight the product our customer ordered and you will leave in their possession the items you mistakenly shipped to them, and you WILL NOT charge them for shipping and you WILL NOT charge them for the other items." Do you know this idiot had the nerve to say, "Who is going to pay for the product that we accidentally shipped?" I swear there was smoke coming out of my ears at this point. I answered very loudly, "YOU ARE"!
That was yesterday...this morning I had another email from the idiot saying or should I say whining, "I will have to get the head of accountant involved and I don't think it's necessary just for a few pennies." I lost it! I said, "We don't live in a world where we sweep our mistakes under the rug and we do not EVER charge our customers for our mistakes. We own up to our mistakes and accept the repercussions that come along. You do not have to tell the head of A/P, because I will...have a good day"!
Case and Point...I work with IDIOTS!
