Re:work Phone calls was Bullying bosses

[Guest guest]

Dh's job's Often call him on day's off or even when we are on holiday.. drives

me nutty.. I do however think that I have quite a reputation at his work as

now (1.5 year into home working there) they never ring up without introducing

themselves saying what they want and apologizing for disturbing.. this came

across when he was away at (what I like to call his yearly pilgrimage to HIS

holyland aka La Mont 24 hour racing).. and they rang about a meeting they wanted

to do on the Monday where he was off.. They rang 3 times and the 3rd time I gave

the person on the phone a right old bullocking.. Informed them I was his WIFE

NOT his secretary that I was NOT paid by them and therefore did not have to

supply them with any information what so ever.. and that if they EVER would ring

again they would introduce themselves apologize and make themselves brief IF

they did get passed on to dh..

So far they all have and they all know to do this if they ring home to us..

Funny thing is that when Dh's boss heard about this he said To right you are

disturbing them at their home and that does involve a lot of politeness and

smoothness.. so at least I know should the boss ever ring (he does

occasionally) then he is polite and nice ;o)

Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama

& expecting a Christmas delivery...

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

My DH's old boss used to ring a SUnday afternoons - just to be

updated on what had happened the week before - it used to take about

1 hour every Sunday. I used to stand in the back ground

shouting " Teas Ready " to encourage DH to hang up. I then moved on

to answering the phone saying " he's just bathing/feeding/changing the

boys or I am not sure he is in " We then moved on to monitoring all

phone calls on SUnday afternoons.

He even managed to ring our house when I was in labour with DS2 - mum

explained that I was in labour - his response " How long does it take

to have a baby? " Mum let him know that it took as long as it took!

Fortunately he took early retirement a few months back so we now have

Sunday afternoons back to normal after nearly 7 years of him.

The only other calls we get are the Security Guards ringing if there

is a problem at site. But DH has managed to get his name futher down

the list so it is not such a problem.
