Seat68 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 In my train commuting days with a season ticket, I put in delay claims almost every day. Once at my desk each morning the claim would go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 The fact we are 18 months into a global pandemic and some people still can't seem to wear a mask properly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old people. Almost universal, mask over the mouth, but not the nose. It's all I can do not to shout at them "You may as well not bother!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I sent an email so if they haven't done it it's there fault" So send them another **** email. Or call them. Or text them. Or send them an IM. Or walk to their office and ask them. I disagree, depending on what it is. If I e-mail one of my team to ask them to do something, I'm not going to check in on them to make sure they've done it (unless it's particularly urgent). I've sent them an e-mail asking them to do something and that's sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough it might be their fault, but if it's your action you should be following that up. The amount of times I'm running a meeting and someone's action is, I don't know, "Make sure prices are corrected in SAP". And the answer I get is "well I sent that team an email asking them to do it but I haven't heard anything back" winds me up. **** call them and make sure they've done it. Or get a reason why they haven't done it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 VTers that, when writing a post, put the phrase "insert KW jpeg" instead of an actual jpeg of the great man. Lots of us take the time to search, edit and save such pics, especially @sidcowwho has taken it to a new level, so come on stop being lazy and do the needful. (yes I AM that bored today !) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in procurement so we have lots of things we have to get from suppliers, like information, or delivery dates etc. The number of times the answer is "Well I emailed the supplier but they haven't got back to me" Edited October 25, 2021 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're a little confused here. A KW is something awarded to your post by another user. You do not insert them into your own post, that's just rude Nor should you solicit for a KW as has been suggested in your post, that is bad form in my book KWs IMO are awarded for the inadvertent double entendre. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Yep when I write "insert KW here" it's because I know about what I've written, it's not inadvertent so I actually don't accept your KW Do it as a blocker so no one can catch you out 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
