I think rude behavior is one of my biggest pet peeves. I can't stand it so much that I start to have Hannibal Lecter-esque fantasies. What seems worse, to me, is when an authority figure or higher-up is rude to someone in a lower position. Yeah, I may not bring home as much money as you, but you should damn well know better!!
What brings on today's tirade was an incident that occurred in my workplace this morning. I work at an orthopedic clinic as a scheduler and phone receptionist. Glamorous, I know.
One of the doctors (let's call him 'Dr. Bob' for fun, other names are changed as well) was showing our new offices off to two other doctors from another hospital.
My co-scheduler, Eva, was in the break room which is right across the hall from where the phones and medical records area are.
Dr. Bob showed the visiting docs the break room and came out and said, "This is the scheduling area."
I chirp out, "Good morning!"
And am duly ignored.
Then they go to medical records where Dr. Bob not only introduces them to Misha the gal who works there, but also goes on about what a great job she does.
Then he introduces them to Gigi, one of the surgery schedulers, and goes on about what a great job she does.
Eva comes out of the break room, "Did Dr. Bob introduce you?"
"No. You?"
"No."
So.... apparently phone receptionist=chopped liver.
I wouldn't be bothered if he hadn't introduced EVERYONE else around except Eva and me. Talk about cold shoulder. Did I miss-schedule someone or something? ...Maybe I will tomorrow. MWAHAHAHAHAH!!
Seriously though, way to treat an employee!
