Getting stood up...

[chavez]

...for a conference call, is lame.

WTF everyone has Outlook, use it mf'er.

anytime people do that stuff, they drop 50% on my give a shlt meter. i don't care if it's a prospect i'm trying to close - they need to keep their shlt together if we are going to be moving in the same direction.

jt09, yeah I gave him till 1030, then I went back about my day.

What sucks is, I'm gonna end up dealing with this guy later for training BS as we filter through this conversion we've got going.

If this was a wholesaler trying to get us on board with their product... it'd be all over for him.

There's no excuse for that. I can't stand when people waste my personal or professional time. That being said I do a majority of my wb.com posting during conference calls.

yeah i have a 7 minute rule when it comes to conference calls... if they don't join F-em....

[chavez]

What's lame we set it up over the phone, then they followed up with the time & date in an email.

Being stood up sucks, but having person XYZ come in 20 minutes late to the call and start asking the same questions that you've already gone through makes me want to reach through the phone lines and strangle them!!!! If you didn't feel the call was important enough to show up on time... Sit there and be quite and one of your coworkers will fill you in later. Don't make the call run over into other meetings!

Waited 50 mins for a conference call last week

[chavez]

Well, call organizer called me right before lunch and was all apologetic.

So we get to do it again tomorrow. Yippee!


He's buying lunch when he comes out here next month. At Ruth's Chris or something equally expensive. "So chavez, what do you feel like for lunch?" A = "Filet mignon mother fu(ker!"

[Okie Boarder]

Definitely irritating.
