Idiocy at Work - Miscommunication
Aug. 14th, 2009 09:28 amI need someone to remind me why I do this job because at the moment, I'm out of valid reasons.
The new contractor for the elevators was in to order the parts for the broken elevator - a week after the problem began. It takes a week (usually) to get the parts here so we shall see how much longer the elevator will be out. The residents are getting restless. I'm getting restless waiting for this to bite me since it was my decision that started it all. It's not much fun around here.
Yesterday, the other contractors in the building came in at noon and said they needed access to all the suites on two specific floors to do some drilling on the balconies the next morning. Okay, fine but you guys were supposed to be giving us at least two days notice so we could give residents proper notice of the need to access their suites. I start making calls to the affected people and get nothing but grief from a couple of them (I will cover this later) only to have the boss of t he contracting crew come by the desk as I was leaving to say that's not how they will be doing it now.
In short, I disturbed a whack of residents, got screamed at by one and had to pass along a threatened law suit to the property manager from another... for no real reason?
I hate them all so very much.
