Let's talk about this for a second Fam. At first, I thought maybe it was just a coincidence until I noticed a real pattern. Today someone from a company that was called to provide a service to my home (I'm not gonna say what company) had to come out to provide that service. Everything sounds pretty normal so far right? But no. I can never just have a normal simple interaction with certain people sadly. 😩The man knocked and I let him in and confirmed with him what I needed him to do. I was cooking oxtails for my family and me at the time, because my children come home hungry after school every day. Part of my job as the fantastic mom I strive to be is to ensure they have good food ready for their bellies, so that's what I was on. I proceed to walk toward my dining room while the guy trails behind me. He asked me a few questions and then proceeded to do his job. I then remembered I had food cooking and was like "Oh shoot gotta stir my food" and ran towards my kitchen to stir the food. The guy then says "Are you cooking for me? Can I get some? What are you making?" Tf????? I immediately got slightly irritated. This grown-ass fucker, who I do not know, and should be being professional just asked me for a plate and was talking to me like he knows me personally. That's an irritation that a lot of people don't understand. It's "ghetto and trailer-park" behavior. I don't know you. You're here to provide a service, so do that and remain in "work mode" until you get off. If I complained I'd be wrong though right? I don't usually go as far as to complain unless they get too sexual or aggressive towards me (which has happened in the past). Even if the person isn't being sexual or trying to come on to me there are many other ways that people on the job have shown their extreme unprofessionalism. When I'm working or on a job no matter the job I keep in mind that I am in "work mode", which means certain behavior is unacceptable. These people are not my friends they are clients. They provide money to the company that provides money to me for assisting them. This means I would not have a paycheck if it wasn't for those people. I must conduct myself a certain way to ensure payment, but the goal is actually customer returns and referrals. I being of solid mind and judgment know that I will most likely screw that up if I do not provide efficient, effective, friendly, and professional service to the client. IDK, maybe it's my experience and background in doing the plethora of things I've done or having strong female and male figures in my family who showed me the way growing up, my work experience as a manager and other leading positions, but that behavior to me is extremely unacceptable. I feel like "Are they dumb?" But let me get back to the story. Y'all know I can go off on tangents like no other lol Where did I leave off?... I responded to the worker saying "I have children and this food is for them." He then went on to faintly giggle and reply "I was just joking." I did not return the giggle. He's unprofessional and I can't make him feel comfortable enough to allow him to dive deeper into his unprofessionalism. He picks up on my vibe a little and gets it together for just a second because wait... he definitely decides to go back in later. He finishes his job and asks me if there are any other issues he needs me to address while he's here. I reply with my concerns. Then he went on to tell me that he was starting his own business and he could call him later so that he could fix my issues outside of the company with his people. Alarms chiming all over the place right now, OMFG!!! He asked for my number so he could give me details later. I declined and told him he could write his own and I would pass it along, just to keep the ghetto peace with this fully grown tall, strong man who was alone in my home with me at the moment. He writes it down and gives it to me. I say thank you and before he leaves he says "One more thing, if anyone from my company asks you we never had this conversation". I said, "ok sure". He leaves and I'm so disgusted yet again. This happens far too often. I have so many stories. It's so uncomfortable. I feel like they possibly even do a bad job on the job purposefully to try and force people to have to call them for help later personally. I'm so over the bs. Btw, if someone from his company asks I'm definitely telling the truth because you didn't provide me proper service. Nasty. I know some of you have experienced this and I'm sorry. It's complete bs. This is something companies need to start train people on. Yes, I'm the first to put that out there. I'll do it for your company myself if you're willing to pay well lol, but I'm so serious. I will train people for you. I'm done talking y'all to death. Love you, and see you in my next post!
