I am so sick and tired of answering this office phone and it being a stupid magazine representative. I have had 3 call today and all of them are different. This number has called several times this week wanting to get an O.K from the boss to continue with a magazine they send out "for free". They want me to O.K. it for him and I don't...and won't. They get mad and hang up. They say that have already been sending them and need to update their records. If they've been sending them and they're not being returned...what's to update?? This is so wastefull on their part to send these magazines out and 2/3 of the people that receive them don't even look at them. They go in File 13. Such a waste of labor, time, money, paper, ink, postage, etc. This list goes on and on.
Can you guys please give the secretaries a break!!!!???????
Our office has gotten somewhere in the vicinity of 90 calls (all for different names) in the past 24 hours. It " Every one of the callers states that they have the name they are calling for listed as our CEO. Now tell me...how could any company have the money to hire 90 individual CEO's for their company? C'mon people...give us a freaking break! Many of the callers are actually nice and understanding, some however sound and act like robots. I totally agree that this is a humungous waste of time for everyone involved. We get calls from them on an average every 3-4 minutes from this company.
