While visiting a call center today I offered to take the management team there to out to lunch. Their choice of restaurant. Now I didn't actually want to sit down to eat with these people (I usually just eat one large meal a month) but there's no better way to make a group of managers uncomfortable than by confronting them at a sit down restaurant. Try it out sometime. The problem is that they chose some place called Bennigan's.
The first thing I noticed is that the customary rose petals that other centers throw anywhere I step were nowhere to be found. Bad move Kansas. Then I noticed that there is crap all over the walls. A sleigh, a bucket, a marionette? Who the hell decorated this place? Robert Dotson. The Nokes is kiddding, but seriously, did he? I soon realized that this "establishment" is Irish. I assumed that meant we'd all have to eat a bowl of raw potatoes. Instead I ended up with something called a Monte Cristo. It tasted like a bland potato. Actually, I've never had a potato but I'm sure they taste like Monte Cristos. Thankfully I brought my crushed diamond seasoning and platinum utensils.
Eventually I had Kim Kardashian pick me up in the Sue Copter. I'm off to go talk to Britney Spears' little sister . Oh, you didn't hear? She's 16 and pregnant. I'm going to go slap the white trash right out of that family.
-Nokes Out!

LOVE THE BLOG!!!
But how come Nokes didnt mention all the executive managers in retail partner sales she canned last week? I know she had the Los Angeles South Maket Director canned in the airport in Seattle on his way home. Right before X-mas!! And as far as her so called love of front line employees, well she has directed that all employees that arent hitting her outrageous goals this month be put on notice, which would include 80% of her West coast employees and all of LA North. Word is heads will start to roll as soon as this week and definitely in January when several positions are to be dissolved and all front line employees will probably have to reapply for their jobs again like the district managers did last year.
anonymous out.
They never mention people they terminate, or those who quit or go on disability. It's negative and, god forbid, they don't want to be negative, right? Demotivating, demoralizing, discouraging and humiliating, yes, but be negative? Never! LA North used to come in at 2nd or 3rd place (behind New York & Chicago) in sales in the nation around this time of the year; now, thanks to their wonderful management, demoralizing and demotivating everyone in their office, they're in last place in the nation. Also, lowest ESS scores in the nation, lowest Market Director scores in the nation, virtually half of their office, including T-Mobile's 2006 ADR of the Year, quitting on them. Sheesh! What happened to this company!
The Nokes has no idea what you're talking about and neither does anyone else. Don't make me send Lil' Kim over.
The Nokes has no idea? And neither does anyone else? Work for RPS in the Midwest--we've been hearing what's been going on in the West for the last few months now; sounds like LA is a cursed office. Why so many people quitting from a single office? And to go from second or third place to last place in sales? What's the management putting in the water out there?
in the water? no, no, no my friend...the LA office has always been T-Mobile's step child so let's not use that as an excuse for the customary beatings and degradation. The fault for the sinking LA flagship is shared by none other than the two dildos in charge. Yup, ya guessed it, the VP and MD (ta-tan-taann), [announcers voice] "Together with their brainless minions, they have lit the fuse on the good 'Ol LA bomb that's about to implode". Good lord it's like watching a monkey trying to hump a football, amusing but frustrating. Well, back to work, my TPS…er…DOP reports need their cover letters.
Peace
Yes, we need thos TPS reports ASAP. Oh, and The Nokes will need you to work sat and sun as well.
Ha ha!!! Got you there!!! We ALREADY do work Saturdays and Sundays. And Mondays. And Tuesdays. And Wednesdays. And Thursdays. And Fridays. Thought you had us, huh?
