<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Snowman Cometh, post: 10435705, member: 83302&quot;]Okay, I&#039;ll smack you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m kidding...kidding.</p><p><br /></p><p>I swear this happened. It was one of the most pathetic displays I&#039;d ever been a part of. I signed a ten month contract to be Morgan Stanley&#039;s blackberry manager. They said it was going to be an extremely tough position, and I&#039;d be there late every night. Not only did I never work a second of overtime, I spend the majority of my day (I swear HOURS) walking up the stairs to a department you could get free coffee from.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a person wanted anything they had to have their manager sign off on it. When I started, a person asked for a pair of scissors. I accidentally bought it without the manager sign off (my only mistake the entire time). A few months into my contract the seller of the scissors wanted to get paid. It was like $30. That&#039;s expensive. But, they had a special place they bought supplies from. I passed the note onto accounting, which was not in the building. It was in a different borough.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was six months into my contract, and they still didn&#039;t pay the invoice. Finally they told me the reason was there was no manager approval. Within five minutes I got the manager&#039;s approval, and sending that in an email to the accounting department, I put a Homer Simpson type &quot;quote&quot; Pay this or else... I was almost immediately called into my Manager&#039;s office and chewed out for threatening accounting.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s pathetic. But, not the worst. This is the mindset of this company.</p><p><br /></p><p>This happened before I started. When a broker was hired, they were on probation. But, were given a phone. Someone failed a drug test, and whoever had my job before me, didn&#039;t get it back. 4 months or so in, and a phone bill for close to $40,000 came in. Everyone freaked. They had no idea whose phone this was. I got the phone company to shut off the phone. But, first to find out who&#039;d been using it. They gave us all the info. MS did not have the person arrested or contact him for the $40,000. They just paid the bill. $32? No way. $40,000? Mistakes happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I was KIDDING. I&#039;m not actually going to smack you. I don&#039;t even know you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
