I swear to god some people don't listen the slightest bit. And it's so irritating.

I switched to a new position like six months ago. For six months, it's been, unless it has to do with the graduate students, you go to the new guy who took over my old position.

Six. Months.

Everyone was told at the faculty meeting when he first started, Here is Juan, he is our new front office person. He'll be taking over travel, membership payments, Conference registrations, and honorariums for seminars, along with our normal front office things from me.

So why am I still getting emails from the person organizing the seminars to have the speakers work with me for their honorariums?!

getting an email back with "Well I wasn't aware" When I correct you to the speaker for who they need to go with makes me

You've been told for six months

and in fact, back in early JANUARY when you emailed this specific speaker about her honorarium, I corrected you then too

which is why Juan has been working on the paperwork with her already

because SHE followed my, hey, it's this guy email I sent out in January

You weren't aware is a bullshit answer to something you've been informed of repeatedly over the last six months because you keep trying to email me about shit I don't do anymore.

ah I see you deal with some of the same idiots I do

𝑜 𝑚𝑎𝑗𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑦 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑒 : I wish it were easier. And now I’m like having a panic attack because an offer letter hasn’t gone out yet and the person asking about it has like thre ?’s at the end of the question and I am not HR nor have I done an offer letter before and people are throwing me under the bus

I lol quietly only because I know exactly what you mean about 3 ? and such. ugh can I kick whoever is trying to throw you under the bus because not cool

I rolled into bed to get away from it for a bit

But yeah, my mom when I called her wa alike, why didn’t HR do this in the first place?
