Absolutely Fed Up With People....

Hello,

I wish you all a good day.

Also, sending good thoughts and prayers wishing you peace of mind and that you have a  anxiety is manageable

if not gone.

A friend of my family ( did business with my dad years ago ) who I also know from business told me of a possible management job at the beginning of year. We talked a few times and he last told me that they could

have a opening, and he would call me in early September.

Never heard from him, my father is old and has not spoken too in years, so it is not viable to ask him to help.

Anyways, he has health issues and knows little of this specific industry.

So I called him last week, left a nice friendly message just wanting to know what was happening.

He never returned my call.

Previously had easy , friendly conversations, as he met with me once, as well as returned my calls promptly.

What gives? Don't people have the common courtesy to just return the call, even if nothing is happening.

Is that they are comfortable, and are not the ones waiting and dealing with the pressures of raising a family.

Even  a service guy who I have used a few times, did not return my call.

Very few people practice what they preach, as they expect things they would never do themselves.

Everything would be easier if more people were forthright with you - told the Truth!

What is about is wasting my time and money, and putting unneeded stress on me.

And forget about asking for advice - people will tell you to do stuff they would never themselves do.

Scaredy Cat,  I returned your email. It is all good. Read when you have the chance.

Just the fact you are candid with me is refreshing and renews some of my faith in people.

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing back. 

 

Hi Skitt,

Thank you for your advice.

Skitt, your comments as far as calling back , and leaving a clear message that is easily
understood are valid.

But that is not what is going on here, its just being rude.

And I am experienced veteran who is well versed in business/phone etiquette , who has made
a living working/ selling and generally doing business over the phone since the 80's.

So I always in business will give the person a reasonable amount of time - I will even state to them,
"when would it be a good time to follow up with them?"- and then follow up with them.

So I will either go by what they direct me to do or allow a decent amount of time. And if they do not
answer , I will leave a clear, concise message stating my my basic info, objective,etc..

I have even trained others in being a effective professional in these skills as well.
So, this is second nature to me, and not the reason for the non- response.

Although I am anxious about all this, I am okay, physically have got myself back in good shape,
and dealing with it as good as possible.

As I have said, there are many out there without common courtesy, so unless it directly benefits
them, they could care less. And yes I know things, emergencies come up, but I have encountered
this often as I try to get back on track.

Actually struggling has made me more sympathetic to others problems as it easier to put myself "in
their shoes", when I give advice.

This something lacking in our world as far as counselors and people.

To some it's all about them and what you can do for them.

I understand this as far as business, but I also know that a person should be good on their word
and take the minute to let someone who is not as fortunate as them at the moment what is going
on.

Thank you again.
