I'll get back to you, or maybe not?
So what is it about getting back to someone when they call? Do you think that I'll just get tired and go away? I find that a lot lately. Maybe because I'm in a service business and trying to give good customer service that I expect it too? I hear this all the time about how no one returns phone calls, or better yet, not show up. That I think is my favorite. I have a friend Jesse. He is great for telling me I'm on my way. After about two hours I call him. It could take three days before I can even reach him. His answer? Oh, something came up. Meanwhile he lives two blocks away. And they all sound so sincere don't they? Is there a school that these people go to? It has to be some exclusive thing. But they sure do turn out some top graduates don't they? Double talk and the run around must be popular classes to take? When you find out let me know, or not. R-

I consider these people as belonging to "Generation, Whatever..." They find it IMPOSSIBLE to make an appointment, or keep one. I think it goes back to our basic "job hunt" mentality-always keeping our options open. My father comes from a generation that got a job, and KEPT it...(I think he had 2 from the time he left college until he retired...) Sadly, people are looking to "up" their careers constantly, and have little loyalty for anything anymore...I think this mentality came from the fact that employees demanded more and more perks from their companies, and employers would promise ANYTHING-with the FULL INTENT of laying the worker off before they were able to put in enough years to collect the benefits they thought they were working for-for 19 years...(just ONE MORE YEAR!!)
Generation Whatever has been raised by parents that are always seeking something more....even though most of them don't really even know what it is. (Do you REALLY think a Lexus is going to make you happy?)
