Alright, I'm pretty hot under the collar this morning.



Is there anything more annoying than someone sending an email and copying the "boss" just to get a reaction?


That gets me more fired up than pretty much anything else. Pick up the phone and call. Don't send a passive aggressive email and then dodge my phone call.



Long story short, they ordered a compressor from an OEM which we rep, and the leadtime has been miserable (as if we have any power to change that), and sent an email this morning threatening to pull their PO. Copying my co-worker, who they see as my boss, like I'm the biggest dork in history. Just for the record, most OEM's in the compressor world are quoting 34+ weeks on stuff right now. It's nuts.


I'm tempted to throw a headache fee on this purchase order just because he did that.

The fella that I work with is one of the best humans on planet earth and I've been there for 10 years, he called me immediately to laugh about it.


Hit me with more work pet peeves.
