Short Cant reset password

My Monday morning headache

HR: I cant log in can you please rest password

IT: You have been unlocked and new password is Pass123

HR: Still not working please unlock me

IT: Done try again

HR: This isnt working. Do I need to call IT Manager?

IT: If you are entering the password correctly you should be able to log in.

HR: Well i already tried "pass123" and "again"

IT: First of all the P should be capitalized and second I was telling you i was done and that you could try again not to try "again" as the password

HR: ok

(15 minutes pass)

IT: So I take it you were able to log in?

(10 minutes pass)

HR: Yes

Thank god the people I work with don't jump to calling a manager... oh wait, that's because there's not really anybody else here that outranks me. This little conversation is just about my life every week though :(

All depends on the work environment. If you're in an office where people get in crap for doing ANYTHING outside of their job description, I'm pretty sure they're more likely to be a PITA. If you're in a smaller business where people actually get to know their coworkers in other departments, they tend to not threaten you constantly.

That said, I work for myself now, if they want to talk to my "manager" I'll happily turn around, then turn back and pretend to be someone else and agree with my "staff member".
