For the fifth time in 5 days and you hear "the voicemail box is full and can not accept messages at this time......"
That's not stressful at all. When this man is in charge of working out what happens with the next 2.5 years of your life.
Listen, lawyers, doctors, prosecutors, cops and judges, these people routinely deal with situations that drastically impact the rest of peoples lives. But they do it so much that they get cavalier about it. Just another day, case, patient, diagnosis, sentence, set of charges...
I get it.. I do it in my job and life. But the impact is less.. telling someone their computers will be up and down for the rest of the week has an impact. To me it's just what it is. But that's just inconvenience, and maybe a little bit of money.
In these life changing events. When you tell a 34 year old woman she will never go on a hike again because you spent 20 min in the last three months thinking about her..
if it was your mother, father, daughter, neighbor, would you answer the phone? Have a little more tenacity in solving the problem? A little more compassion and understanding when dealing with people?
It's frustrating!
These jobs are endlessly important and hard. The people in them are undervalued and stretched to the limit. But man...
