Terms of endearment in the workplace

That's the thing, I can't be rude because 100% of our calls are recorded. I ask nicely can you please call me by my name. How is that rude to a patient? My name is my name. But because I technically work customer service, that doesn't mean I want to be called sweetheart, baby, or honey.

And I don't think I should have to ask to be respected. Respect should just be a given.

Well it sounds like your a receptionist at a medication dispensary. It sounds like your a girl. Honestly your not important, I do not care if your a RN/CN or whatever. Your just a human being that interacts with people. If you work in a pharmacy again your not important because you have a certificate or whatever. Clap, Clap you can read and count numbers, and do not want to pick up trash. Clap Clap.

I did work, where I was responsible for children, homeless, elderly, and interacted with city officials, police, lawyers, community-people, medical-doctors, and their families and I had to deal with homosexuals and certifiable perverts and Pedophiles in the area calling me "sweet cheeks"

I am not going to turn around and punch somebody in the face for being a sicko, I am going to continue on with my duties.

I could eliminate your receptionists entirely and replace you with a computer with buttons with one person behind the counter and no human interaction at all ( just like the Japanese ticket booth agents ). That is how useful you are.

Your not the president, your not god, your not a CEO of some kind of border-line-lesbian agency.

................

You need to grow up and understand the world could get a lot worst then from where your located.

The thing is, Barry, you can't control what others say or do, only what you say and do and how you feel about it.

Many people use those terms the way others say 'you know'. They don't mean it in a disrespectful way and probably don't even realize they're doing it. You can continue to be annoyed about this or you can let it go. You're making it a bigger deal than it needs to be.

...but you can control what others call you.

Calp calp plac plac I am not a writing major. You do not want to wake up to reality that people are people and if you want to feel special then maybe you should up your rank so you will have that power you feel that you so richly deserve.
