Passes

[BANGKOK RED]

If I was 'told off' like a naughty little boy then I wouldn't be happy, regardless of their position. Constructive criticism or even discipline (When appropriate) however then fair enough.

If he was acting as though she is inferior to him as his post suggests then I'd understand if she get a tad pissed off, I know that I'd likely bite.

Too fucking right.

My take on this:

She's got a job to do and she probably gets pissed off with being fucked about by people who think they're her superior purely because of the job she does.

If you look down on others and they get the chance to bring you down a peg or two, good for them.

I'm not suggesting that anyone on here is like that, but I fucking hate pompous cunts, who are up their own arse just because they've got (what they perceive as) a good job, or a bit of cash.

I was pissed of with the way I was spoken to, and 2 other people that heard it agreed with me as well, I merely came in the door and said I have forgotten my pass can I have a temp badge please (which is probably the 2nd time in about 8 years I've been here that I forgot it), I'm not saying she is below me, although she is smaller than me....

But it was more to the point of it is not her job to tell me off, her job is to man reception desk and deal with visitors, passes don't get checked, fine say to me can you try and remember it next time which is fine and I can accept that, but to be spoken to as if I was a naughtly little school boy is just not right,  talk to people the way you would like to be spoken to yourself.

And Mr D the reason IT get badges and no one else does is that we have to be able to get on and off the floors and without a badge we wouldn't be able to do much work as we'd be hammering on the door for someone to let us in all day (which is fine by me really as I'd prefer to earn money and not work)

Managed to miss your post p2p. You sound a bit more reasoned now, your initial rant did come across as a bit up yourself and I apologise if my reply (and the other ones to janaage's gay whiteknighting) came across a bit strong.

I still think that when you forget your pass she's within her rights to have words, and if you were at all acting like the tone of your first post entailed then fair play to her for knocking you down a bit.

The "talk to people the way you would like to be spoken to yourself" is an ace idea, but can you claim you've never been condescending to someone?

But you are a cunt Fred, so whats the problem?  

FWIW, my take on this, being used to having to show my pass to enter a secure working environment daily. The Security Guard is there to ensure people who are not entitled to access the secure area they protect don't. Therefore if you have forgot your pass, and can't provide any positive ID to prove you are who you say you are, tough. In my case, I need to show some form of photo ID (Passport, Driving Licence), and get someone in my office to vouch for me before they will issue me with a temporary pass. Bit of a shit when I arrive around 0730 on the latter score.

It is your personal responsibility to remember your ID. That said, if the guard in question was off-handed, then thats another story. Its fair to say some do take their duties a little too officiously, but that doesn't excuse poor manners.
