Minor things that bother you

The ad worked and you're now a tool of the marketers.

Yep.  Yesterday evening at the gym, I saw a TV ad for a toenail fungus remedy, and all I could think about was whether it was the same product as the one |roadman65| is trying to sell us.

During tonight's rain storm only one of the four dogs went to the bathroom when I let them outside.  The other three are complaining loudly from the laundry room crates.

There is a bathroom outside your house?

I've seen bathrooms (at least the US definitions that don't require an actual bath) outside houses when construction workers are there.

Last time I was in Mexico, the place I stayed at had its bathroom outside the house.

Same with one of the family homes in Jalisco.  Not a lot of fun walking out there to show when it is raining.

My company contracts for work from a large corporation here in the area.  We are in competition with another contracting company.  There used to be three of us, but the third one got the boot from this market last year, because the corporate bigwigs in Atlanta determined that there should only be two of us, and that third contracting company had the lowest metrics of us three.

One of the biggest components of the metrics by which we're graded is post-visit customer survey scores.  Anything less than a 9 out of 10 counts as a 'passive', anything below 7 counts as a 'detractor'.  So if your default score for good service is 8 out of 10, then scoring your tech visit that way actively hurts not just his metrics but also my company's standing as a whole.

Importantly, none of this is within my company's control.  The surveys are designed, sent, and evaluated by the company we do work for—not by the person who employs the field tech who actually provided service to you.  Hurting his score in this way only serves to damage his business as an individual employee and our overall business as a company, but it does nothing to hurt anybody at the corporation that actually designed the system.

Most recent NPS survey comments:
"The tech guy was great.  I am just not a fan of {the company they have service with}.

Gave a score of 6 out of 10.  This means that both our field tech and we as a company are considered a "detractor" for that customer interaction.

Speaking of rain... rain when there's snow on the ground makes it hell to go anywhere, especially when the city can't be assed to plow properly.

Beltway having never owned a dog is one of the least surprising things I've read on this forum.

Growing up we always had at least one dog and sometimes cats.

By age 8 or so I could describe exactly the difference between male and female dogs in how they "do their duty."

They euphemistically referred to firing him as "letting him go."

Some here need to be let go.

Out of curiosity, are you the Beltway that got banned from FlyerTalk?

Frankly -- never heard of Flyer Talk -- is that an aviation forum?

Yep. There just happened to be a user there with the same name that had been banned.

You'd have to ask them, which you now can't, since they're banned.

Toenail fungus would be a minor thing that bothers me if I, in fact, had toenail fungus.

As of late you seem to be working pretty hard as late on making yourself the most unlikable person the forum.  Question is are you doing it intentionally or not?
