The Best Employee Response Ever. This Is Perfect.

This actually is similar to what a co-worker did years ago.  But instead of creating “Murray”, he blamed himself.  When customers complained “Why are you always out of the ad items here?”, instead of making excuses he just said “I’m sorry.  I screwed up.  I didn’t order enough.   I’m such an idiot.”  Next thing Read More…
