Das Arbeitsleben ist für so manche Absurdität gut. Man denke nur an Kunden, die von dir erwarten, dass du ihre E-Mails am Wochenende beantwortest, oder Kollegen, die in einer anderen Zeitzone arbeiten und wütend darüber sind, wenn du noch nicht angefangen hast zu arbeiten, obwohl es bei dir gerade mal Mitternacht ist. Womit man sich halt so rumschlagen muss. Aber mitunter ist es witzig zu sehen, wie uneinsichtig manche Menschen sind, wie die folgenden Beispiele zeigen.
– In Zusammenarbeit mit The Best Social Jobs –
1. Technisch gesehen liegt zwischen 15 Minuten vor Feierabend am Freitag und 15 Minuten nach Arbeitsbeginn am Montag nur eine halbe Stunde.
2. Welchen Teil von „Bin im Urlaub“ hast du nicht verstanden?
Once I had a client who didn’t read my “I’m going on vaca” email. Over the week I was gone, he filled my vmail w/ messages of the “pick up you dumb b” variety. When I was back, I picked up the next one. It was from his wife, apologizing & saying she told him she’d divorce him.

3. Ja, so funktioniert das nicht.
My favourite are the emails in the morning “If we send this file to you today can we have it finished tomorrow?” Followed by an email later at 4:59 “Here are the files, I’ll be in at 8am to pick up the finished product.”

4. Nicht jeder kennt den Unterschied zwischen „es ist dringend“ und „ich bin ungeduldig“.
I had one of those this weekend. First email on Sat, which at first glance I thought could wait till Monday. 2nd email on Sunday with URGENT in the subject line. You may be surprised to learn that it wasn't that urgent.

5. Kann man so machen.
I’ve literally responded to these emails with,”Yes I do see your email. However as our office hours are Monday – Friday, 9AM – 5 PM I am just now able to respond. I will review your message and be with you shortly.

6. Manche Leute glauben, sie wären so wichtig, dass man sich sogar im Urlaub für sie Zeit nehmen müsste.
I went on vacation for a week. Customer emails me on a Monday. HAD TO have gotten my OOO message saying I was out for five days and still emailed me back on Thursday asking why I hadn't responded to her. The audacity.

I had a client’s client (I’m a virtual assistant) that emailed us Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 9am, Sunday at 10am and Monday at 6am complaining that we were ignoring her.
She kept replying to the auto email response saying “we are out of the office until Monday at 9am” 🤦🏼♀️— Bre Yingling (@BGYphotography) December 8, 2020
7. Sie dachten wahrscheinlich, die magische Büro-Fee würde die Anrufe beantworten.
I am so feeling this. Or how about when you check your messages Monday morning, and the most recent message is someone irate because they have called 3 times and you did not respond. Of course, they called 3 times in a row – on Saturday – to an office closed on the weekends

8. So viel zum Thema Privatsphäre am Feierabend.
Used to work from home. A Friday night, 8pm hour, I was home for hours while coworkers in the office worked late. I'm playing on PS4 and get a message: "check your email. We need your input." A co-worker found my PSN and sent me a work email over PlayStation! Immediately blocked.

9. Mit internationalen Büros kann sich der Arbeitsprozess schon mal etwas verzögern, was wohl nicht jeder versteht.
1/2 Also: I work for an international company and I loathe when grown people don't understand that TIMEZONES exist and just because they're at work stalking u on e-mail and Skype doesn't mean that I'm not e.g. sleeping or eating dinner. Then they act like their request should be

2/2 prioritized because acc to their schedule it's been a day. No Brenda, it's been 2 hrs since I started my work day!

10. Das Meeting für Montagmorgen erst am Freitagabend festlegen … Echt jetzt?!
Had the same with an teams meeting. Someone scheduled it at Friday 21:07 for Monday 8:00. I even saw the meeting on my, phone but decided to ignore. He rescheduled it afterwards without a comment. Sometimes you have to train your coworkers.

11. Der Gipfel der Ungeduld.
When I was a TA, I was once emailed at like 1am and 12 minutes later they emailed my supervisor saying I didn’t respond quickly enough

12. Wie bitte?! E-Mails von Arbeit werden nicht in der Freizeit beantwortet? Wo gibt’s denn sowas?!
just check your email on the weekends bro. you’re grown
— SCvM (@sllceman) December 8, 2020
Growing up also means learning self respect, which means you don't waste your weekends with work stuff because other ppl didn't have the decency or respect to email you when they should.
