I came across a workplace hazard just a little bit ago. There was a curious package in the freezer at work. It was disguised as something pleasant and inviting, almost too inviting. So I flagged it as a possible workplace hazard to warn coworkers.

There was recently a big issue with this one customer of ours, and the job to drive the ticket through AT&T fell in my lap. I spent around 90 minutes fighting with them to even get a ticket opened, and finally got to a person who could find the circuit I was calling in. They were reluctant to build the ticket, and I expressed to them that in the time I spent bouncing around in their system the ticket was escalated to a very high level. They asked what level that was. I replied “It’s been escalated to puppy kicking status. We have a whole lineup of puppies here, and we’re going to have to start kicking them soon if nothing gets done on this. I don’t want to kick them, but it’s part of their process. So please try and get moving on this”.
