woops.... lawsuit here we come!
« on: July 13, 2005, 02:04:28 PM »
I have an assistant named Charity that is pretty hot and goes by another name when she is doing customer service calls.

Well... A business associate of the bosses walks in about 20 minutes ago, when she was telling a customer her "other name" and when he is introduced to her... he asked her if that was her stripping/stage name as well.  OUCH!!

Well... she just left my office telling me that she is pissed.  I'm going to hear more from her on this, I'm sure.  

Also, when this bellybutton asked her that, the owner of my company was standing right there and he just walked away.

Why does she have another name? Is she a stripper or something? ;)



BTW, when I'm doing my customer calls, I go by the name, "Dirk Diggler".

It is fairly common in call centers to not use your name, stalkers and all, hell I have had guys refuse to the point they said they would quit to give out their last name.


We stopped letting them us fake names were I work because techs were using dif ones each call to make it harder to track them being rude lol.


I have always used my real name. I have even gotten death threats.  No one has followed through :)

I do have an unlisted phone number and address though.

Someone wants to come after me? I am big and mean, and I work support so I am pissed at the time too! :D

Watch out for those groupies, Skuzzy. I've had to council a few junior techs about those IT groupies.

This was after we had one poor fellow get into some serious trouble over a girl. Seems she didn't take him not visiting her during and after work anymore very well.

Been there, done that,..sort of.  Almost had to get a restraining order to keep her away.  And she was a lawyer.  OY!

I'd tell her to grow a thicker skin...

"I understand your annoyance with the guy, however; unless you think you can prove the guys question was meant to demean or harrass you for being a woman, I doubt you've got anything more than a stupid question to deal with here. On the other hand, should this guy carry on in the same vein the next time you run into him, I'd like to hear about it immediately and you can count on my assistance in pursuing the matter to your satisfaction."

Guess your guy never took the class called "How not to Piss Women off at Work and get fired". I think the code name for it is S@xual Harrasment training.......:)

unlikely a single incident would create a lawsuit--I mean a winnable suit, they could always file.

well I'm not a lawyer or anything moose nore do I know what kind of business you are in BUT:


title 47 code of federal regulations, part 64, subpart L Restrictions on Telephone Solicitation

"A person or entity making a telephone solicitation must provide the called party with the name of the individual caller, the name of the person or entity on whose behalf the call is being made, and a telephone number or address at which the person or entity may be contacted."

Doesnt excuse the guy being an ****** though.

It's only sexual harrasment if she finds you unattractive.
