I have the opposite version of that at my current workplace. Things that really need to be in writing, and usually need to be in writing with a specific individuals signature on them, are given as verbal updates in meetings or in various wechat messages.

Yeah, that is also annoying.

Green bins… biweekly pickup till may is ridiculous, compounding the issue further is that they have somehow managed to only empty half my bin the last two pickups… it’s going to be 6 weeks now to rake my yard

Boomers who think emails should be answered at the same frequency as letters.

This. Or boomers who only want to send emails during "acceptable hours" like they were calling. My inlaws had some non-emergency issue at their place and instead of sending an email after supper on friday when they discovered it, they stressed all weekend over sending the email at 8am Monday morning.

Some of our users don't like it when we send emails late at night.

They can go learn how to use their fucking phone properly.

does that ACTUALLY work? I had a missed blue bin pickup and they sent a guy to come lecture me the next day about how I didn't put it in the right spot so we can monitor the situation again next week. Full bin was full for another week.

Last time they missed mine, they said it would be 3-5 biz days for them to come get it. Per usual CoC services are as useless as tits on a nun.

Yeah it'll take a few days but they will pick it up.

Can't handle people I work with that prefer to handle things either verbally or "off the books".
Vendor mistakes or shortages that don't have a paper trail or nonconformity documentation-the same vendors then end up making the same errors over and over again.
This is why e-mails with read requests trump phone calls.
Not that the buyers give a fuck since they also get cc'd on the e-mail and the vendor non conformance reports and never follow up on their end.

I think this is everyone who works for the city. Also, not providing a phone number to contact someone. Only email was provided. Not that they would answer there dam phone anyways. Fuck, city employees are useless. I could go in about how they creat a new process, bit provide zero insight how it is to work and all the information they do manage to send out is completely wrong, or the people who are said to be dealing with an aspect of it, don't know and pass along to someone else.....fakkkkkkk

I think in general terms, its unacceptable nowadays to not get back to someone sameday.

Or at least, it should be, and its utter bullshit if someone doesn't.

The Formula E race in Vancouver got cancelled. It was for Canada Day and I had tickets.
Consider these jimmies to be rustled!

Sounds like you were setting yourself up for disappointment on so many levels with that one
