A point in every direction is the same as no point at all

Welcome denizens of the Den of Various Iniquities!

Welcome to The Most Pointless Day of Employment EVAH!

You will see empty concourses, and vacant gates. The speakers are silent, the bar is abandoned, every person you see will have a badge! The day drags on, the snow keeps falling, and the terminal remains empty and practically lifeless.

Welcome to pointlessness in action.

Would you argue the point?

No.

Not on a bet.

It never entered my mind.

can't you just close shop and go home? It will cost you more money to stay open than you are likely to make today.

I don't get to make that call. The company in charge of quality control for the airport does. If we close when they want us open we get fined and if we piss them off enough, they kick us out. The fine is enough to earn me disciplinary action. Our kiosk closing would leave me most likely unemployed.

Believe me, I would happily beat someone bloody for the chance to have a day off. I don't exactly have a raging hard-on for this job anymore.

has it picked up at all no that the snow has ended?

bleh...so why exactly does a security company /manage/ the businesses at the airport?

[identity profile] bluestareyed.livejournal.com 2009-03-03 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
to ensure "quality customer service"

similar companies manage mall kiosks.

...that is the most ridiculous think I have heard today. Being a security specialist does not qualify one as a customer service expert...

Companies are allowed to have multiple focii. Its been known to happen. Over-specialization is a death knell in certain industries.

[identity profile] blitzy.livejournal.com 2009-03-04 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
yes true, but normally the focii are more interelated, security specialist/merc group, Technology sales/IT support, Tobacco Company/Smokers Health Groups ( lol )

Security specialist/Customer service specialist sounds more like something that evolved simply because malls / Shopping Concourses wanted to outsource what should be their own responsibility.

Meh.
