Management email

I have been informed the manager will be sending out an email regarding personal phone calls at work. The manager warned this coworker it was coming saying it is not directed specifically at her. It is meant for everyone. I told her she can blame me for the upcoming email. I emailed my manager a week ago about an incident where a coworker talking to his wife on the phone asked me to get the ringing phone. I was helping a customer at the time he said that. Then had to ask the customer what he said since I was interrupted. I hope my coworkers won't me hate too much from this. Customers should take precedence over personal phone calls. If you find yourself in the situation where an associate ignoring you as they talk on the phone, do not be shy about complaining. Associates resent it too. At one job, a coworker often glued to the phone said that our jobs are so easy. I said that was because I'm doing all the work.

Today a coworker called in sick. Nobody believes he is sick. He was glued to the phones all day yesterday because his brother was flying in with his family. They went to dinner that night. Then on top of that he comes up with an allergy to a dog excuse and felt nauseous with an upset stomach. Nausea is not a symptom of an allergy. I have allergies so I know. The man has 2 dogs since he moved here and suddenly he is allergic to them when his brother is in town. A coworker came in on her day off with a cold to cover for him. I asked why he didn't just ask for a couple days off to spend time with his family. That is allowed. She said, Exactly. I said he could have food poisoning or drank too much wine. We can only hope. My coworker said that he is making her look good and himself look bad in the eyes of management. We have agreed to stop helping this coworker so much and let him hang himself. He is doing a good job of it. I told her to give him a hard time tomorrow. She promised to. Post later. Bye!
