Rude secretaries

Sep 22, 2014

How do you handle them? I have one who was horrible today , talked to me so rude.

They are NOT there to be courteous to the hired help!

Take their rudeness as a FACT...See More

Retired Teacher I retired a few years ago and wish that, on my final day at school, I would have told off the two secretaries in my building! Honestly, I don't know who they thought they were! Never said good morning or goodnight. I would have to stand in front of the counter (which they sat behind) for at least one to two minutes before they would look up and ack...See More

You may have... gone to far when you messed with the secretary. Broadcasting a

statement like that did not go unnoticed. In my district, saying anything remotely similar to that would be cause for never getting to darken the door of that school again.

Good luck to you and I hope this is not the case but knowing how the secretaries are as a group...See More
