Just happened to glance at this thread and I am glad to see it is not just EZY that have the trolls working for them, ours (Flying Clara) has been booted out recently. Fear not chaps, people like missterrible have ego trips on the fact that they may have some (limited) information that could make all the difference to some fairly life changing senarios and decisions that they have no comprehension of whatsoever and they get off on having people come to them for that info and they milk it to the last to massage their over inflated egos. Shame really.
Heard an ammusing tale recently of someone who had been told he would hear news fairly soon about a job and had been given a probable start date and advised to keep that clear in his diary. As the date grew closer and he had heard nothing he though a polite phonecall might be in order. He got some HR troll who was obvioulsy busy with her skinny latte at the inoportune moment he made his enquiry, and he was told in simple terms "don't call us, we will call you". This chap had the good sense to take note of the date, time and NAME of the person with whom he had had this encounter.
The date he was told to keep clear arrived with no further information having been received. Late that day he received a phonecall from companies' training department asking where he was? His type rating course started that morning!
This type of thing happens day in and day out in the airlines and you get these power tripping runts making comments like that of missterrible above, but the moral of my little tale was that the HR troll in this story was allready on it's last warning and was clearing out it's desk by the time this guy hit the line!
Arrogance is everyewhere I am afraid, but come the day they needed you yesterday then that will change to, until then I am afraid that the cancer that is jumped up trolls like MissT above is just something, sadly, that has to be endured, but rest assured people skills like its' don't go unrewarded for ever, good luck chaps, don't let them get you down and never, never loose your sense of humour
