I was mildly phone scammed today.
My phone rings and I pick it up. “Hello, Andrew Smith.”
“Hi Andrew, this is [forgettable name] from HR. We’re going to be running a fire drill in about half an hour, could you tell me who’s in?”
So, after a little confusion I list off half a dozen names and then stumble on one of the contractor’s names.
“That’s okay, I can look up the contractors on my list here. Now I’m going to hang up and sell this list to some employment agency, suckah!”
Okay, the last bit was made up but I’m sure that’s what was going through his mind. Only after I put the phone down did it occur to me that we don’t have any men working in HR. I really don’t like being made a fool of; it cracks the thin veneer of competence.
