Con Call complaint

I spend a LOT of time on the phone.. you just won't believe it.. conference calls lah, one on one calls lah you name it...

One of the things i really beh tahan is that because the company I work with is such a conference call centric company, there are a lot of folks who now have managed to develop an art of "feeling busy" on con calls.

There are some calls that are damn boring... so u just wanna sign on, announce your name, then continue playing Need for Speed: Carbon or watch Amazing Race Asia.

On some of these calls, there is another trick where you sign on, then you cepat cepat announce "by the way, I have a call in 30 mins so can I give my update first?". BTW, this happens on the weekly staff call.

Then there's the bloody irritating character who, everytime he speaks, must say "hi this is XXXX". I'm like flip! We know la! Why must always announce your name one? You think we dono ah?

Then there's this other character, he starts the meeting, then he keeps quiet, then at the end of the meeting, he summarizes. HAHAHAHA... most of the time, it's the consultants who do this!
