If you were informing her of your name politely, there would have been no reason at all to point to your name tag. The only reason to do that would have been if you were trying to act like a jackass

It should be, "someone of a higher status thaN I", no?

What are you, a guard at auschwitz?

That's what happens when you deal with people in the in-bred corporate world. They don't know their ass from a hole in the ground...

#1; Racist much?

Managers can be such IDIOTS at times. I used to work as a "cleaning lady" at a McDonald's on the Kansas Turnpike for three years, and ironically enough I had a manager named Stephanie. Stephanie was just a few years older than me, and of course it burned me up a little that she was already had a husband, a kid, and a better job than me. But she DEFINITELY did not have much in the way of common sense. One late shift, the night janitor called in sick very suddenly, putting us in a pinch. Usually when there's no janitor available at closing time, it was expected that I would cover some of his tasks. However, that night we were already a little short-staffed, so there was one major task that needed to be done that I had never done before: closing down the men's bathroom. In fact, I wasn't supposed to do it at all, since I'm a woman and it was considered unethical. I even voiced my concern about this, but Stephanie figured that I could just lock the door behind me and everything would be okay. She was the boss (on duty, at least) so I went and gathered up my gear and headed to do the job. And that's where I found the first major flaw in Stephanie's plan: the door would NOT lock. It would not even CLOSE. Its design was such that it was permanently barred open. And I did NOT like it. I went back to Stephanie right away, told her about the door's design, and told her I did NOT like it and that I was NOT comfortable with having to do the work under the circumstances. Her response? "Put some 'Area Closed' signs in front of the doorway. That will keep customers from entering the bathroom while you're cleaning it." Major Flaw #2 in Stephanie's plan: unfortunately, Stephanie's lack of common sense is an average statistic among men with full bladders late at night. I did exactly as she told me to, and as I was cleaning, men were ignoring the "Area Closed" signs and coming in and using the restroom RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I didn't even file a complaint against her until a couple of days later because I was so embarrassed by the incident. So it just goes to show you, common sense is not very common, and in middle management it's downright rare.

All I can say is... bureaucracy.

Look on the bright side if you ever wanted to shoot up the place it could never be traced to you after all your name is Stefanie ;P ... (disclaimer, I in no way condone the shooting up of an office this is merely a post for comedic purposes)

#37 Get over it, if you're a cleaner, you should be willing to clean anything. I have to clean bathrooms filled with men showering, it's part of the job, and if you can't handle it you need a different career.
