Customers Aren't Angry - They're Afraid!
A tremendous amount of time, money, and energy is invested in corporate America teaching customer service reps and other associates how to avoid, reduce, and remedy conflicts with customers.Examine the classes offered by giants in the training industry, and you’ll always seem to find something pertaining to “Dealing With Conflict & Difficult Customers.”It’s an appealing title, to be sure, and robust registrations will support such offerings.But it’s all based on a faulty premise: That the major impediment that needs to be addressed, remedied, overcome, is dealing with angry people.What if customers aren’t angry?

Years ago, most offices had a saying stuck somewhere on the walls. It might have been near the copier, near the coffeepot, or near the water cooler – where supposedly everyone gathered. (Funny, I never saw people gathered around any water coolers where I worked.)

These words were a motivational saying that showed up when the copy repairman arrived. When he repaired the copiers the man needed something with words and graphics on it to test the copier, and he brought his own pages with him. He gave a copy of the week’s or month’s motivational quote to the receptionist or secretary before he left, and she usually made a few copies – one for the boss, who ultimately posted it in some prominent place, and one to each of her closest co-workers. In every office where I worked– in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Texas – there were copies of this saying. It began, “If you work for a man, work for him…”

Long ago, my last withered, crinkled and yellowed copy of those words disappeared from my personal files. The gist of the message, of course, was just how it began. If you work for a man, work for him. Give him – or your job – the attention it deserves, since he – or the company – is paying you to work.

In an Internet search, I found two quotations similar to the ones that adorned the offices and break rooms of the past.

If you work for someone, then work for him: Speak well of him and stand by the institution he represents. Remember, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must growl, condemn, and eternally find fault, resign your position and when you are on the outside, complain to your hearts content. But as long as you are a part of the institution do not condemn it.

Follow-Up Letters Win Job Offers
A surefire way to separate yourself from a sea of other qualified candidates is to write a follow-up letter after an interview. Most job seekers neglect to write a letter, assuming that once they leave the interviewer’s office the interview is over. Well, it isn’t. The interview process extends beyond the one-on-one meeting and it is up to you to keep your candidacy in the forefront of the decision-maker’s mind.An effective follow-up letter serves two purposes: (1) It reminds the interviewer of your skills, knowledge and abilities; with the number of candidates they are interviewing, it can be easy to get lost in the crowd. (2) It demon

Law School Rankings - The Biggest Bunch of Bunk Since Unsliced Bread
Although I understand that this can be very difficult to do, you must view the popular published law school rankings skeptically. These rankings are not only untrustworthy, but mislead students into thinking they need to attend a highly ranked school or they will be second rate lawyers do to their "substandard" law school education. This is simply not true. What is true, in my opinion unfortunately, is that going to a highly ranked law school can have an enormous financial (note: NOT educational) impact on your early legal career. That is why

When you work for a man, work for him. Give him your dedication, honesty, sincerity and 100% of your skills. If you must damn him, do so from without; quit and then damn him to high heaven if that is your wish. But while you are in his employ, do nothing or say nothing negative about him, or to him.

The second version sounds more like the one we had in offices throughout the land.

Today, we need this quotation or something similar posted on offices, in retail stores and in fast food restaurants. We need words like these everywhere today, at least in the United States. Customer service and company loyalty are really lacking.

It might be a good idea if we made words such as these a part of our educational system and shared them during new employee orientation and training. I wonder, though, if it would make a difference. These words may not be specific enough for today’s employees. We might have to explain what is and is not proper behavior for an employee.

When you work for a man, work for him. Give him your best. Do not spend time checking personal emails, creating listings for single’s personal web sites, or doing your Internet shopping at work. The workday belongs to the man or the company that pays you, and you are paid to perform a job, not to do your personal business. Company phones, copiers, fax machines and computers are there for company business. If you must speak on the phone, please try to do so on your lunch time or coffee break.
