oh, yes...untill iˋve said my 5-part-greeting one minute is over...

Haha, yep Can we make bets on how many times we still get "is that you [insert another colleague's name]?" or "sorry, who's speaking?"

i think 80% -would be like that.

 

[agresionpower]

Haha, sadly no, but there was a high platform on the side so I easily saw over everyone.

ah, that's always nice
you would love EMM than

Executive decided that we should all answer the phone the same way. My phone rings so infrequently that I have a hard enough time spitting out my own name, let alone a three-part greeting

How wonderful it would be if I could answer the phone with "yeah?" or "what?"

over here saying who's answering the phone is the thing to do. if you don't it's considered extremely rude.

if somebody calls and doesn't say his/her name and asks for a colleague right away I'll just hang up the phone (most of them are from the UK or america)

I always answer the phone with "ja?" Typically Belgium, and I like it.

You'd love Eindhoven Metal Meeting. There's this big platform along the floor. If you find a decent place there, you can watch over all people .

I've always done that at work but never at home...sometimes on the mobile if it's a number I don't recognise. Some receptionists don't and I'm sitting at the other line waiting to find out who I'm talking to That is of course if it's anyone other than switchboard...most people don't want a lengthy conversation before getting to person they really want to talk to

I could never get away with that in my job To be fair though, most of the time when they don't, it's because they call up that often that we no longer have to ask

Well, if you are calling me, you know who you'll get. So why bother?

Job interview, nothing. Waste of time.
