Men Behaving Badly

Several of our newer call center reps think it's fun to run around in the aisles, wrestle & yell over their cubicles at each other during business hours. Yes, really. One guy even broke another guy's shoulder because they were rough-housing. Their managers seem to promote this immature behavior & one manager seems to think he's coaching a kid's ball team. He constantly yells "GO TEAM!" & "HOW ARE WE DOING TODAY?" in a very loud voice. This can be heard all across the call center.

Needless to say, if I brought up the immaturity of the CSRs to their manager, he wouldn't do anything about it. Therefore, I will be sending the information to the manager's supervisor to see if something can be done about the disruptive behavior the rest of us have to endure on a daily basis. I'm sick of the stupidity!

Is the now injured worker on Worker's Comp??? After all, he was injured on the job!

Also what kind of place do you work?!? Rumpus Room? How old is the boss? 10 years old?

WTH is wrong with you? You're the type of person that drags down morale. I'm wondering if you take incoming calls or are the type of jerk that calls people at home during family dinners. I *know* you don't do tech support, cause then you'd know that fooling around is necessary to keep sane. That "work shouldn't be fun" mentality is a bunch of BS. You have to enjoy your work environment to excel, and sometimes, it involves getting a little out-of-hand. Why don't you see if you can move farther away from these antics, readjust the seating arrangement before you go rat on people? True, the shoulder thing is an extreme, but how often does something of that magnitude happen?

Bored Techie,
Please grow up. When the workplace is unprofessional, it demeans the company and disrupts business. You wouldn't last a week where I work, which is what happened to the last "Fun" guy that was hired. He thought it was fine to run around whooping and hitting people too, which is all well and good if you're in kindergarten.

I'll bet that bored techie is under age 25. They call it "work" buddy--as in "I'm going to work" not "I'm going to fun." Grow-up--you must be the fool that the Poster is complaining about.

Dumber than a Catbox Full of Sh*t (12/26/2007) Wow! You just described my work environment--an inner city high school! Contact your insurance carrier anonymously to report that the broken shoulder incident was a result of this type of behavior--not the "accident" which I'll bet was listed on all the paparwork.
