The ones who give you a blank stare when you say your card's not working, take it from you, push some buttons, give it back to you and possibly wave you through, all without saying a word.) I know Metro Station Manager is not the most fun job in the world. But if you can't make an effort to behave like a human being then you need to find another job.Apanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-58404450496121865872010-03-29T09:43:04.700-04:002010-03-29T09:43:04.700-04:00"the nature of the job -- so you expect a per..."the nature of the job -- so you expect a person who interacts with the public to speak pleasantly, though you may not imagine it's a specific requirement..."<br />Gee, I've forgotten if the station manager was speaking pleasently when he refused to tell me his name or employee # to file a complaint. <br />I guess Metro really knows how to choose them, Not.<br />As one of the earlier comments said- a few jewels mixed in with a lot of BS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-26031327970027861612010-03-29T09:33:16.023-04:002010-03-29T09:33:16.023-04:00If I read a person's job description and am sh...If I read a person's job description and am shocked at some of the things they're required to do... that's a bad sign...<br /><br />Some of the things you might expect a station manager to do may come more from the nature of the job -- so you expect a person who interacts with the public to speak pleasantly, though you may not imagine it's a specific requirement...<br /><br />Hm.
