I really shouldn't need to say this....

But you've got to know when to shut your mouth. Miguel Montero, now formerly of the Chicago Cubs, called out pitcher Jake Arrieta in the media for a recent loss. Well, this morning the Cubs DFA'd Montero and that's all she wrote. 

This is a great example of how not to handle difficulties at work. Use your chain of command, vent to a trusted friend, something just don't blast them on social media where it can come back to bite you in the butt. This should be a given, but obviously it isn't. 

I hope everyone can take a lesson and just kno when you are made to just shut up. You don't think straight and can say stuff that can get you  in trouble or fired. Who knows why folks do this but these are really just my random thoughts.

I'm back

Hey y'all, I'm back with some more of my random thoughts. If you are leaving a voice mail dealing with a business matter, leave your number at least twice. My seasonal temp job is in sales and the amount of people that don't leave a number is astonishing. Also, if you are filling out an online request for information that requires your phone number, make sure your voice mail is set and/or not full. That's not a great impression and you are losing the opportunity to do business that will benefit you. This should be common sense, but it is really just my random thoughts.  #business #success #voicemail #phone #blog #random
