I have nomination from my personal life!

One of my previous jobs beared a striking resemblance to the one I currently have in that I dealt with phone sales and phone troubleshooting. The big difference was that I was one department in a larger not-necessarily-electronics whole rather than a singular entity and focus.

Enter "B," a supervisor from another department who decided she could poach electronics and phone people for jobs elsewhere because "We obviously weren't doing anything." The fact that I was almost always on a service call (that could run the gamut from 10-15 minutes to 2 hours) and/or being called back to answer questions that I (and maybe two others) had the answer to put lie to that.

Instead of admitting ignorance or at least asking me to account for myself, B decided that doing my job was a personal attack against her and tried multiple times to write me up for insubordination.

The pièce de résistance came when B, with a straight face, accused me of conspiring with the call center operators (who are based in Manila) to lengthen the time I was on my service calls so I didn't have to work for her. She thought I somehow organized an international conspiracy over the phone in order to spite her. And no one but her was the wiser? I'm not that persuasive!
