Ask for help at work? LOL. Lots of times I get a brush off or get ghosted. There was this guy who kept saying he would come into the lab in a few minutes and then just disappeared. I remember at my last job my officemate would ask if I needed help and when I said yes she would say 'I just remembered something else I had to do' and then run off. I asked a woman in customer service if she could tell customers we don't have time to test samples that get submitted late on Friday and she just said 'Not my problem."
