I understand levity, but, making jokes about how unessential steering or breaks are was not exactly elevating my mood this morning. Especially when you are severely backlogged on recall parts related to such.... and particularly when, after specifically requesting a certain recall and being reassured on different occasions said part was ordered, finding out today that just now the part was no longer blocked and could be ordered. Thanks, #Chevy Northstar Chevrolet ..... So just like Count de Monte Cristo, I will bide my time until Tesla Motors sedan becomes available. I was wondering about the Chevy Volt, but, IDK GM youre making it sound like a bad idea. . . *plotting music* PS: Really though ...I feel bad for the workers who are obviously stressed out. Recall... what recall?, I heard 3 times when I was in the office of maybe 10 minutes total, all said to different people. Tediously, worn out, run-dry, overdone, exhausted - that was the undertone of that response; it might have been fun the first time the guy said it, but now its a kind of desperate attempt to transform the monotony, the droning. Its sad to see the people on the front lines suffering so much for decisions made elsewhere - good people having to lie and/or make awkward attempts at saving face, or taking on the brunt of the stress and psycho-emotional tension. Ill try to keep this in mind when I am called back in (I can only imagine whether or not things will work out with the parts, Im certain at least to have to go back there again, if not some other dealer, for the other recall). Somebody lied to me about the parts - either by omission or the attendant who had to cover up the fact that someone else goofed/failed - and in trying to find out what particularly happened it might have seemed like I was trying to give him a hard time; I was a little flustered, for sure. But its like a chain reaction of defensiveness, someone has to lie to cover this, someone feels offended by the lie or dishonesty, what a spiral it can be. All bolstered by an environment of pressure and every-man-for-himself. Somehow all of this is supposed to make it ok to wage subtle emotional battles on each other, wars of attrition, maybe. I dont want to heed the battle call, puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall. Im trying to make a personal practice to bring healing and comprehension even into situations that are challenging - they are where it is needed most - but its tough sometimes.
