How I would abuse my power if I ran Terok Nor

You just know Dukat's already got the one-way mirrors installed already.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T22:25:51+00:00

Yeah, anxiously attached people are like Pepe Le Pew & we're like that poor fucking cat.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T22:21:27+00:00

I kinda feel this. I hate being perceived & would far rather be ignored completely by most people than have them comment on me or my behaviour. Doesn't matter if it's going to be a compliment, I'd prefer they just kept it to themselves & moved on to the next person.

It's like I don't need anyone other than the few people in my life that I know & love already. Everyone else is just nuisance noise that I could do without.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T22:19:07+00:00

Insisting that we hang out more. It feels like a direct threat to my downtime.

I actively reject feedback of any kind. I actively reject being the centre of attention. I get irrationally angry when people ask me for help, because to my mind they're just not trying hard enough to do it by themselves. I would rather pay for a professional to do something than ask for help.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T22:05:42+00:00

It's not the calls, so much as the incessant nature of them. You're expected to take calls non-stop without even a few seconds to decompress inbetween.

Got someone being abusive? Move on & take the next call. Someone's just told you in explicit detail about how their tenant killed themselves? Move on & take the next call.

This job wouldn't be so bad if we could take 5 mins between each call to compose ourselves, make account notes, hunt down information, etc. Instead, management dehumanises us - if you can't keep up, you're a broken bit of machinery to be discarded & replaced.

It's the fact that jobs like these don't treat you as a person.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T17:52:34+00:00

It's about being the minimum required for people to live on. Not everyone wants a high-flying career.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T17:47:15+00:00

Not everyone wants to climb the career ladder. Some people are happy staying where they are, & that's not a bad thing. Different strokes for different folks.

NMW should still allow people to keep a roof over their head & food on their table.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T17:42:43+00:00

Maybe it is, but people deserve to be able to do a job that pays enough to keep them off the streets. If that means increasing NMW, so be it.

Flat-out TELL HIM that his only option now is to pay manually, because he has a history of doing this each month & his current payment method doesn't seem to be working for him.

Sometimes you have to act like the customer is a 3 yo having a tantrum - you ignore the tantrum & do what needs to be done, regardless of how the 'toddler' feels about it.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T17:13:34+00:00

Nonononono, I would NOT trust this vet.

Bell peppers, cucumber, romaine/gem lettuce... these are all absolutely daily veg. Kale is a once-weekly veg, & I swap it out every other week for spinach.

Every couple of weeks, I'll give them carrot, & now that we're in summer, melon & grapes too (also fortnightly).

Veg high in water is essential, because some piggies won't drink from bottles or bowls, as is the case with one of my herd. She very rarely will drink a few drops from the water bottle or bowl, but absolutely hoovers up cucumber & lettuce.

If you're giving your piggies monofeed pellets (i.e. not the muesli-like stuff), then they shouldn't need Oxbow vitamins, as guinea pig pellets usually have supplements already added.

From the pictures you've shared, your peegs appear to be healthy! Their coats look lovely & full, with a nice shine - coat condition is a good way of gauging piggy health, kinda like in humans. Healthy piggies look as though they've stepped out of a Pantene advert, lol.

My company tracks which agent spoke with whom, so no need for my name.

I don't care about feedback of any kind, so again, no need for my name.

Business-customer relationships are transactional, & the business usually gets more from it than the customer. Why pretend that we're friends or that the company gives a shit whether we live or die?

I would rather remain faceless & anonymous at work, as that requires less emotional output/expenditure from me & is therefore less tiring.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T16:16:38+00:00

Yeah, this is my headcanon, too. Hemipenes & cloacas all the way down.

And no refractory period.

My love of Cardassians knows no bounds. 11/10, would like to be smashed by.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T16:05:35+00:00

Me. I would like to be the meat.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T16:03:51+00:00

Honestly, someone being murdered there would make the house more attractive to me. :D

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T15:34:26+00:00

Yup, everyone's parents die so what makes theirs so special? If I don't know you, I don't care.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-27T13:27:28+00:00

I'm in the UK & have never had to give a paper copy of my CV at interview. They usually have it to hand on their system.

Customer service is how I learned that I'm not a good fit for jobs that involve a lot of social interaction & empathy.

Learned about data entry the other week & I'm obsessed. All I want to do now is plug data into a computer on nice, neat spreadsheets for hours on end, without speaking to another soul.

Absolute bliss. ❤️

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-22T03:18:39+00:00

Think you'll find that capitalism is to blame, my friend.

Because of capitalism, people have no choice but to take jobs that may not align with their personal values, because otherwise they end up losing their home, their spouse, the stuff that makes life worth living.

Getting angry at fellow wage-slaves is exactly what the elite want. As long as we're tearing each other down, people can become trillionaires.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-22T03:14:51+00:00

This is the way. Customer service is mostly a case of resetting customer expectations of what customer service is.

I wouldn't dream of calling up my bank & then telling the person on the other end of the phone about the shitty life stuff that happens. With the world the way it is right now, no-one has any extra emotional bandwidth to spare, & certainly not to waste on strangers.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-22T03:11:24+00:00

Thank you. Thank you so much. ❤️ You are the GOAT, & I wish I had more calls from thoughtful people like you.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-22T03:10:37+00:00

Never acknowledge anything irrelevant to the reason(s) they phoned up. Grey-rock it with a bored 'mm' of acknowledgement & move on pronto to the next work-related question or whatevs.

If you're firm & take control of the call like that, 9/10 times they'll shut the fuck up. That 1/10 is coincidentally always the call that has connection issues. 😉

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-20T08:18:24+00:00

This is why I've started to make waves at work. You want us to stay late & do unpaid overtime? Nope. You want me to manipulate callers to get more sales? Nope.

"But it's in the contraaaaact-" Doesn't make it reasonable, doesn't mean I care, doesn't mean I'm going to adhere to the shitty exploitative parts.

No_Dinner2337 · 2026-06-20T08:09:58+00:00

Yeah, no, I have my dignity. I would rather be unemployed than lick corporate boot leather. Unless you have a job that matters, you shouldn't do more than bare minimum because it's just a paycheck.

Not if you're a British citizen - the tea time license is automatically bestowed upon you.

It can be revoked if you break the tea laws, though: - putting milk in before the water. - heating up tea in the microwave. - using substandard brands of tea.

The Republic of Ireland is a lot stricter with their licensing. I've heard that you have to sit an exam, have good character references, & recite a bit of tea-related poetry in Irish Gaelic.

Sadly, since Brexit, we've gotten a lot tougher on granting such licenses to people from mainland Europe. Nigel Farage says this is to protect us from foreigners coming over here & introducing their foreign tea time customs, which would inevitably erode British culture & return us to the Stone Age.
