Yup, there's the justification right on time. They had to abandon basic civility and professionalism to "hit their targets."
Thats why they can be abusive, ignore the company process for tickets, threaten their coworkers, whatever they want. They need to "stay on parnet track" and "hit their targets." No one else has any stressors or requirements at their workplace, just the lawyers.
Nevermind that the "support staff" make sure lots of people, processes and services work, and may individually be more important to "hitting targets" for the company as a whole than any individual lawyer.
How about the lawyers "do their job" by interacting with their coworkers professionally? By submitting tickets correctly and in a timely manner?
Abusing your coworkers is never justified.
edit: nix this.
they never justified anything.
they explained.
explained why they were raging assholes or whatever.
but didn't justify.
Nah, that was justification. If only "the service workers" would "do their jobs," then it wouldn't have to happen.
"If you just didn't make me mad, I wouldn't have to X" is abuser 101.
gah, I'm an idiot. Yes, you're quite right. Somehow I read the longer rants, but missed the last shorter post which was peak BS.
