I always try to explain to people why I don’t like when they just call my name across a house.
If you would like something, come ask me, or shoot me a message if it’s not super important.
I’m not a dog. I’m not a servant. You will not summon me like one. You will not snap your fingers or whistle to get my attention. If you do, you get ignored.
My wife was having issues directly related to (caused by) things at work, and she called their mental health line.
The number led to an automated system that forwarded you to somewhere else, and even though it was solidly in operating times and away from meal times, it went to a messaging system
She never got a call back. Nothing was ever mentioned again.
0/10, MAGNA does not care about it’s employees or factory safety.
And blocking is great! I’ve blocked many spam bots, people with hateful comments, entire communities because I don’t speak their language or just don’t have interest in their content (no OFFENSE to THE PACK you guys ARE SO COOL AND BADASS but that kind of humor doesn’t appeal to me 90% of the time, no offense to sports fans but if I’m not actively playing it, I don’t want to watch it)
But if it’s a power user, it’s really hard to get away from, and you can block them and all 15 of their alts but people still talk about some of them.
So you can prevent them from contacting you, and you can prevent either of you from seeing each other’s posts and comments, but you can’t completely get away from everyone.
I still have a couple shows I enjoy despite the laugh track… Just in general I would prefer not to watch them, and I’m unlikely to give a new show half a chance if it has one.
A blog I followed stopped posting two years ago, and their site is still up but they don’t post anything to any form of social media that I can search.
