I have been in the queue for 30 minutes to talk to HR for the company that is acquiring us.
They have one hold music song.
It's so blaringly loud on speakerphone that I have put the phone in a drawer.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

After 40 minutes they picked up and immediately disconnected me.

Our wings are not tired.
Good luck with the SS bureaucracy, Todd. I'll be doing that next February! Woot!

Why Oh Why! The multitasker in me does not know the reason for hold music, or worse yet the repeated messages about how important I am.

Geez that does not bode well Dana!
Pride was this weekend, and while I did way less partying than in years past, I’m still tired and achy like in years past. Darn passage of time!

I figure if I'm important to them, why don't they have a human to answer the phone.

The second wait was less than 10 minutes, fortunately. Then the issue took a while to resolve, but at least there was different hold music.

The new overlords prohibit harassment based on gender, sexual orientation, gender expression, and gender identity. I realize it's a bare minimum, but I'll take it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Do they specify what harassment they do permit?

There was not a section in the employee handbook about permitted harassment. Presumably due to legal advice.

Perhaps it's permissible to harass everyone working directly for you as long as it's everyone.
