      Given I'm the lucky one that gets to make the direct customer contact, I'm also the one blamed for the delayed responses.

      advice?

            This is the opposite of how I would deal with it
            Somehow...I'm not surprised by this news.

                This thread would have been a lot funnier had no one responded.

                    In my later days in the corporate world, "halfway reasonable people" was a rara avis indeed. When I left that last corporate position, the feeling of "Thank God I don't have to deal with these people anymore" far outweighed the financial drain of the subsequent months of unemployment.

                            Score one for nully. That was one of the ideas suggested to me when I left my last corporate job, but I knew the SOB would take his anger out on my former staff. Plus I was chicken.
