| - Rude employees!! Returned to our apartment complex to find an "aardvark movers" truck/trailer blocking our assigned parking space. The driver had parked directly in front of the car ports, blocking in several vehicles. Who does that?
After approaching the crew to let them know that they were blocking my parking space, a Spanish speaking only individual gave me a frustrated//confused look and motioned for his coworker, who spoke broken English to deal with me.
A guy who seemed to be in charge of the move walked over and I informed him that they were blocking my parking space. The individual began to hesitate and give some vague explanation as to why that was his ideal choice in parking his truck/trailer. I explained the rules that moving vehicles are not allowed to block vehicles. I also suggested that they park away from the residents vehicles and began to explain the safety concern of residents who may have to leave in a time sensitive manner, or an emergency situation. Not to mention that it is common sense to not block in peoples vehicles for extended periods of time. The guy became argumentative and insisted that he was going to park there and then stop working and move the truck/trailer every time a resident needed to arrive/leave from their parking space. The guy began to escalate and his behavior became even ruder and ruder as the conversation proceeded. I tried again to tell him that "people need to be able to leave" and his reply was "who, you". This guy apparently has no sense of professionalism, customer service skills, or regard for the company's reputation.
After realizing that there was no convincing this guy and that we were not going to reach an agreement (and to prevent any further arguments) I was left with no choice but to involve the property management and security
After security contacted them and cleared, I had to leave again to run an errand only to find they were still blocking me in. I informed the driver of the truck/trailer that I needed to leave to run an errand and would be returning shortly. The crew moved the truck without issue, but when I returned home I exited my vehicle and began to walk to my apartment when one employee was walking past me appeared angry. As I was walking past him, the individual began to glare, or stare at me in a hostile manner perhaps in efforts to intimidate, or to provoke an argument or altercation, as I continued past him and went inside. Very unprofessional.
My advice: Be Intellectually Honest -If you do lose your temper at work at some point, the professional thing to do is apologize and walk back the situation to a point where less-heated conversation can happen. Professionals aren't afraid to take responsibility and admit when they're wrong before a situation gets out of hand, and colleagues will respect you for it. Be a positive example to those looking up to you. Similarly, you shouldn't be afraid to admit you don't have all the answers by saying "I don't know," or by asking questions. True professionals are always eager to learn new things, and get a better understanding of what's expected of them. You would get a better response from people in general, i.e. people skills. A professional attitude can have its own benefits. When you go the extra mile with being more professional at work, you open up new opportunities.
