Title: At least we aren’t Mississippi
Post by: Kaos on January 11, 2022, 06:48:39 AM
Government is inefficient.  Mississippi reaches new heights.

I had a temp employee who lived in Biloxi.  Hasn’t worked for me since 2019.  I keep getting calls from them about “termination of registration for my company.”

The voicemail goes “this is shalonda with MDES. It is important that you call me at this number as soon as possible regarding termination of registration for blah blah blah”.

This is how that goes.

Me: *Calls the number*. “I need to speak with shalonda please.”

I don’t see nobody by that name.  Do you know the last name. 

Me: No. she didn’t give a last name. 

“Oh. We ain’t allowed to give out last names.”’

Me: then why would you ask me for something I wouldn’t have any way of knowing?

“What department she’s in?”

Me: She said MDES and referenced termination of registration.

“What is this regarding?”

Me: I just gave you the entirety of what I know.  That was the whole message. 

“We don’t have no sholanda as I can see.  I don’t know how you speck me to get you to the right department if you don’t know no more than that.”

Me: I don’t know how you expect me to magically know more than what I was told in the voicemail. 

“I guess you can just wait and see if she call back.”

30 minutes later.  I’m in a meeting. Phone rings.  Same Mississippi number.  I can’t answer. 

Voicemail: “this is sholanda with MDES. It is important that I speak with your today at this number……”

Literally five minutes later I call back. 

“We don’t have no sholanda as I can see.  Ain’t no point in going through all this again if you don’t have no more information.”

State government in the south consists of a specific type of personality. That’s why it wreaks of inefficiency.
