Phone call from management. My usually very patient colleague answered.
Manager: "We& #39;re looking at the footfall figures for the last couple of weeks and they& #39;re less than half of what they were this time last year. That& #39;s bad Why is that?"

Colleague: "Oh I don& #39;t know, have you ever heard of a fucking thing called COVID?"
Silence.
Manager: "We need you to get the numbers up."
Colleague: "[Manager], you fucking imbecile. What do you want from us? We& #39;re short staffed and there& #39;s a fucking pandemic. IMBECILE!"

Today I learned that every librarian has their breaking point and we& #39;ve found one of them.
He& #39;s walking around saying "Fucking IMBECILES" under his mask.
He just turned to me and said " @grumpwitch, we are dealing with some incredible cretins."
"I& #39;d noticed."
"Headless fucking chickens."
"Yep."
"Absolute morons."
"Pretty much, yeah."

Management: "We& #39;ve had some complaints that people are having to queue for basic services. This is unacceptable."
