\"The<\/a>

Incompetent. . . can you say that?<\/p><\/div>\n

Is it me?<\/p>\n

I’m at the bank. My dad is with me. I want to be added as a legal signature to my dad’s trust account. We have a copy of the trust. We have the first and the second amendments of the trust. (Hey, people die.)<\/p>\n

We both have two forms of ID. We have\u00a0a notarized power of attorney\u00a0for\u00a0me over the trust. We have a reappraisal of the house, and my mom’s death certificate.<\/p>\n

Four hours later, they can’t actually confirm that I have been added as a valid signature to the trust checking account. For heaven’s sake, I just want to be able to pay the heating bill if my dad can’t write a check.<\/p>\n

Four days later, they are still checking the validity of the power of attorney. Seriously?<\/p>\n

There\u00a0isn’t one\u00a0legal document they have asked for that\u00a0we didn’t provide. We are related. We are citizens. We both have had accounts at that bank for 30 years. I can’t imagine how difficult this would be if one of us was from another country, if we were unrelated, or if we were, God forbid, unprepared.<\/p>\n

\"Pulling<\/a>

Plant me!<\/p><\/div>\n

Exactly<\/p>\n

what do<\/p>\n

they think<\/p>\n

we are trying<\/p>\n

to pull?<\/p>\n

Incompetence has an attitude. It says: “Don’t ask questions. Don’t expect results. It’s not my fault. I just work here, sort of.”<\/p>\n

\"No<\/a>

Are you questioning my authority?<\/p><\/div>\n

Guess what? No one is believing your act. If you divide the world into learners and non-learners, I am running into all the non-learners. Some have college degrees. Some were raised by wolves. Some are too poor to pay attention. Some are too entitled to care.<\/p>\n

Just do your damn job. Better yet, go get a job you can do. Ar-r-r-gh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
