Uncivilservant
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: un siv ill ser vant
Sentence: Rudi was aptly named. She was employed by the Dept. of Political Correctness and Fair Treatment.

The irony was that she had more Employee of the Month and Outstanding Customer Service Awards than anyone else in her department. Can you imagine what the rest of them were like???
Etymology: Uncivil (lacking civility or good manners) & Civil Servant (a public official who is a member of the civil service)

Phonewitch
Created by: arrrteest
Pronunciation: phōn-wich
Sentence: Becky was an angry employee. She worked late nights at a call center with a hundred other telephone customer service representatives. It was not a job that suited her, for she was a phonewitch extraordinaire. Bitter about life in general, she took it out on the random caller who happened upon her. Sometimes she would answer, "Please hold while I finish filing my nails," or "Sorry, but we've reached our quota on stupid calls." Other times she would mumble unintelligently until the customer would hang up. When she was feeling particularly good, she would instigate arguments until the customer asked for the manager, at which she would put them on hold for a while and then get back on and pretend she was the manager.
Etymology: phone + witch : also, phonebitch
