Respect receptionists. If people aren't calling you back, it's not their fault. They are doing their job and relaying messages. It is not their job duty to hold a gun to their bosses' heads and make them return calls or get stuff done.
On the flip side, if you work with a receptionist, it would make their day go a lot better if you wouldn't bitch every time they try to transfer a call to you. Especially whenever answering phones is only part of what they do. Not only are they sick of hearing you bitch, they have other things to do, so just take the goddamn call!!!
