So you make a mistake which causes us to take a ton of calls today because it effects your employees’ pay. You say that you will be sending out an e-mail that explains everything. We wait all day for this to happen, in the meantime taking 100980980 calls saying the same thing over and over again while our inboxes flood, making it impossible for us to get any work done. An hour before end of day the e-mail finally comes through. It’s like 3 lines long. It basically says “we’re going to try and get this corrected for you as soon as possible and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
Seriously?! It took you all fucking day to come up with that? If that’s all you were going to send out, you could have done it like 6 hours earlier and saved us, and your employees, you know, those people who come to work every day so that your corporation can profit, a ton of headache. For the amount of time it took you I was expecting something informative, well put together and helpful.
Thanks for letting us know how much of a fuck you really don’t give about us or your employees, their state of mind, and their paychecks, not to mention us, your third party vendor. —I DON’T Work in a Call Centre
This article appears in Jan 5-11, 2012.
Do some damage analysis on this douche. Crunch the numbers on your relationship with them. Because a client who habitually costs you money is a client best sent packing.
Is this a Tommy J Double Header?
12.5 million calls / hour ALL day is nothing to scoff at.
This sounds like a payroll company…
with a shitty system…
and employees that are entirely too good to them or too fearing for their job to really stir the pot.
I wonder if this is a particular place in burnside???
Dat u Tommy?

What client?
OB, ever think to not answer the phone. Or are you one of those phone jockeys working in some pathetic call center and actually think you have a job.
I can’t tell you Mel, confidentiality and all, but you’re no doubt familiar with their brand and their products they make consumer electronics, among other things. They’re actually really great 99% of the time, I just thought their actions yesterday were quite sloppy and inconsiderate.
Our other clients are way worse. I just couldn’t believe they would send such a half assed e-mail, and that it took all day. I could have put that together in 1 minute and saved us from taking all those damn calls.
I wanna know what Seb does for a living.
I was hoping for this Tommy

You almost got it right!
it’s obviously not related to reading and comprehension…
“I don’t work in a call center” != “are you one of those phone jockeys working in some pathetic call center”
Seb’s a little pre-occupied lately. Next month he under-studies (heh heh) for Nathan Lane in “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Foreskin”
*lesigh*
hah! You read my mind Mel! That’s what I WANTED to ask you but, ya know.. can’t give these gossipin bitchers too much fodder 😉
Tommy, there should be something in the contract for shit like this. When I worked at an ad agency, there was a ‘change fee’ to protect the creatives from capricious client changes. It was amazing how the changes flatlined after that!
La cage aux folles is playing at Neptune… it was adapted into the movie ‘The Birdcage’ ….
starring Nathan Lane…
who has/d foreskin.
coincidence?
or conspiracy?

Completely off topic… but can someone sell me a Wii???? I can’t get one anywhere!!
It was a french movie in the 80’s. Not sure if it began life as a play or not.
And according to Bubbles, Steve French had a big package, but he was a cougar…and Seb is on the prowl for young men, so technically he qualifies as a cougar as well…
it was the duct tape leash that caught my attention…
purplefire… I’d hold off as long as possible… people will be selling them in droves when it gets close to WiiU release date.
what the hell do you want one for?
what has, all of a sudden, caught your attention that you simply MUST go out and get one?
My little cousin got the Michael Jackson Wii game for Christmas… most fun EVER!! I need to practice so I can kick her ass! I killed “Black or White”
Birdcage great line: I need my PIRIN! Where is my PIRIN?
it was originally a french play from 1973 and then a french/italian movie in 1978. i prefer that movie over the robin williams one
Merci Painey. Knowledge is Good.
French movies and french humor in general is hard to translate. There’s been a couple of attempts to make successful french films into American ones and they’re usually epic fails. Three Men and a Baby may or may not be an exception depending on who you talk to.
it was just a fail, too cheesy. the original was grittier
just youtube the videos to practice so you know the moves…
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT it’s worth buying a 100 piece of kit and the game just to practice to beat an 8 year old at shitty fake dancing.
I saw people playing that just dance 3…
and aside from the rediculous ‘dancing’ movements… it was all one hand. you didn’t have to do that crap at all…. just move the one hand in the right direction.
sooooooo stooooopid.
I agree with you both, Painey and Tommy, the original was better and it is hard to translate french humor (try saying ‘Il est temps de frapper la rue’ to a Frenchman when you gtg. Go on, try it. They just don’t get it. But to quote Aesop ‘what do you expect from a nation that thinks Jerry Lewis is a comic genius?’
she was having fun with her younger cousin zedman, after traveling to nfld. that’s mean
What else do you expect from a miserable prick, breadlady, other than misery and prickery?
Zed being a loser shouldn’t be a shock to anyone ’round these parts.
shit like this hapens al the time o.o., and bitching here, won’t change it one bit either.
It would appear that had it not been for my two bitches today we would have just had one, very short one that’s been rehashed many times. No offense to to whoever wrote the bus shelter bitch.
You’re welcome;)
wow, most payroll services are so large that they would levy a surcharge on any customer that behaves that way.
“My little cousin got the Michael Jackson Wii game for Christmas… most fun EVER!! I need to practice so I can kick her ass!” LOL. Got an Xbox on Tue on sale … I have been on it endlessly.
I have to play on the tv in the family room & quote my mother: “I think I’ve seen you these past 2 days more than I see you in a yr!” Yeah, I feel like that guy on The Simpsons http://www.sync-blog.com/wp-content/upload…
In other news, this has exceeded my 1 a day TJ bitch limit. I’m going to post a generic fortune cookie quote and hope it is sufficient: “All the water in the world can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside.”

Should have forwarded all those calls to the clown with the generic e-mail. Nice that he took ownership of the error so well.
