Have you nothing better to do other then waste your employers time by having pointless discussions on this site?
You complain about how bad your employer is but you don't do anything about it.
If you don't like your job, quit and move on. Save us consumers time and money.
Did your employer force you to work for them? Every minute that you spend on this forum is one more minute that I as a consumer have to wait for you to answer my call. Some of you may think that when I call for help it's a waste of your time. How easy you forget that if it wasn't for your customers, you wouldn't exist. Do you really think that if customers didn't call you that you would have a job?

Sincerely,
Your Customer.

Not being employed by AT&T but still a wireless employee I would to rebut this comment...99 times out of 100 when someone posts onto any of these forums, it is in fact to help other consumers like yourself, also this is done either on the reps own time or in between calls, as to not effect those who do call in and need assistance...there is this little thing called work avoidance where if a rep is sitting around doing nothing but posting to this forum they can get fired...for you to say "no Don't help other people only help me" to me at least is a little self rightous of yourself don't you think?

SlackerPatrol -
First off, not all of us work in call centers. Secondly, many of us use these forums in our off time. Third, many of us have invested countless hours educating ourselves about the wireless industry as a whole, and come here to exchange ideas and information that, had you taken the time to actually READ a few threads, you would realize actually BENEFIT customers and potential customers alike. Sure, we have our flame wars (that's the nature of competition), and we have a little fun, but we also provide a service we are NOT paid to provide in the interest of helping people like yourself make an INFORMED buying decision.

I have to put my two cents in here.

Many of these people in this forum, have been very helpful in helping me answer Your questions (CUSTOMERS). Many customers come up with questions that we as customer care representatives don't know, and even these questions stump our supervisors and resolutions specialists.

I for one only post on breaks (as I am doing now). 15 minute break! Then I only post if it is really really really slow, usually between 9pm and 12:00am MST. If I'm lucky, lately it's been busy right up until I get off, less posting on PS for me, which is no water off my back as I have a computer at home, with an internet connection so that I can take 5 measley minutes out of my day to enjoy the company of intelligent and like min...
