Wasting my time...

Yeah so I get this customer trying to migrate online, fails and calls us to do the migration through us. I am all crap because he will probably want a free phone from online. Good news is the phone is the Nokia 6620 with mail-in-rebate, same price migration tool is offering, YEAH!!! 😁

Get the credit card screen (after 28 minutes of going through information) only to have some problem with the card. I ended up telling the customer to go to a store for a migration.

Dammit 2 services worth of points GONE!!! đŸ˜ĸ

One For The Day

"Drinking, dancing, sex, playing the fiddle, gambling, idleness: These are biological pleasures. Early Puritan morals were largely a suppression of biological quality. In the Metaphysics of Quality the old Puritan dogma is gone but its practical moral pronouncements are explained in a way that makes sense"

A tough one, this is!

Author? Title? Who can guess, and bask in the infinite glory that is praise, offered by none other than an anonymous employee?

Drunk Funkin' Phone Calls

Hey everyone, lets go get real "knock down and brawlin' drunk" and protest in front of a Cingular Wireless store location. In fact lets make the only clerk there leave because they fear for their lives. And then lets get normal cust. in the store location angry by ranting on the phone to their cust. care agents. Not only that but as we are doing all this lets pretend that this is an entirely adult and sane way to handle a broken phone that is out of warranty.

That's what my last cust. conceived today as a itenierary for having his Rim device replaced.

What kind of grown adult business person thinks acting like this is professional as well as a good way to resolve a bad situation with equip.

What's happening to people these days...I ...

Look at me!

"'The motor car went Poop-poop-poop,
As it Raced along the road.
Who was it steered it into a pond?
Ingenious Mr. Toad!'"

Whoever can tell me the authour of this silly verse, and the book in which it appears, I will give to them another verse to guess at!

And GO!

NEW TOPIC

It is ridiculously dead here, I'm not sure about where everybody else is, but lets start talking about something interesting.......

Take you pick. I've got rap music, old people, drinking stories, outrunning police stories, the war in Iraq, Canadian health care system, the difference between metric and whatever system Americans have, Coke, or Pepsi?, favorite foods, Sesame street songs you can remember and ridiculous fashion trends.............

So, somebody respond already.

Oh, i guess you could also talk about phones, or your job and how much it sucks!

Those things on blue accounts we are not supposed to mention. (promo)

Hey

Currently on the ATT side, I am aware that a lot of customers have stacked promotions on their accounts, and that we are supposed to remove ineligable/stacked promotions.

But how are we supposed to check if a promotion is eligible or stacked?

I think stacked refers to multiple promotions of the same type, like two seperate additional minute promotions, but does anyone know how to check, or go about this?

And please, don't reference primus. After moving access over to SOFA, I have not been able to access it at all, no SOFA ID. (and my team leader is no help at ALL on getting me my password)

Can you read? Speak English? Or Spanish? Or at all?

I am beginning to wonder if any of these calls centres have any prerequisites in order to obtain employment.

I realize that this topic is overdone and has probably been beaten to death but I am frustrated and need to vent.

Can someone please explain to me how it possibly benefit mostly English or Spanish speaking customers to have representatives that do not speaking or understand most of the English (or Spanish) language. I don't care if you only have to pay them pennies on the dollar. I am absolutely convinced that the problems and anger they create cost the company a lot more in the long run.

Can you also explain how there can not be any sort of requirement to know how to read. I had an SST rep call me and ask me to opt out ...

FREE PROZAC! READ THIS! THIS COMPANY IS BIPOLAR!

I've finally came to an ultimate conclussion about why left brain and right brain in cingular haven't been speaking lately. They don't know each other.
The company has more split personalities than your local loony bin(the company should be called Sybilwireless). Spur of the moment ideas that deflate like your birthday balloons and sudden policy changes in real time.
I say we all pitch in and buy the company at least a year's supply of Prozac or maybe some Lithium.
Maybe then instead of riding the training class rollercoaster or the "you've been upgraded to" while working a position they'll leave the good reps. where they have doing what they do best.
You all know what I do best...saying "no" is my life...pathetic as that may be I'm a pr...

Current thought processes.

Why is it that customers feel that they need to yell at me to get what they want?

I just got a call from a customer who was in one of our stores. She has EWL which carries a $5 shipping fee. We, in warranty, are not permitted to waive this insurance fee for any reason.

When the rep got me on the line, the customer launched into this whole song and dance that she was told by tech support that we would ship her out a phone at no charge. I told her that unfortunately, the advanced exchange service carries a shipping charge.

After I told her this and gave her all of her options, she yelled that she will NOT pay this fee and that her $5.00 a month guaranteed that her phone would be exchanged for no charge. I told her that CEC would ...

ATTENTION all Orange reps

First of all, this is not meant to be a battle, but it needs to be said.

I have received calls from "O" (Orange) reps with Blue accts that haven't even bothered to ask the customer's name. Just a suggestion, have some common sense, ask the flippin name. Put yourself in their shoes, would you want to be asked all these questions to find out that they need to be xfered? Come to the Blue side and have to repeat everything ALL over again? I know that I wouldn't!

When you call to the Blue side, ya'll need to have some respect toward us. We are NOT the enemy ya know. We are customer care reps just like yourselves. Some of ya have no manners and demand our ID's but won't give theirs...mmmm wonder why? I know why. FEEDBACK ON YOUR ASSES...
