I Like Nextel! He's one of a kind! He's allowed to voice his opinion, and no one should take it to heart ( Don't be ridiculous!) This is a public forum, and people can say whatever they like. So why don't you all just lay off a little, and don't be so sensitive! Besides he has a point to most conversations, and I agree with him somewhat!
...
I dont even like you as much now. π
...
Well that opinon is better suited for the Nextel forum. All this jibberjabber about us v. them just prevents really questions from real customer being answered by real reps.
...
yay, i have a supporter. thank you for your kind words. i appreciate it. π
...
Your wlecome! Its kinda funny how offended people can get over a company they honestly probably do not like that much anyways! Unless your grandpa is like the CEO calm down! Relax, its not like your insulting their family!!!
...
i know. i mean it is not my fault that all the information i post hurts their company that they work at. then they say excuses. they say sprint and nextel are bad, and i back it up then they bash me, harrass me, and insult me.
i just dont get it.
...
What you should get is that when you rip on people's "livelyhood" (Meaning the company that supports their families) people tend to get pissed. As for bashing on you if you came across less ignorant then i don't think that the majority of us on here would be so offended by you.
...
Nicely put Jackie. π
...
I'm sorry if I offended you, I just don't think its that big of a deal! Okay he does not like cingular or their service! Big suprise. Welcome to the world of about 80% of cingular customers! I just don't think people should take it so personally! Its not like because of what nextel says cingular is going to pay you less. Or provide less support for your family. I just think maybe he has a point and someone should try and do something about this. This is not something new! If cingular keeps this up they are not going to keep customers, and we are not going to keep our jobs. So less focus on a little dispute in some silly forum, and more on the big picture, and doing your job to the best of your ability. π

Good point. I mean I dont like Cingular either. In my opinion they have made MY working environment a lot worse and haven't paid me any better for it. But, like I said before, I think its different for Cingular Blue reps, especailly the ones at Convergys, because it makes it really hard to do anythign about anything, and the 2 companies together are horrible (the turnover rate here is ridiculously high - like 80% of people quit before 3 months). Nextell says incorrect things though, and spouts them off as facts not opinions. He is really, really annoying.
...
What we take personally is the personal attacks that he makes on us and our lives. If he kept the conversation professional and respected everyone's right to have their own opinion (even if it differs from his) we would not have an issue. But when the attacks become personal, that is when the problem starts.
...
you started first with the name calling and personal attacks. (same with muchdrama)
...
1. people insult me first then i attack back.
2. cingular isnt their family.
3. i own bell south and sbc shares which means i own the company. (so shouldnt i be on your guys sides? of course becuase i basically own att wireless/cingular and care for its well being)
4. i state facts and sound opinions
5. you guys bash me for no reason.
6. you shouldnt be offended by facts.
7. its a forum.
8. less ignorant? how? by not posting links and facts about cingular/att wireless?
come on.
...
She didn't say Cingular WAS the family, she said Cingular SUPPORTS the families...read it before you try to correct someone.
...
no i am saying that cingular isnt her family, she shouldnt care so much about what people say about her. you need to read what i say also. plus if cingular supports her family, then thats good, she shouldnt care of what others say about her company as long as her job is secure.
...
My job is secure because I do my job well... I don't need everyone in the world to agree with my opinions of the company, but I don't need you coming in here bashing it every chance you get.
...
well i am allowed too. i own shares, and i want to know why you guys, the company, isnt doing that well and why so many complaints, high churn, ok arpu, ok other metrics, and a terrible buyout of att wireless.
...
Just because you're allowed to, doesn't mean you have to do it in a manner that so obviously offends people.
...
how does it offend people? i say the company is bad. how is that bad? people attack me then i attack back.
...
Come on, are you that stupid? I say the company is bad too, you dont see people jumping down my throat or the Aunty's either.
...
oo name calling now? dont get testy.
i just like analyzing the company becuase i own the company's shares, which means i own the company. i want others to discuss about it in a civil manner.
...
Fine. I do too, but I dont like the whole superior attitude that you have. Its like you think you're better than the rest of us, because, OOOHHHH, you have connections and you're a "shareholder." I dont care, niether does anybody else, and if you acted like a normal person and little more down to earth people wouldn't attack you so much.
...
no people would attack me regardless. just becuase i attack the company, THAT I OWN, doesnt have a right for them to attack back at me.
...
why aren't you LISTENING. I attack the company too, nobody hates me. They hate you; why dont you just start acting like a better person? Why dont you take some of what everybody is saying to heart and stop being a jerk??
...
well becuase they are immature it looks like. i am acting like a perfect person. i take people what they say to heart but if they say something that is false and facts back up my opinion then theirs i will go with the facts. sorry. its about facts and figures.
...
Life isn't always about just facts and figures. And yes, this isn't a forum about life, but honestly, just be less freakin' superior and "perfect" and people would respect what you have to say a lot more. And thats what you want, right?
...
i am perfect, becuase i go by facts and figures and other analysis.
i dont care if people respect what i say or not, atleast they shouldnt be immature.
and life is all about facts and figures. what is money? what is debt? facts and figures. etc...
...
Some of us look at life as more than money...
...
unfort. if you have debt, you would have a miserable life. with business its all about money, and profits. that is bus 101. revenue- expenses= net income or net loss. if you dont have any net income or cash and debt, you wil go chapter 11.
its all about money my friend.
...
NOt my life... I don't play the game where money is more important than everything else in my life... My husband comes first and when we have ourl ittle one that will come right up there with him... I do not believe that I need to be rich to be happy...
...
You don't. At all. Hey Nextell, heres a fact: above poverty line rich people have the same happiness levels as poor people. And I think that everybody rises above the whole money thing at some point in their life - whether they are 80 or 8. Thats probably why Nextel here is sitting alone in his basement right now.
...
no, i just dont chose to go out my friend. plus its only 10pm, i could go out at 11pm or 12am like i usually do. its in my room, not basement.
...
money is first. without money your not attractive. (not you. in general) without money you have no prospects. without money your nothing.
if your husband was first and important you should go see him now instead of talking to me.
...
Some people have to work, you idiot.
And MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS!!!! Grow the f*ck up.
...
i feel bad for those people who work. ooo name calling, nice.
money can buy happiness. ooo swearing. very mature π
can i be like you?
oh by the way you wanted to get the nights and weekends, just to let you know since you cant afford the 7 bucks per month, i am offering a loan for you.

Good way to gain respect. Insult people. I can afford absolutely anything I want. But that doesn't make me happy. My fiancee and family makes me happy.
...
insulting? what was an insult.
...
You really are an idiot. I even have to point out your insults to you.
You insulted me by saying that I can't afford the 7 dollars a month. That is an insult and it is slander.
...
hahahahah. and look at your insults... you did many threads about it, as well as saying the last many many times insults..
look you just said one now. lol.. hahhahah.
...
I only insult when I was previously attacked. Which you do quite often. Lets recap:
1. Attacks on my fiancee
2. Calling me immature
3. Calling me a liar
4. Calling me poor
I can go on forever.
...
1. never called that
2. you are
3. you are
4. you are.
by the way you have called me names too.
you are a child, my friend.
you started it nanananananannana.

Well know that I hit my goals every month and I am one of those people help keep you share value up.
...
Jackie, im leaving hun I'll talk to you tomorrow. Don't let him get to you so much. He isn't worth it. I know care reps that have shares and stocks etc. and like you said anyone can have ties with the company. Try to have a good night and call me if you want.
...
so good job. if you do well, then thats good. if you dont, then work harder to do better. its that simple. i want to see improvment with this company. so far in 2005 and end of 2004 it hasnt.
...
WHY NOT!!!!! WHAT HARM DOES IT DO!!!! Listen I work for cingular! I have bills to pay,I do not like cingular, and I feel it is nobodys place to judge someone through a forum. BASED ON THEIR OPINIONS!!!! I have nothing nice to say to anyone about cingular, or any other wireless company for that matter! But come on, don't take it so personally! I am not judging you, or making you feel stupid, because I do not agree with your opinion! I bash the company from first hand experience, so let others do the same. WE are not trying to offend you!!!! This is the point of a forum.
...
Thats just it, YOU don't bash the people here NEXTEL DOES. Constantly. And no its not all in self defense because he has offended me and many others who just sit back and read.
...
also the point of a forum is to have a conversation about the problems, competition, numbers, metrics, quart numbers, etc.. about the carrier. thats what i am doing.
...
The difference between most people and nextel is that most people do not make personal attacks. He does. That is why everyone jumps on him.
You and ihatecingular bash Cingular. But we can accept that because you do it in a professional manner. You do not personally attack any of us like nextel does.
...
you attacked me first, my friend.
...
i dont need to dream, my friend. its true.
...
You never said anything about Cingular not being her family so she shouldn't care so much about what people say about her. you sated
2.cingular isnt their family
which is in reply to her stating that Cingular supports their families. I read it, you just have no clue what your talking about.
...
1. You come in here like you own the place, and you act as if anything that you say is the end all be of everything and nothing that enyone else says could ever be right.
2. As for Cingular being my family, I consider the fact that I work 50-60 hours a week and spend more time with my co-workers than I do my husband, I find that I feel "Cingular" is my family in some ways.
3. So do I, but that does not mean that I am going to come on here and rip on any and every employee that comes on here hoping to help the people that ask for it.
4. You state things that you find online and are shown as "facts". If I showed you something online that told you that the sky was green would that make it true? No, because you have looked at the sky and...
(continues)
...
1. facts are facts. they go over opinions or personal experiences.
2. if cingular supports your family, then good, dont take so offensive when people say and have bad things about your company.
3. this is a forum so stay mature and who cares what people say about the company.
4. of course cingular is your family, you work for them and spend your time and hard work there.
5. i wasnt saying that you people (on here) are bad csrs.
6. facts rule everything!
7. i actually have questions becuase i own sbc and bell south shares so i was just asking and giving infomration to see what you have to say, not being immature and name calling.

1. its about what those quarter numbers, metrics, analysts, fcc numbers, and other facts say.
2. but if your working hard, why would you care what i say about the company? it doesnt really affect you especially since you say your are doing a great job at your work
3. same with 2.
4. that other person said it was, so i was sort of agreeing with that person. it is her family in an indirect way and not really in a direct way. thats what i was saying.
5. not first.
6. read 1.
7. " If you cared you would post good as well as bad then." very interesting.
...
I don't mind someone critiquing a carrier, even if it is one I represent. What gets to people is when the information being posted is inaccurate or just plain worthless.
As adults we were supposed to give up the "I know you are but what am I" retort back in the 1st grade. This is a DISCUSSION board, not a child care drop off location.

Hey, genius. That's Exactly what it's like.
You ARE insulting our friends, family, and colleagues.
You need to choose your friends better.
...
Ive said it once ill say it again, it has nothing to do with his opinions on Cingular he is entitled to them. He has put all CSRs in a certain category and offhandedly insulted almost all of us here. I never insulted him and I have no intention of it. He is wrong with many things he says but thats ok, they are opinions. He refuses to accept anyone else's opinions or experiences. So therefore he is as bad if not worse than anyone else on this forum. I could care less if he goes or leaves. Im not gonna argue with him. Or you any longer. I am not against you nor am I trying to be a bitch, but I can honestly understand why people hate him.
...
wrong with many things? like what? i listen to others, but they dont have any facts or evidence to back it up....
...
Facts and evidence that you find online is only worth so much... Personal experience speaks much louder than anything that you would find on here.
...
its worth a lot
1. coming from the fcc
2. coming from earnings releases
3. coming from 10k's.
4. coming from conference calls.
5. coming from articles.
a lot of credibility.
by the way i had cingular and att wireless so that means i had personal experience too. my friends had them too. so i had and they had experiences too.
facts and evidence shows everything.
...
I was not stating your "opinions" I said you don't listen to anyone else's and you call them liars when they talk about personal experience, read your past posts you will see them!
...
i listen to many people, cept if my facts back my claims instead of theirs. facts are more important then individual experiences.
...
Okay so how are your experiences always right and everyone elses is always wrong. Facts can only be proven in science... You can't prove that your Nextel works as well as my Cingular in my area because you aren't here... And as for complaints and all that through the FCC I feel that a good amount of them came in before the merger and I find that unfair for Cingular to take the blame for things that were never done under our name.
...
1. its about nationwide
2. its about facts.
3. its about what analyts say.
4. fcc reports= cingular/att wireless had problems together with the merger, previously before the merger, AND AS SEPERATE ENTITIES.
5. stop having more excuses.
...
Excuses?
1. The sky is blue... That is a fact but to someone who is color blind they may see the sky as purple... Are they wrong Meaning that facts are only good when they can be backed up. Until you can figure out a way to travel back in time and prove people wrong on their personal experience, their personal experience will always speak louder than what is written on a page.
2. Analysts also predict many things that don't happen either... They can analyze things, but then reality kicks in and it can change.
3. Okay we understand that... We are trying to change that... But if you think that Cingular and AT&T had a problem integrating the same system just imagine a merger of two completely different technologies?
4. I will have a r...
(continues)
...
1. very stupid. facts are facts.
2. analysts and others are most likely on the money.
3. yea. but they dont have great managers to plan things effectively. nextel/sprint managers are excellent and they have the best CTO's in the land.
4. ok.
...
How do you prove your so call facts?
No analysts can be wrong.... And they can be right... Because Cingular's analysts said this would work.
That is an opinion
Keep on coming with it then
...
by facts with the fcc reports, the churn levels, other metrics, and plus the problems with the outages.
oh yea, the merger is great.
i dont care too much about what the execs say too much, becuase they have been wrong so far.
