Mantis Toboggan Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 My mate has just found out when you go to reset your password at his work, all the button does is change your browser language to Spanish This is annoying me as there's so many questions. Why does it do this? Who made it do that? Why hasn't quite an important thing not been fixed? Did it only happen to him? If it happens to everyone, why is it not the only thing everyone talks about?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking us to interact with human beings at the same time basically doubles our workload. Reminds me of one time when after I'd spent a long while explaining something to one of our more obdurate colleagues, my boss compared the conversation to a cat trying to teach a dog the best way to climb trees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How stupid do they think folk are? "We’re making changes to our UK stores and head office to simplify what we do and how we do it, so we’re better able to meet the needs of our customers. This will impact some of our colleagues and our commitment is to minimise this as much as possible and support our colleagues throughout.” Code; we aren't making enough profit to satisfy our greedy b*****d selves The bolded part just boils my piss. As if they're doing it for some altruistic reason and not just to line their own pockets. When I was laid off, my old company put out a statement to the clients that was in the same spirit. Fortunately, more than a few of their clients called them on it and are leaving for the competitors as their contracts expire. Friends at the old company tell me that "poor service levels" is one of the most quoted reasons for them leaving. Especially infuriating because good service was something my old company used to be known for. Edited January 29, 2019 by Shotgun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not remotely as serious, but when the BBC ripped all the stats out of their results and scores page, ie. each team's last 5 results and the like, they sold it as enhancing the customer experience through streamlining the offer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When university of Strathclyde moved from 10 credit modules to 20, the beaks said it would provide greater flexibility. Jaw-droppingly stupid decision and achieved the complete opposite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so give that marketing department a medal! Anyone who bought the lottery tickets should have boycotted for probably 2 weeks and mysteriously they would have found the odds back to normal, that is to say highly unlikely rather than verging on impossible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Like the morons who always choose 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 and say it has as much chance of winning as any other combination. Which it does, but how many others have picked that who you'll have to share the jackpot with? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise, the more numbers you choose that are 31 or below - the more people you'll probably have to share your prize with - since so many people use birth dates for their numbers. I should sell advice like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
