Fuctifano Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I've had no sense of taste and next to no sense of smell for about 36 hours now. Cooking just seems pointless so I'm existing on fruit, soup, and Indomie noodles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 My computer is absolutely goosed. 32 viruses has knackered it. It's quite old and i have a laptop but its still annoying as i kept all my music and games ect on it and my BT broadband is pish for some reason so i dont always get a great internet connection. I was just about to install Kaspersky Anti-virus as well . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extraordinAYRy Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Folk that insist on driving in the middle or outside lanes all the time, and aren't even doing the speed limit. And even worse when you finally flash them and they still don't move so you undertake them and they look at you as if you're the one that's the idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutton01 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 What did you do? I work for HSBC Insurance and part of the criteria for travel insurance is that you must be a full UK resident, registered to a UK doctor etc Basically some foriegn boy called for an insurance quote, i went through these criteria and he didnt meet them so i said sorry we cant give you cover And he went mental, saying i only asked because of his accent and said i wouldnt give him cover as he was an immigrant went on with this rant for 5/10 minutes calling me racist etc then hung up and a half hour later my manager grabbed me saying i had a complaint against me on grounds of racial intolerance they listened to call and my manager has told me off the record there was nothing i did wrong but as this guy persisted in making an official complaint, i need to get diversity training, and have my discussions with customers monitered in cause i breach the rules in my office about racism. and although my managers know i did nothing wrong, due to the nature of the complaint etc, it all has to be done and will be noted on my staff file so next job i apply for, this can be mentioned in any reference from my boss Dont mind that he took the huff at me. im used to it and have been called every name under the sun at work by customers its more the fact that it looks like it may have a serious influence on my future at this company and potentially others that has me angry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have truly done NOTHING wrong then they have absolutely no right whatsoever to put a black mark against you like that.

I remember coming back from England once, on a three lane Motorway, where the inside lane was totally empty and there was two rows of cars on the other two lanes. Eventually, I thought 'fúck it' and undertook them. All 27 of them. The thing is, I'm the one who would have been done for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this chunt have preferred to go through the whole application process just to be told at the end he wasn't eligible? That would be a waste of everyone's time. Stories like this annoy me, not so much with the person who's making the complaint, he's just a wánker after all, but it's the way companies react to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not long off the phone with my manager who says she will have a word with the HR people to get it wiped as all i did wasfollow criteria My boss is a good manager and says only reason its possible gonna be there is due to their own rules and regs but if they look at my situation individually they will see it aint justified Just gotta wait a few days now to find out for certain whats gonna happen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get it sorted out. You'd think your boss or whoever spoke to him could have just said, sorry you haven't met the criteria rather than pandering to him.

If the call was listened to and there was no substance to the complaint no action would be taken. I'm sure HSBC management are tossers and don't understand their own rules and those in relation to discrimination. That said there is no smoke without fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
