Call phone company called 'Securus' (based out of Texas) that handles all inmate collect calls. Have a technical question regarding changing service from AT&T to Comcast and whether this will affect inmates being able to call our office collect.
It is impossible to talk to a live person now. Instead, the automated response is set up to do everything (including create new accounts) This means I spend 20 fucking minutes trying to navigate through it all to realize the asshole robot can't answer my question. So I try their 'live' chat room option. Takes another 30 minutes talking to some [probably nice guy in India who is fucking clueless] to discover he can't answer my question at all.
Almost an hour down the drain, for fuck all.
Can't help but think about what a mtf it is for our economy: not only does it slow business down as customers (like me) are forced to wade through this bullshit, but what about the jobs that are going directly overseas now to save corporation's money.
The corporate system is a consuming beast that doesn't give a shit. CEO cuts costs -> Shareholders see more $ for themselves -> CEO's award themselves huge salaries via the Board of Directors, shareholders don't protest because their stock went up half a buck. And it's gonna continue et al until we heel to our Chinese overlords.
And yes, today, it angers me more than usual.
FUCK Corporations!!!!
Cliffs: I'm pissed off.
