Remember when people ran from Sprint’s horrible customer svc to Cingular’s awesome service? Remember when Customer Svc and Sales were 2 separate departments? I remember enjoying talking to DTV reps before the acquisition ruined it all.

Just asking.

Do you think we'll have layoffs soon? What's your estimate of the current situation?

I think the reputation, and for a good reason too, has never been worse. It is sad that leadership does not seem to be aware of the risk of a bad reputation. Or perhaps they don’t attach much importance to it at all?

Somehow the hardest part of my job is communicating with a manager who doesn’t know my job at all. This of course does not stop him from acting as if he knows the job better than me, even though I have more than 15 years of experience. How do you... — read more
