Dan says Customer Care have failed?
I’m guessing the VEC isn’t the answer to everything then. HCL appears to have been a disastrous strategic move, or at least very poorly executed. It just feels like that whole area needs to be completely changed around so it finally puts the customer... — read more
Is there any company in history that has boosted its stock price, maintained a significant dividend and aggressively cut costs at the same time?
