On hold for one hour and 20mins and counting

On hold for one hour and 20mins and counting. Fuck you Globelines!

I have experienced customer service hell with Globelines!

Good Lord! 

I’m currently waiting for a supervisor. Brian Berroy ~ who I have been told by the tech that I am currently speaking to: Lex Juanilo that the supervisor is busy taking other calls. That phrase, I have heard before. And frankly, gasgas na. I’ve been on hold for more than a 30 minutes. It seems that everytime I talk to Globelines for whatever issues I have, I seem to be talking to a bunch of idiots. 

And the only thing that I can seem to do is shake my head. I mean, DAMN! What does a person have to do to get good service nowadays?! 

I have always prided myself in providing the best customer service that I can as I am working on the same industry. And fool that I am, I have set my expectations in getting the same kind of service I provide when I call any customer service hotline. But this one really takes the cake! 

I have been experiencing intermittent browsing issues. I have isolated the issue and done all the necessary troubleshooting steps, tech support that I am. And now, I am asking Globelines to fix the issue. And you know what they did? They filed a job number for me: 5136883. They said that their onsite team will come by at the time that I specify. Which was yesterday. And the onsite team came to the wrong house as per the person who called! They had the impertinence of asking if I left the house that afternoon! Haller?! Would I have set it that afternoon if I was leaving the house?! Like I said, a bunch of idiots! 

I will end this post for now. I have no idea how long I will have to wait for Globelines to address my issue. It may be ten thousand years before they get back to me. *sigh* 

I promise myself, once the bufra moves in, I will CHANGE ISPs!!! 

I want to get in the Philippine Six Sigma Conference 2010!

I have always wanted to get ahead in the workplace. Unfortunately, I’m kind of stuck on where I am. I’ve been applying for a process analyst position but that didn’t pan out. I guess, I just didn’t have the right tools for the job. I needed a boost. And voila! 

I found this contest post on Mukhang Pera who routed me to this blog post: http://philippineoutsourcingreview.blogspot.com/2010/07/get-free-delegate-pass-philippine-six.html
