I hate it when that happens.

Me too. I have a grim reaping like wrath about me, at the moment.

Which is all very well and good, but when they say: "Upon further review, it has come to our attention that your server was mistakenly identified and suspended in error." It's come to their attention because I told them. Not because they bothered to check when they pulled the plug incorrectly. They also "understand the frustration and inconvenience this has caused you", because I made it very clear to them. What am I? Chopped liver?
Pillocks.

Biblicians are going to be so back-slappingly apologetic when it turns out 666 was a digit short.
-
( My business phone number has "666" in it. When I am giving the number in a business context I quote the number, and then say "the number of the beast". Which illicits a mixed response. Particularly with some 'mericans. They can be such dorks. )
-
The response you have received is a great example of the world today.
Insincere, don't give a toss apology for piss poor service that will continue.
It's endemic now. Not sure how the world ended up here. Maybe it was always this, but I don't remember it that way.

Globalisation, innit. Big firms don't have to give a fuck because they know you'll come crawling back anyway.

I think we interact with megacorps more today than before, especially when it comes to ‘services’. I think those companies have always been shit to deal with when things go wrong. Same goes, it should be said, for the old public sector megacorps (BT etc). So I don’t think it’s gotten worse.. I just think we see more of it and (thanks to the old socials) we hear more about it.

Yes I'm wary of the whole it was better back in my day line.
But everything here now is definitely shitter than pre pandemic.

I fcukin hate that tripe.
They did a good bit about this on radio 4 yesterday after the Mail's headline that young people are taking more time off work than ever due to their mental health and "anxiety" - obviously Mail threw in that "critics" branded it "snowflakery".
The report author was talking about boomers just going to work anyway, but ignoring what was going on at home (shellshock, domestic violence etc) to the detriment of everyone, so actually recognising mental health issues was much healthier in the long-run (still gave the Mail a good headline).It's like the muppets who talk about leaving their doors unlocked back in the halcyon days of the Krays running East London etc, because it was much safer. Bollox, it's because you had fcuk all worth nicking back then.
-
Point of order. Pre-tories and their extreme brexshit.
The pandemic didn't underfund and dismantle our infrastructure and services, nor remove our legal rights and access to redress.
-
Russians, Russians, Russians might be true for the public sector.
For the private sector megacorps it's pretty clear that lockdown etc accelerated there dominance and enabled them to slash service spending as they saw fit without redress. The lucky bastards.
-
I'm not saying that the pandemic didn't have an impact....but that was primarily in terms of a smokescreen and excuse for redistributing the public purse in specific and limited ways, and further undermining the legal and social status of the population as a whole. In a direction of travel that was already well under way post-brexshit.

My great-grandfather who was a farm labourer at the beginning of the 20th century commented on this nonsense in the early 70s, his simple answer was “good old days, the buggers didn’t have to live in ‘em”.

That I can't reliably stream iPlayer on my phone while on a train in the year 2024.

That is going to be a problem for me at 7.30 tomorrow...
