What a tumult of hoary, institutional scandal has burst upon this country in recent times.
In the bosom of the Mother of Parliaments, the mother of an expenses fraud. At News International, endemic and management-endorsed phone hacking. At the BBC, and elsewhere, cover-up, or at least the turning of an institutional ‘blind eye’, to the worst excesses of moral depravity and exploitation.
JOIN THE NEWS OF THE WORLD EMPLOYEE ACTION GROUP!
We have recently been contacted by a number of very concerned News of the World employees …or should we say ex-NoTW employees.
Rocked by yesterday’s shocking developments, News of the World employees are now not only acutely concerned for their immediate future, but are also distressed about the potential long term career damage that may suffer by being, as they see it, unjustly tainted by the acts of others.
News of the World employees are angered that they are effectively being scape-goated and punished when they have done no wrong.
I have had a run in with PC World.
They will not replace a faulty computer.
PC World, I note from my internet research today, has been described by others as ‘Like Hell, but with worse customer service.’
I cannot say whether this is true as I have not yet had the pleasure of visiting Hell, but my experience of PC World in Charlton has reduced me to an infernal despair.
It appears from my web research today that I am not alone in my despair. In the hope that it may assist others, here is the text of my letter before action I have crafted to the MD of DSG Retail who own PC World, and, I believe, Currys.
Enough is enough.
I have drafted a new Act of Parliament to save us all from any more imbecility of the part of banks, local authorities, airports and other such organisations who seem to regard our time as theirs to waste.
Administrative lunacy seems to have become a defining national characteristic and its got to stop.
Welcome to the Administrative and Banking Services(Unreasonable Requests and Delays)Act 2010…or ABSURDA 2010 for short.
Time is very precious. Mine is. Yours is. It’s illegal to waste someone’s time with unsolicited mail and spam. So what about absurd telephone loops, crazy administrative requests, unnecessary forms that take hours read and days to complete, inexplicable airport delays, bureaucratic imbecility of Daliesque proportions?
