Writing this on Saturday, Feb. 13th at 11:40 am. So far, I have been on hold with this Annex a total of 70 minutes this morning. The first time a human answered the phone, she didn't ask me what I needed and put me on hold for close to 30 minutes. I called again, was put on hold again, then hung up on. Three more times like this -- answer, then mysteriously the call is dropped.
I call again -- she puts me "on hold," but doesn't realize she hasn't transferred me to the "hold music" and I can hear her shooting the breeze with her coworkers. Not talking about an urgent or professional matter. Just chatting. This goes on for 15 minutes.
I hang up and call once more. Now, I work in service and have dealt with my share of jerks and Karens, so I hate to get angry at anyone working a retail/service job. I tell her how many minutes I've been on hold and that I could hear her whole last conversation with her coworkers. She argues with me that she's the only one working the phones today. I ask if I'm going to get some actual help now. She says, "Yes, and you're gonna go on hold." Another 10 minutes. She answers, actually looks up the tracking of one of my packages (this situation was beyond what the website tracking could tell me) and tells me the whereabouts. I ask her to look up the second and last package and start to read the tracking number to her. She puts me on hold again and we are now approaching 30 minutes again.
She told me she was the only one working the phones today, and I know how much working understaffed sucks, but this was beyond ridiculous. Either hire this woman some help, or a manager needs to address this completely unprofessional behavior with her. read more
