• Why is it so hard to do business over the phone? [telecom]

    From Bill Horne@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 24 05:42:04 2021
    I have been on my phone for more than five hours, trying to find
    someone wh can help with housework during my convalescence.

    I've never found anything so frustrating:
    every.single.voicemail.system seems to be set up with the idea that my
    time and energy should be contributed to some corporation's bottom
    line.

    All the systems I've had to interact with seem to be set up to make it
    clear that their owners would rather I go to a website, or that I
    shouldn't want to deal with that company in the first place.

    Excuse me for venting, but there has got to be a better way.

    Bill
