Re: C&F Acquired
Will Red Wolverine continue to operate or will Recursive Zebra take over those operations?
Does this mean that the undisputed will have to undergo greater security changes, including the purchase of additional black helicopters for the massive Chiff and Fipple operations.

Sadly, it sounds like Dale's already been headhunted. Next come downplaying the negatives, upplaying the positives, upmounting outsourcing, ongoing rightsizing and relayering... and, if that weren't enough, the risk arbitrageurs will be atcoming--talk about wolverines. We'd better circle the wagons, prioritize a methodology, architect a proactive solution and fast-track it--without deferred success--or we'll all become the next soft targets.
I'd be inclined to think a suit somewhere in Michigan being a Wolverine and all.

My wife has a tendency to rant against corporate mergers that foster inequity, especially the inflated earnings of CEOs who screw their workers and cheat consumers. We'll all be watching for the Undisputed to be moving into his new 67,000 sq. ft. mansion, paid for by whistler's everywhere.
Any thoughts on which lobbyists might look out for C&F's interests in DC?

Last time I heard about this was about four years ago.

My god!! That's "Mrs. Halloran," the Indian lady I used to get when I called "Customer Service" (using the term loosely) for a large communications company whose name I won't use but which sounds like a combination of "veranda" and "horizon." I had to call them three times in about an hour once day because their crappy switchboard kept cutting me off, and every time I called back in, the phone was answered "Thank you for calling <name withheld to protect guilty>. This is Mrs. Halloran. How can I help you?"Lambchop wrote:Might want to look closely at the undisputed avatar, Gonz . . .gonzo914 wrote:I hope outsourcing off-shore isn't in the plan, because if I call customer service and get some New Delhi phone sweatshop, I will find a whistle board that keeps it's customer service in the U.S., or at least Texas, and I will take my business there.
You'd think they would at least train them to not all use the same made-up name.

Well, at least you weren't on hold for 3 hours with a different large communications company - and THEN get to speak with Mr. Halloran (OK, he didn't give his name as such, but he was in India) only to be told that to complete the transaction I wanted to be completed (which was established at the beginning of the 3 hour hold time) I had to speak to someone else and got put on hold AGAIN! For Pete's sake, people - you're a PHONE company!!! You should be able to have someone to answer the PHONE!!!!!!!!!My god!!

Re: C&F Acquired
Why yes; it's all the rage among middle management. As you can see, thinking inside the box isn't limited to casual Fridays, and the stool isn't a prerequisite either.talasiga wrote:I, personally, would never put my head in a box while sitting on my stool, or any stool for that matter.

I just noticed that the Privacy Policy link on the homepage does not work any more. Is this elimination of the privacy policy an indicator of the new corporate environment? Does this mean that all customer information has already been shipped to an Indian subcontractor who has no obligation to follow U.S. privacy laws?
Boy, am I glad that when I signed up, I used someone else's social security number.
