what is wrong defending your employer? If they like the company they work for and they think it is a great place to work and they think the business can be very big, then surely they can defend if?

Ok can we all now calm down and drink some beer, it is xmas after all

Time is money, and my time is very valuable. I can really do without having to waste my time making multiple calls to solve a problem that should have been sorted out when I placed the order.

How do you know I haven't made a complaint to the CEO office?

It seems that there are some people on here who seem to want to gag any bad press about VM.

Like I said, I can fully understand employee loyalty. But people should remove their blinkers occasionally, and see it from a consumers point of view.

a) which ones don't?
b) have you ever considered that their opinion as a consumer may co-incide with that which you regard as "still defend their employer" - they may be disagreeing with you because they disagree with you (as do others who are not VM employees), not because they are being loyal.

They are open 7 days a week and upto 10pm i believe. I dont think people want to gag VM as you say but are giving there opinion on the situation, it is a forum for disscutions about this sort of thing. Ive you re read some of the tread and my 1st post then you would see that some people have said yes they made a mistake and could of done things better but no point crying over spilt milk as to say. This issue is resolved. Like i said 1st post, if you have identifed an area that is weak and needs improving email the CEO office and tell them your sugesstion on how it would help customers AND the business

Once again you conflate disagreement with your viewpoint as wanting to gag you - you seem to be able to complain quite a few times about people wanting to gag you all the time, and you have put your complaint in more than one thread; don't you recognise the contradiction in what you are (repeatedly) stating?

Don't judge me

You don't know me, or anything about me, or the conversations. I was extremely polite with the first three calls, and only got irate when I was lied to. As I'm sure you would if you were lied to.

With that attitude, then you obviously used to work in the right place.

That's because various posters have said that I should contact the CEO's office rather than post in a forum. So why would they want me to do that?????

This is a forum, and this thread is fully in context with the web site.

Personal insults aren't very funny, and are also against forum rules. So mods please remove the offending post

I had evidence of their behavior. They had no evidence of my behavior during the calls.

doesnt mean it was in insult, it was his opinion which he is entitled to say

devilincarnate · 21-12-2011, 19:19

Tim can I just ask something here from what you posted in reply to one of my posts. You have said that you own a company and also if some was unsure you would like them to ask a manager? But now when people are having a opinion on here you are starting to get irate (If one of your staff did this, What would you do or say?)

I can see both sides of the argument as I have been on both ends.

That seems to be the underlying trend these days .As long as the issue gets resolved ....eventually...no harm no foul .That is totally the wrong way to aproach customer services .

actaully my point, if it gets resolved in the end, no point being angry. Its not like someone has died over it

or did they???
