This site was "RevK's Rants" and someone said that seemed unprofessional and I changed it - I may change it back as the whole idea of this was to be "personal" not "professional", and anyone thinking the MD of an ISP "Ranting" on a "personal blog" is "unprofessional" does not comprehend the difference between "personal" and "professional".
This problem is that some or many of my reason to rant are work related. Indeed my first rants and reason for making the blog, separate from work status pages, was because of dealing with BT as a supplier. So maybe leave the name for now. But somehow I need a way to say "personally this is bullshit" separate from "As MD of an ISP I do not agree with the way this supplier handled this situation".
However, this time is a proper rant at Amazon, yet again, but as a video this time.
Enjoy, and if you are considering dealing with Amazon, then also "beware"...
That’s the free market for you. Big business figured out they don’t have to compete on good service, just being the least worst option.
ReplyDeleteAt work we used to have private newsgroups. One of them was the local .rant newsgroup clearly advertised as for letting off steam and that management should avoid unless they had tough skins or were prepared to fix things. But once we got US owners that was not acceptable, various people were reprimanded and it was closed. Now we rant where the fuckers can't see us. As a local manager said to me, "Now I have no idea what is within my power to fix that people are pissed about".
ReplyDeleteI prefer it when people are genuine and don’t act professional and corporate. I like the way you are an impatient techy who gets angry at things because he cares. When I know a company is run by angry techy, I know the product will be good. More people should be themselves instead of putting on a fake corporate act. I think you are a very nice and capable man and I like the genuine nature of this blog.
