poor tech support;- case study 3

  1. I wasted 7 min while the tech interrogated me to avoid direct connection to effectively fix problems in real time.
  2. the chat is attached for the MD’s attention.
  3. tech PhDs are not seen by clients; only good service matters.
  4. some other techs as well adopt a superior approach which makes the GB site promises that we can sit back and relax a lie.
  5. chat should have a sound so I do not need to be a slave to the screen while the tech is busy.
    my time is valuable too and small things show consideration.

06:19:30 AM shri sharmaji : I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO KNOW THE EXE CODES AND WORK OUT MYSELF WHICH THEY REFER TO. GB CLAIMS TO LET CLIENTS SIT BACK AND LET TECHS DO THE WORK. YOUR ALERTS ASK ME TO TAKE RATIONAL ACTION. I CANNOT WHEN I AM NOT A GEEK. THAT IS WHY I ASK YOU TO INTERVENE. THE WHOLE THING FALLS DOWN WHEN YOU IGNORE THE HIPS ALERT AND TELL ME TO USE
