It enables them to stand up and say we've had an 80% reduction in complaints since implementing the new system. Sadly some of them will actually believe that they've made things more efficient, and not even realise what they've actually done. Though others will, and don't give a damn. Have you ever seen the Yes Minister episode with the new hospital that had no patients (and mightn't, for years), yet they had a massive staff, all pointlessly doing things? Nobody working at the hospital saw anything wrong with it. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a Monty Python sketch, trying to win an argument against John Cleese. I certainly felt that way earlier this year trying to deal with the phone company over broken equipment that needed replacing. It took well over 18 months to get it done. They tried every delaying tactic under the sun. Wanted pointless, and excessively moronic, things done repeatedly. e.g. Can you take a photo of your phone not working and send it to me? It's what happens when you let non-technical people work in a technical area. And I'm currently going through the same kind of crap with the local council over them destroying my lawn. They had the nerve to ask for photographic evidence that I had one before they did what they did. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
