Not sure If I have posted this before, if I have it was probably a few hacks back.
OK so I was made into an SC once. When I found out what I had to do I cringe.....o.k. we bought this program...it was version 5.0/5.5 or something anyways it was at LEAST 4-5 years old....and outdated now..I think they are up to version 9/1 now...anyways we have moved buildings quite a few times while I have been working for this business and along the way we lost a few things..INCLUDING the complete contents and CD of this program...GREEAT..but this was lost WELL before I was working there (though it didn't stop people looking at me as though I had lost it)...so yeah...I go to tell the boss that it's gone, and that means I can't install it onto my brand spanking new computer...BIG problem...he then told me to ring the company and ask for a new one...FREE!! WTF!! ummm NOOOO it doesn't WORK that way...but anyways he wouldn't let me get the newer version till we had asked the company for a new CD of our version for free, OR to see what else they could do (like giving us the NEW version for FREE!)...
I was MADE to call up a company and ask for a CD of a program which WE lost, to get a new CD for FREE then ask that if they didn't have that could we have the new one for FREE!...I went red in the face as I was asking....I put it into words that sounded like we REALLY just wanted to know what our options were..but it still sounded like I was trying to scam them....*sigh*...needless to say the guy on the phone sounded rather peeved and talked to a manager....said he would "look" for the version we had and "see" if they could get it to us....haven't heard from them since (it's been over a month now) and we ended up getting the new version anyways...but only AFTER I had made the call....ah..I'm going red just thinking about it...I should have refused to do it
Anyone else had that happen to them?? Been MADE to be an SC??
