More Reps. Less Sups. Yeah, that makes sense...

[Caveat Emptor]

Our Cust Service Manager, along with several others, were laid off because the Powers That Be have decided, in all their infinite wisdom, that there are going to be more Reps per CSM. Oh, yes, this is going to work out VERY well. [sarcasm] You can already see the massive increase in morale. [/sarcasm] I predict this is going to last all of a month. That is the length of time it took them it rescind previous boneheaded moves.

[Becks]

Just remember, if it makes sense (in any way, shape or form) it's not allowed.

[digilight]

I can see it now.

"Yes can I take to a supervisor"

"Sure the wait time will be about 3 hours for that please hold, we are currently playing the long version of inagodavida for your listening pleasure"

*customer drinks himself into a blinding stupor in the following 3 hours*

"thank you for holding this is 'overworked and constantly screamed at supervisor' how can I help you today"

"ummmmm, I forget, but I think I may now have alcohol poisoning"

***it's called thining the herd*** But I think that the remaining sups, and reps will need either vodka put in the water color, a valum vending machine, or a oncall pshrink to deal with the assholedness that will ensue.

"Sure the wait time will be about 3 hours for that please hold, we are currently playing the long version of inagodavida for your listening pleasure"

I can hear myself now: "Can you put me back on hold? I'ld like to catch the rest..."

And I can think of a few other songs just as long or longer that would make... interesting hold music.

If I were feeling really sadistic, I'd have our hold music be a repository of every bad ever written

And it would all be performed by the musical "talents" from the Doctors Office, Dentists Office and Elevator Musicians Local #431. This Golden Bidet of Hits would include:

• Muskrat Love
• Yummy Yummy Yummy (I Got Love in My Tummy)
• MacArthur Park
• Stairway to Heaven
• The Name Game
• I Got You Babe
• Every Lionel Richie song ever performed (Future ones also)
• Every Sheena Easton song ever performed (Future ones also)
• The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

And WHAT praytell is wrong with Muskrat Love(Amerca) and Stairway to Heaven?

[Strange Magic]

My vote for the hold muzak would be from that classic of American TV...The Meow Mix commercial song


And just what the @#$% is wrong with Stairway to Heaven?!!?

[Becks]

[*]Muskrat Love

Biscuit. They play that at work already. Thank YOU, XM 23 (The Heart)!! /sarcasm

[Caveat Emptor]

I hates it. So there.

Toss in that newer song with all the whistling in it and the cutesy-poo cartoon video, "Young Folks" I believe it is called, by some wienerhead.

[JustADude]

Because it's the first song EVERYONE who buys an electric guitar learns to mangle, apparently. The original isn't actually bad, but I've heard enough wannabes with a cheap guitar and a cheaper portable amp trying to play it that it makes me twinge.
