Re: o2 gurus are useless - Page 2

I was nearing to the end of my contract, only one month left and so I asked when I could change to a sim only plan. I was told that I could change one month earlier than the end of my contract date, only to later find out that this was wrong and I had been charged for the last month too.

I know when I signed up to the contract I agreed to pay the full 2 years and I'm not angry about this, it's just that I was misinformed by the o2 gurus(otherwise I would have waited until the end of the contract and not cancel early!!!) and o2 refused to accept responsibility for their employees mistakes, charged me as normal even after having proof that I was told the wrong information. I will be avoiding o2 from now on.

When I spoke to them, they apologised and just mentioned that I signed the contract to pay the full 2 years so I'm liable to pay the bill. Well yes I am due to the terms of the contract, but I was informed otherwise and I had no reason to doubt an "o2 guru". They just reassured me that this is a one-time event and will never happen again when I said I won't be using o2 from now on. Looks like I'm paying the price for their employees mistakes and I have no confidence in their reassurance to me that this will never happen again.

I do worry when companies 'big up' their staff with daft titles as gurus or genius - OK some staff do know their stuff but the average employee will have a hard time living up to the label attached to them. I remember visiting an apple store a few years back to speak to a genius - "So you are a genius?" - I asked the lady, 'apparently' was her rather unconvincing reply!

There's plenty of people everywhere without the sense they were born with!
