I'm assuming well-paid people actually write these things. But do they read and understand them? Here's a flyer that's being handed out in PCVST by or for Ms. Shields, a "Concierge Relationship Representative" for Time Warner Cable. That's a suitably impressive title for New York's yunnies, which makes me and I hope true New Yorkers want to gag, but does Ms. Shields, or her copy writer, actually mean: "I am full service and am available every day 24/7 for anyone to contact me"?

She also jumps from third person to first.
ReplyDeleteI do suspect that an "Allyson Shields" may not exist. How can she respond "immediately" 24/7?
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an arts and crafts project. The writing is not corporate-speak. I have Time Warner and haven't gotten this notice. Looks like a scam, but I can't tell what the purpose might be.
ReplyDeleteI tried googling "Allyson Shields" and "Time Warner," etc, and got nothing.
ReplyDeleteDon't be such a Nancy Negative. Allyson is a superb relationship representative. Thanks to her my marriage is saved and our tv reception is better than ever!
ReplyDeleteSomeone who said she was Allyson Shields and was recently hired by Time Warner knocked on my door last night but I was in the middle of having dinner with my family and said I couldn't talk to her. She left me with one of these flyers. It's bad enough that marketeers PHONE you at dinner time thinking that you will be home. I certainly do NOT want them knocking on my door, too. Intrusive and disrespectful. Wonder if Management is getting a kickback from the door-to-door marketing. I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
ReplyDelete“Full Service and Available 24/7”. Sounds like an escort service advertisement to me. There’s nothing more of a turn on to me then having a cable representative whisper sweet nothings in my ear about “bundled” services. Hey, there’s a fetish for everyone.
ReplyDeleteHey, the TA FB page has the answer.
ReplyDeleteHEY ALLYISON I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU! HOW DO I GET A NEW BOX? THE LAST TIME THE TIME WARNER MAN WAS HERE HE VIOLATED MY BOX AND BROKE IT AND NOW I NEED A NEW ONE! PING ME!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like some freelancer on commission. There is no need to contact such a person. I have TWC for TV/Internet/Phone and only ever deal with their customer service which, if not great, is legions better than Verizon! You have to wait on hold for a while to speak to a live person, but at least it's always been someone who knew what they were doing, unlike Verizon. I have never had a problem with TWC and I have been a customer since 1987 when it was "Manhattan Cable." Now, that was a different kettle of fish! TWC is ok. Verizon sucks to hell and I've heard good and bad stories concerning RCN. Can only speak as I find and have never heard of Allyson Shields.
ReplyDeleteRCN is OK, their tech reps are pretty good, when I needed a repair guy (and no, he did not look like Jim Carrey), he came at the very start of the AM window period.
