Your Satisfaction is our Greatest Annoyance

I think it’s wonderful that your company is now owned by it’s employees. Like small business owners, employee owned companies have more invested and are proud to produce good products, and good customer satifaction.

My husband and I are both run our own businesses, our end product for our clients needs to be the best and we are proud to give them our best at a fair market price. If we don’t, we loose our reputation and we go out of business.

It’s too bad some the larger Corporations here in America don’t have this mind set anymore.

AdLib, I had the pleasure last Friday morning spending a 1/2 hour registering Quickbooks software for my client. I thought I could do it all online, well you can’t anymore. At the end of the process you have to call there ‘800’ number to complete the registration.

Well I got ‘Mike’, my Intuit customer service rep. Well Mike’s accent was so strong, that every other word from me was, ‘pardon’, ‘exuse me, can you repeat that’, so on. What should have been a simple on-line process now has become a nighmare.

All because Intuit wants to sell me or my client, checks, deposit slips, on-line credit card services and last but not least, a 1 yr tech support for the product that I have used for over 10 yrs.

My frustration level was quite high by the end of the call, poor ‘Mike’, and to top it off, I expect an e-mail or phone call today, asking me to take a survey on how their good their ‘Customer Service’ was……have a nice day!

Where are the Progressive and Liberal Voices on Gitmo?

I like to believe that Obama is going to do what is right for this country irregardless what the press or some of the Dems think. I also think he understands that support for certain policies are not going to be there.

He acknowledged during the campaign that we will need to change the thinking and the way things are done in Washington, for both parties.

Hopefully he will continue to take the higher moral ground and let’s hope that the good guys finish first this time…

FINALLY.. once again a Nation of LAWS & NOT of “men”.

Ya know Mo you may be on to something there, wouldn’t put it past them.

Thanks Kalima, looks like he and his speech was well received by the Japanese.

Also, read the article on the Air Base in Okinawa, let’s hope that gets resolved. Would like to see it closed, but the powers that be must see it a strategic base.

Thank you again for the link.

Thanks, whenever you have time.

javaz, all your links here today are great, yes all posts do eventually come aroung to Sister Sarah, the mental midgit that she is.

Would like to know where she received her Law Degree from though, sheesh….wish she would just go away, far away…

Can’t wait for the Oprah interview, apparently she does usual word salad when questioned…

Thanks javaz, this is the most concise arguement against all this hoopla the GOP and news pundits are going on about.

I think I’m going to save this one for future use….

Would love to see the transcript of this speech, we only get tidbits of it on the news here…

Goodnight, sleep well.

It’s quite nice having intelligent adults in charge again, that will not pervert justice and the constitution for their own gain.

This is just another step in our thousand mile journey to get our country back to where it’s supposed to be. I applaud Pres. Obama and Attny. Holder.

But of course the ‘pundit’s’ are going to have a field day with this, they’ve already started on CNN last night.

Evening/Morning here in stormy CT, Kalima. Missed the debate, no power. How’s everything, I saw this press conference on the early news last night, he was brilliant as usual.

I believe that the press has totaly underestimated Obama’s ability to cut these leading questions to the quick. I love watching him do this to them, he is a master at this and they don’t even see it coming.

Debate Night Live – Vote and Discuss!

I am so disapointed that I missed this, we lost power for a little while last night due to the storm. It looks like reading the comments here that the debate went off pretty good, oh, well next time….

Why Progess Is Not Instantaneous

I think that all this home schooling is what is causing this dumbing down of the conservatives…

Yeh, like the Inter-State Highways were a gift from God…must have been one of his many mircles.

That arguement that the wingers use for taxes is a lame one, they want the services but don’t want to pay for them.

I love it when they start to go on and on over at huff poop about this, then someone posts the list of all the government products and services that are paid by our taxes and that they use!

Let’s see, this could mean stimulus jobs for all the mfg’s, installers and mechanics:

Tires – new
Tires – repaired
Axles
Tie Rods
Push Rods
Hubcaps, if lost
Break pads
Windshields, if rock kicks up

And the labor chain goes into motion….

Call me Mom, that fine with me…the people who are non/anti union are the ones who I like to call the drones. They usually sit at a desk and push papers, they have no idea how a business is run, how things are manufactured or how the economy works.

They only know their small little world, and have no interest in learning how things work…this is the dumbing down of america, thanks to the repug propaganda machine.

Someone should draw it out for the average person, you don’t know how many times I have for my clients…wigits…

One third of all overhead costs for a company is employee payroll and benefits..it’s not only healthinsurance. It’s Employer matching FICA, Medicare, FUTA, Workman’s Comp, General Liability Insur., Disability Insur.

Having employees is very costly for the business, yes it’s a tax w/o at the end of the year, but you better have they money up front each month or quarter to pay these.

So wages stay stagnant, employees are not hired and the existing employees have to work harder…it’s an endless cycle until things pick up.

The list could go on indefinately…people don’t seem to understand this and I know MSM will never show the labor chain…too abstract.

» Posted By BigDogMom On November 13, 2009 @ 1:06 pm

No, I’ve been busy all day, haven’t gotten to my ‘reading’ today…

Obama is making everyone in the Corporate world very nervous…he doesn’t play by their rules like George and Dick did.

Good afternoon Monk, great post.

I think when you run a small business as my husband and I do, we have a greater understanding of how things get done and how one project can create so many trickle down jobs outside of the ones just the proposed project(s) will create.

Here is a quick summery of how many jobs will be created just from a shipment of Concrete to the job site:

1.) Create raw material = jobs to make product = admin. jobs to run company = admin/mfg jobs for companies who support running of company….

2.) Raw material transported to cement contractor

Driver(s) = admin. jobs for company that employs Driver = jobs for companies that support this company….

Trucks(s) = jobs for people who manufacture/sell/maintain trucks = admin. jobs to run company(s) that manufacture/sell/maintain trucks = jobs for companies that support running of company….

3.) Contractor to transport, mix, and lay concrete

Truck(s) for transportation = see above mfg/sell/maint of trucks etc…

Mixer(s) = jobs to mfg/sell/maint. mixers = job for guy who runs mixer = admin. jobs to run company = admin./mfg jobs that support running of company…

Lay concrete = manual labor

Unfortunately the only jobs that the MSM seem to be counting as created by the project, is the last job in the labor chain, the guy who lays the concrete…

Friday Night Live!

Oh My God! You got to be kidding…can’t wait for the Oprah interview, me thinks the Big O is not impressed with Miss Sarah as Rush et al are.

Keep safe…

There were some others, but I haven’t been over there today to see the usual “key” fighting words…

Sorry…

I would like to say that I have not been to the black hole called Huff Po today…Yehhhhh!!!!

I’m surprised that the trolls didn’t try to blame Obama for the cost of spaceship or something else along those lines…

» Posted By BigDogMom On November 13, 2009 @ 12:59 pm

No, your not alone, I don’t drink either…
