Then there are all those who just end up in hospital, or those whose abusers are smart enough to stick to psychological trauma. It's a nightmare.

Orcon:
25 April Request a plan change as I've gone over cap. Agree to $85 a month for 100GB, phone line, call waiting, voicemail caller Id, free national calling all included.
29 April lose internet and phone
4 May Internet restored
6 May Phone restored
19 May still no voicemail
Bill received for "Unlimited Broadband" + extra for the items I had negotiated as being included - that's not what I ordered, I ordered the $85 100GB plan. Overcharged by $40 +
Call centre says I must pay or I will get disconnected but they will credit me next billing round.
No response to further email communications. Have so far spent over 3 hours on the phone to their Call Centre. Anybody out there who can help?
I think it's time to change. (Username jeeves)

The problem with being techy startup oriented geek is you need to pair up with a competent/honest business/idea type. I'm batting 0% after 25 years :\

Same data consumed, but costs a casual user 4X the crazy expensive business rate.

Why did an american TV news article need to describe one of the shot police officers as "the same colour" as the shooter?

i mean it's obvious they're saying he's the same colour insinuating it wasn't a racial killing but i don't really think it was necessary

When you hire a consultant to help with a project at work who literally wrote the book (several of them) on how to do it and management ignore all his recommendations because 'you cant trust everything consultants say' and then wonder why we are 3 months behind schedule.

Use scissors, wipe scissors afterwards (yes, still annoying).

When half a dozen cloud and hosting services on rolling monthly billing come back to me saying my credit card was declined, I wonder WTF, call the bank, and get told "Our fraud department cancelled the card last week for potentially fraudulent activity"

Nice to fucking know.

ANZ? They did the same to my card a while ago after a local Uber payment came up as fraudulent activity for some bizarre reason. Sucks to find out when you're at the front of a queue trying to pay for team coffees :/

Kiwibank cut my debit card off without notification. I assumed that they let the legitimate owner work it out and get in touch, rather than risking calling a cellphone with some random answering, reading details such as date of birth from a licence.

I still haven't re-enabled it, but thanks for the reminder.

That's what I would have liked ... they send me SMS alerts for any large sums of cash being transferred in or out of the account, why not an SMS alert to advise that the account has been frozen? :/

The old man's cards and Internet banking access got frozen - when he enquired, they said it was because he was dead. Yeah... it was a joint account too.

I'm not saying that's their entire logic, I'm just saying that I can see the sense of both approaches.

I'm not sure I see the logic in not trying to contact the customer.
Potential failed purchases and payments, additional fees charged to the customer for failed payments.
Embarrassment for customer etc.

I recently made a purchase from Greece, and my bank called me within five minutes. They know I shop online, but I've never shopped on a Greek site, so it clearly set off alarms. Impressive.

I hate clickbait. I hate that "you won't believe" and "the moment when" crap. I loathe grief porn. So. I find it really fucking vile when the two are combined and run by the Herald as Heartbreaking moment son told Mum's dead. Hey there's a video and everything!

The Herald is now on a level with Upworthy and Buzzfeed. It's not news any more.

I... err - F*ck It.
 
Job hunting in NZ (post 8 years UK) and trying to deal with recruiters/HR in NZ:

- So you've been working with this Accenture company? Who are they again?

- Ahh I see. I don't see how that's relevant. You don't have 5 years in this exact job title (generic xyz manager title), so I don't think you have the right experience for this job you understand?

- Yes, so I can see you literally wrote up the global framework and policy, ran the pilots, oversaw the roll-out region by region and the associated financial business cases for this FTSE 100 company in exactly the same field, but I would much rather you had 5 years experience in this role within NZ.

- Yeah, your UK experience isn't relevant to the NZ market, so you need to start a level or 2 lower, so perhaps you apply to for junior role and work your way up over the next 2 years.

I work in Supply Chain Management and Operational Planning, in a field where there is severe skills shortage in NZ. I appreciate it's just HR but I don't remember HR being this painful :/
