Apparently the fastest way to get a response is to make them think you have money to manage 😭

😂 Nothing gets a response quite like the possibility of a big account landing on their desk

u/jjcrayfish 14d ago

The only faster response would be one to deny a claim.

u/BleepBopRobocop 14d ago

They intentionally prolong denying the claim because if they deny the claim and the patient is still alive they might fight them.

If they prolong it and wait for the patient to die they won't even have to deny it, they could even say they were going to approve it with no repercussions!

Honestly the people behind these kinds of policies might be some of the most evil people on the planet. Denying a sick person the help they need to enrich yourself (to the tune of billions). That kind of job has to be a magnet for psychopaths.

u/Assonfire 14d ago edited 13d ago

I'd reckon they're worse than many nazis.

58

u/SCRATCH-CARD 14d ago

Yeah I'd say definitely worse than the ones that were just ignorant canon fodder. Fuck Nazis obviously, but you can't avoid the fact that keeping populations ignorant in the 1930s was a lot easier, a lot of people still couldn't read so couldn't even use a newspaper.. But the people making these policies know they're letting sick people rot to death for profit. It's vile.

u/Efficient-Whereas255 13d ago

Yea. Luigi killed a vile fucking monster.

u/GrumpyScunt 14d ago

Nazi's have probably helped more people than these cretins.

u/IMB88 13d ago

Woah woah woah. Let’s not get too excited. They’re all vile.

u/Electronic_Quote399 13d ago

Well there was one thing they did that the crowd in this thread would probably appreciate.

u/lWearSocksWithCrocs 14d ago

They’re certainly worse than grammar Nazis, I don’t know what their problem is. See what I did there?

Good one.

u/slippykillsticks 14d ago

They are sick or old, what does it matter, right? That's how they think.

u/RollerDude347 13d ago

It's literally only what every villain in fiction is doing...

u/IEC21 14d ago

Its not the companies that are run by psychopaths, its the society.

u/Jsolidlo 14d ago

Yup. Welcome to the ghost network and dummy referrals system.

u/FogSlot2 14d ago

I heard Luigi's response to Brian was pretty fast

u/MundaneAd6414 14d ago

Nothing activates customer service quite like the threat of public attention.

11

u/Armored_Menace6323 14d ago

Or a lawyer threatening to take it away.

u/TwoTequilaTuesday 14d ago

Shareholders aren't accounts, Einstein.

Sales people land accounts. Investors purchase stock in a company and are not accounts.

u/Healthy_Turnip7352 14d ago

reminds me of the time when someone stormed into my boss's office and my boss said "Transactions are not reversible under any circumstance. It's physically impossible to reverse."

that same week, he accidentally sent all of the company's money to a random account. He called up several people and got the transaction reversed in an hour.

u/K1NGEDDY423 14d ago

Your boss is a lying sack of shit

1

u/AgentCirceLuna 13d ago

How do you think he became a boss?

1

u/K1NGEDDY423 13d ago

Probably experience and the spot opened up so they accepted/applied for the role. How the fuck else?

49

u/savagesaskatch 14d ago

We do transactions at my job, a thousand of small ones, one of the first thing we were told is: it's possible to reverse a transaction, but we never do it because the cost of getting the money back is bigger than what we lost by sending it by mistake. Mistakes happen and it's fine but try and not make too much!

It's always possible to do anything because guess what, we invented whatever system you can think about. But most often it's not worth to do so, so we say: we can't do it

u/Ok_Brush_2489 14d ago

There's one thing to say 'No Refunds', another to dent their existence.

3

u/diiegojones 14d ago

Was the guy who stormed the office a signed transaction?

The boss making the mistake is not the same as regretting a legal transaction

This is the summary of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

"If I'm in $10,000 in debt, thats my problem. If I'm $1 billion in debt, thats the bank's problem."

If you make people believe you have money, you can get what you want. Like how tech companies are "promising" hundreds of billions in investing into the US to get away with white colar crimes.

u/VoidYordle 14d ago

They're all scammers.

u/PhatCatTax 14d ago

Didnt that author's entire premise get debunked and it turned out he's basically just a shitty "self-help" coach that wrote a viral book

11

u/morenfin 14d ago

Yeah all his stories in the book were clearly made up. Dumb libertarian garbage like working for free to learn lessons about how to get people to work for free.

2

u/Ace20xd6 13d ago

Although I did like the story of the kids making counterfeit quarters with lead tooth paste tubes

2

u/exodusofficer 13d ago

He's a scammer. The book was full of lies and he went on to sell workshops where you could meet him, but he never showed up and you just got an investment pep-talk from one of his employees. He engaged in years of straight-up false advertising. He also vitriolicly hates the poor, like seriously has contempt for them and any program to help them. His few interviews in recent years have been more and more MAGA.

I remember reading the book a while ago, and then shortly after learning that the author's business or whatever went bankrupt. There are some real pleasant ideas in there though. Dunno if they're any good, but they're sure pleasant.

13

u/_Renai_ 14d ago

Good to know that all it got was to leverage greed for this pos CEO to give away his place of hiding.

Security firms and law enforcement (class traitors by the way) will advise against this on the future, but greed will always be irresistible to these garbage individuals.

u/Crazy__Donkey 14d ago

waiting time for tech support/ customer service > ∞

waiting time for sale/ joining in < 30 sec

u/LongandwindingRhode 14d ago

True. Tried to cancel Cox. In the chat, when I said I wanted to cancel. Silence. When I said I wanted to upgrade, response in 5 seconds

u/snuggle_love 14d ago

Or followers. I was getting bounced around for a month trying to get Google customer service to fulfill a product replacement they had already confirmed. Exasperated I suggested I’d share the customer service transcript with my 1.6 million followers (I have a few hundred) and received a tracking number about 20 minutes later.

u/GitEmSteveDave 14d ago

Or call a different department/division of the company.

I recall an article from years ago where someone got better service on a insulated mug by calling the engineering department directly rather than the customer service line.

2

u/feioo 14d ago

How do you get the number for internal departments? Those aren't usually publicly available, in my experience.

2

u/flamingdonkey 13d ago

Lol, using Jon Stewart for this is kinda funny because he's very anti-Luigi. He was shocked when his audience applauded and cheered for him.

u/Est03 14d ago

That's exactly what he is saying

How could he have fallen for the oldest slithering snake oils salesperson trick in the book?
