Feeling ripped off

Warning: Angry Rant.... Re: Client Support direct and so called work flex time: From perk to punishment. So I'm Feeling like a total fool. Those free trials where you need a credit card to receive free any free product are all SCAMS. Yes Client Support Network and the like I am talking about you. They bury what fee you have to pay if you don't cancel withing their time period under pages of we are not liable its. In the smallest possible font. In a small boring box on a website with lots of flash to make it hard to keeps your eyes focused on the words. It should be illegal that they make it so hard to read. And then you get the product, which is probably the equivalent of sugar water, that does not work. So you phone to cancel it. Only to be told sure. No problem. We won't charge your account. And then it shows up. The Fee. And you phone to get it removed. Only what you don't know was they count from the day you place that order. Not when they ship it. Or get payment, or when you get it. And the first customer service idiot didn't tell me about the full money back guarantee when I phone to cancel because it didn't work. Shame on you company for not saying. "Oh. Since you are not satisfied with this product you are entitled to your money back guarantee. " You Grinch-y money thrives. And it takes me 5 minutes of talking to get just a fraction reimbursed. And a nothing else we can do, So very sorry, but even of we messed up its your fault and to late. Sorry DOES NOT help. Saying its all my fault then saying sorry that the company that is probably not even paying you a living wage stole my money and there is nothing I can do. Where there ever companies that had rules that would take into account that people are not exact machines? We can be late, often days weeks or months. Traffic can make you very late, we talk to people on out breaks even if we love our job. Few people take into account how long it takes to walk somewhere. Flex time at work used to mean if you had to rearrange you scedule to take a kid to a doctors appointment you could work your weekly hours before or after to make them up. The new definition by the UPEI is work hours flexible to the employers needs, not the employee. That means if they need you to work nights, you now have to work nights. What was once a hiring perk is now a prison forced on people not seen as conforming. Or maybe they just don't like them. Anyways. There is good in the world. There is way to much bad. But we just have to keep pur heads high, smiles on, and depression firmly in check. Or rage of your not numb to this jaded world. Days like this are Tom Lehrer - We Will All Go Together When We Go - music days. "You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas Go directly, do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dollahs" Wish for today... World destroyed by meteors. And back to the carefully constructed cheerfill delusions that we all have to make it though the day.
