I think that'll change next time around --- won't be first, but wont be
worst.

An antidotal story for you ---- I just redid a bunch of stuff on my account,
and honestly I'm waiting to see if it came out as described (part of it
certainly won't -- concerning RL pricing -- but that can be fixed) ----- and
for the most part the reps, which ranged from retention reps (or
cancellation reps as you chose to call them) to regular front line folks
were fairly decent. Of the 10 or so folks I spoke with there were 2 who had
no friggin idea what planet they were on, let alone able to use the tools in
front of them. Granted, these two got through the hiring system --- but
everyone has a good day, I guess. That said, I spoke to 8 others who were on
the ball and knew how to work with their tools. I don't think this good to
bad ratio would have been possible even a year ago.
And lets not forget, ES probably has a much wider reign (more powerful tools
/ and more power to think on their feet) when it comes to fixing stuff ----
which is understandable given the fact that there is some percentage of
Sprint employees that are just too stupid to get the job done --- or are
dishonest.
IOW's --- Sprint is trying to fix this aspect of their origination.

IBM is well known for their service and has a wide breadth of knowledge on
business systems --- so I don't think this is a bad thing. And reducing
handle time might be good thing -- if they can tune the system to eliminate
many of the 'stupid' issues it frees up time to do other stuff. Better tools
means better first fix possibilities. Thus reduced "handle" times.

Two of my 10 or so calls went over time --- and no one ever picked up the
pace to get me off the phone.
I don't think its unreasonable to expect a ship the size of SPCS to take a
while to turn ---- but it's starting to happen --- for real this time
(verses Laurer's 'promise' a year ago -- when no one was even holding the
wheel to start a turn).
