Well, it sounds like a good story but I'm not sure it is true. I don't think a call centre employee would be able to check if the call they were on was being recorded or not.
The whole point of call centre calls being recorded is to measure employee performance, if employees were free to monitor which calls were recorded and which weren't, then the whole exercise would be useless.
Well, the #occupysf movement is still kicking, fwiw - GIFY, don't want to give them a link!
Other parts of this story don't add up either - the bank opened two credit lines for someone with no job? Really? If the banks are still doing sh*t like this with FDIC and implicit Treasury backing, then WTF?
The scandal is probably not that #occupy is scamming, but rather that their actually pretty well funded and open accounts in their own name, with donor cash...
Agree with Fay and Lewy. This is another, of a long string lately, of the "false, but accurate" meme. Parables imagined by writers, with agendas (distraction) or without (just want attention). These stories are intended to be warm and fuzzy, or make you laugh (as if the issue really isn't all that ... when it really is all of that and more).
I laughed at the story too, just like RadioMatt did ... then I thought, "wait a minute" ...too much like an MTV skit to be real. And like Lewy said ...banks still giving out credit without a shred of credit worthiness? Uh, oh.
This is just another form of "floating" a policy idea, particularly when it involves agency "rule making" versus legislative action, and then backtracking temporarily based upon popular response. Witness the Dept of Labor's recently announced prohibitive child labor farm family new rules (actually in print at the GPO)... that was backtracked yesterday by Obamessiah ... it is an election year ya' know. Is centralized federal intervention by diktat a threat to family farmers? Ask some Russian Kulaks, if you can find any alive.
Tell a fuzzy story with that softens a serious issue with feigned humor, or float an absurd ignorant "rule" or policy to see how it polls ...samo samo. Meanwhile the serious issue is still serious and the ignorant policy rule is still on the agenda, with different "timing."
We must get rid of this administration, and every appointed czar and agency executive derived from it ... the latter is almost the most important, clean of the track stink.
Need to add that Lewy is also correct that there has to be a well heeled funding source for the #Occupy groups. I have a fair knowledge of logistics, at national and global levels, civilian and military, and know for certain that the #Occupy movement could not last a week with out such funding.
