Funny story..
I got reffered by one of my mates dads, to his friend, bit of a favour to set up a company for me and my mate Ben (Pty Ltd - co-directors, etc,etc). So anyway, I ring up this guy (his name is Guy) and give him all the necessary details. His like "yeah, should be all done in week". Cool.
Then after a week and no phone call I decided to give him a call... "Yeah, thats one of my jobs to look into this morning". I accepted that, fine, maybe he was busy during the week. 2 weeks go past, no call from Guy, I decide to give him another call. Not in, so I leave my mobile number with his secretary. No call again.
Ok, I'm starting to feel like I'm being ignored or some ****. So I get Ben to give him a call. Again, not in. He asks the secretary for Guy's mobile number so that we can ring him directly, she's "sorry I can't give that info out", so Ben says, well we feel like we are being ignored and we are gonna start losing our customers if we cant supply them our services. So she says "I'll stick an urgent notice on the message" He says, "fine, I'll ring back at 4pm to see if he's in yet".
So 5 minutes later, Ben gets a call from Guy, who starts ranting, "How dare you harras my staff telling them your gonna ring every 5 minutes until you get an answer...rah rah rah.... GET F*CKED!" Ben is like" What?!" And Guy says, "GET F*CKED!, In 5 years of working I've had 2 weeks off, I'm trying to have a couple of days off, GET F*CKED!" So Ben is shocked totally at the complete utter lack of professionalism, meanwhile Guy asks Ben whos involved in the company, to which he replies himself and me. Guy asks if my mate is involved, Ben says "no", Guy says "Well then, GET F*CKED!" and HANGS UP THE PHONE!!
Can you believe that ****! Talk about lack of professionalism, I just wanted a "sorry I couldn't return your messages earlier, I've been really busy" call, but no.
So anyway, I think my mates dad is gonna get his firm to help me out. Gonna cost a little more, but I think if I get treated better, its worthwhile.
Sorry about the length.
