Now, I honestly would have printed her whole retort here, had it been the slightest bit witty or informative. Guess what. It wasn’t.

In fact what it was, was laborious to read, so I’m saving a lot of people a lot of time they otherwise would have never got back. Believe me. It was the entire submission from http://ihaterogers.ca/thescoop.htm interspersed with her comments, corrections and notations. Dreadfully dull.

Attached File Synopsis:

Our submitter begins with:

I have read your recent letter to "IhateRogers.ca" and think it a little weird, if Rogers is in the wrong and you are in the right, why you didn’t have the guts to sign your name on your rant. (I have listed your letter below, with some corrections, because you obviously cannot spell! And some rebuttals.)

His spelling does not meet your standards? Look above in your second paragraph…how do you spell "website"? If you’re going to take the time to spell check some one else’s work, please spell check your own.

And to clarify he did in fact sign his name to his rant. A choice was made to remove his name for ambiguity. He is now officially ihateROGERS.ca’s "DEEP THROAT ".

Our submitter continues with:

In this color, you’ll find my corrections.

IN THIS COLOR, YOU’LL FIND MY OWN OPINIONS.

An e-mail with a text legend…how sophisticated.

Our submitter ends with:

PERSONALLY, AND I KNOW I SAID IT ABOVE, I THINK YOU ARE JUST PISSED OFF YOU GOT FIRED FROM A COMPANY YOU OBVIOUSLY HAD NO PROBLEMS WORKING FOR. 3 _ YEARS IS A LONG TIME TO STAY WITH A COMPANY YOU DON’T LIKE. MAYBE YOU JUST KNEW YOU LUCKED OUT GETTING HIRED BY THEM, AND CAN’T GET ANOTHER JOB PAYING AS GOOD AS THEY DO. BUT I GUESS THIS IS SIMPLY MY OPINIONS (should be, "MY OPINION", singular or an alternative would be, "THESE ARE SIMPLY MY OPINIONS"). I COPIED THE WEBISTE (you spelled it wrong again) ON THIS BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD HEAR FROM CUSTOMERS WHO LOVE ROGERS. AND I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, THEY TREAT ME WELL BECAUSE MY CELL PHONE PLAN MUST BE ONE OF THE MORE EXPENSIVE ONES, BUT NO, 20$ PER MONTH, AND I GET GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE WHEN I CALL IN. MAYBE, IT’S BECAUSE WHEN I CALL IN, I DON’T TRY TO BITE THE HEAD OFF OF THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE. I FEEL SORRY FOR THE ROGERS REPRESENTATIVE WHO HAS TO GET YOU ON THE PHONE. I’D LOVE TO HEAR A RECORDING ON HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE WHEN YOU CALL IN.

RESPECTFULLY,

Nicole (look, I put my name in!!!!)

A FATEFUL (I think you meant "FAITHFUL") ROGERS CUSTOMER

Nicole, when it comes to spelling and grammar, let me put this so you will understand it; peeple hoo liv inn glas howses shoodint throe stonze.

You took the time to give your opinion and that’s great. However, your use of capital letters is annoying, and your retorts made me sleepy. You tried to point out his bad grammar and spelling and yours is at the same level…only you used spell check. I’m dreading having to peruse the second e-mail you sent me.

Keeping with your love of Shakespeare, let me close with this:

Subject: Fired From Rogers - You are just bitter

Hi,

I came across this website, and have determined that Mr/Mrs. "Fired From Rogers" is nothing but a bitter idiot.

It takes a lot for someone to be fired from Rogers, chances are, you were fired because you a) were always late or sick OR b) were just the sort of moron you talk about in your email about rogers service.

Let's make one thing clear........ALL yes ALL telecommunciations companies are the same, it doesn't matter where in the world you live (and I have done this job in many countries).  What people need to understand is......IT IS A BUSINESS!!!! how many of the readers of this website would credit people's accounts month after month to a zero balance???  If you owned a company...would you make any money? NO. You all should be intelligent enough to discern that.

As for "FIRED FROM ROGERS", he is full of shit and just a bantering person who lost there job, probably rightfully so.  Yes, such a thing as "FELIX" exists, and yes it does have a listing of any billing problems that occur, but it is not a database of crap to screw the customer.  Quite the opposite.  It exists to assist customers and people taking calls.  There is much much much more info in there!  Call Bell, Telus or FIdo........they all have "Databases" too.  So does "McDonalds" for christ's sake, people get a grip and stop living with an entitlement mentatlity!!!!

By the way........FIRED FROM ROGERS...........you listed your fired date on the web......dumbass.......go and check the confidentiality agreement that you signed when hired.........go and check your "package" and ask yourself if you really want anymore money from the company. Obviously not.  So, unless you were fired with less than 2 years in, your "severence package" could be voided simply from this posting.............hmm. wonder why you are where you are?

So you have "determined that ‘Fired From Rogers’ (FFR) is a bitter idiot". You know, they have yet to invent an instrument powerful enough to measure YOUR level of stupidity.

FFR was essentially fired over compensating some billing disputes that required compensation due to ROGERS’ own negligence. So that makes FFR an idiot how exactly?? I have corresponded with FFR and he/she is an intelligent person, wrongfully dismissed with a legitimate beef. And as far as being bitter, doing your job to the best of your ability and actually helping customers is NOT something you’re supposed to lose your job for. Who wouldn’t be resentful about that??

The only well-informed comment you made above is, "It takes a lot for someone to be fired from Rogers". And the reason for that is they will hire anyone with a pulse and a voice box to man the phones. FFR broke their unwritten policy by actually helping customers and made billing corrections that were justified.

With your verification of "FELIX" and reference to their severance package I will have to assume you are just another straight spined, talking ROGERS monkey who can’t bear to hear something negative about their employer. So just keep your thumb up your ass and your head in the clouds and when they say, "Jump!" don’t forget to say, "How high?". And you may want to stop visiting this site if people ragging on ROGERS upsets you. There are more than 130 rants posted so far and something tells me, they’re not going to stop coming in.

"Hi, thank you for calling ROGERS. How can I NOT help you today?"
