Symantec CEO Says Bad Service Fix Only Temporary
Lucas123 writes "Symantec's CEO John Thompson says the company is still struggling with its consolidated ERP system and that it has only thrown bodies and not technology at the post-Veritas buyout issues that created poor customer service. 'I've kind of lost track where we are timing-wise...but we threw an awful lot of head count at this wait-time problem. Wait times from their peak of well over an hour are down to now under two minutes,' he said."
Dear customer, We apologize for the accidental good service. We promise we will make it bad again as soon as possible. Sincerely, Mr. Symantec

A Slashdot post predicting or implying the impending reduction of the poster's karma due to that post shall be moderated up to a degree such that the total karma gained from the post is the inverse of that which the poster predicted would be lost. I formally name this the Law of Reverse Slashdot Karma Prediction.
One company that makes horrible products themselves run software made by a company that makes horrible products.
It all makes sense now.
Sure, telephone wait times might be down to two minutes, but it still takes about an hour for Norton AV to actually DO anything
