Well, if you could bullshit a couple million employers into taking pay cut after pay cut by pretending there was a crisis while everyone on C-Level gets to rake in bonus after bonus, I bet everyone at C-Level would agree that you deserve those billions, too.
First of all, never call your product a "competitive product". You know what this means? Essentially what you're saying is "the others are just as shitty, so why try harder?" Another thing is that the message is not what you say but what your audience hears. It's nice that you feel like your customer has a seat at your table, but this does not arrive at your customers. They do not feel that way. And if you care about how your customers think about you, this is what matters.
One thing is certain: Goodwill goes a long way, and it takes a long, long time to rebuild from ruins. And let's be honest here, Comcast's goodwill is in the gutter. You have a long uphill battle in front of you if you really care.
Where's the irony? If anything it's ironic that the only part of the constitution of the USA that today still has some relevance (unlike, say, the 3rd) that people will defend tooth, nail and claw is also the most irrelevant one: The second.
Have you noticed how first, fourth and fifth were simply thrown out the window and nobody gave half a shit? These are, by the way, the ones that are most likely going to affect you as a normal citizen. But they were de facto eliminated without any kind of outcry or protest.
But dare to think about pondering somehow dealing with the second and you find half of the US crying bloody murder.
And yes, the second amendment has been rendered redundant a long, long while ago. Why do you think your government doesn't bother trying to remove it? You have the right to a gun. Do you think that means that you're by any stretch of imagination a threat to your government or that you can keep it "in check" that way? I hold your gun and raise you an army. Even something like the national guard would be enough to eradicate any kind of opposition you and your buddies could possible represent.
But that's America for you. Fighting over petty rubbish while simply ignoring the important bits in life. You can argue yourself into hysteria over, say, abortion, gun laws or the origin of the world, but let your government get away with any and all decisions that really matter.
You people are really the perfect people any dictator could want.
What people want is to return to the good old days when America was great. Remember the times? The 60s? 70s? When there was plenty of jobs around because all those blacks and Mexicans wouldn't muscle into your area and steal your jobs? Well, now that your little Tommy can still go to a school where he has internet access and Janeeca and Akeem won't have any in their school, Tommy gets a head start again.
Funny enough, I was actually sent as a consultant to a former employer of mine. Told them the same I told them when I was working there, but suddenly it was the revelation from god instead of just a disgruntled engineer complaining.
It's true, management equates the value of your advice with the amount you cost...
But of course I'll train them! I'll go into every detail informing them about the Slebit and Nifdit adjustments that we do in the Sedurok Environment, so we can easily interface from there with the INKFUUL. That's the technology you're familiar with, right? I mean, you don't want me to tell my current and your future boss that you don't understand what I'm talking about here, do you?
Label me what you want. I think there's still some room between "fascist" and "SJW" on the label pile behind me, just toss it there, I'll ignore later.
In the meantime, let's get on with a sensible discussion. Content is what matters. If reality offends someone, I somehow don't think the problem is on your end.

But since there is no evolution it's a clear sign that god exists and that he just now so created that bacterium for ... reasons.
Stop asking weird questions and get on your knees, dammit!
Pneumatic Lupine, sounds like a cool name for a metal band.

Hey, if I get crap cheaper if I am from Bangladesh, VPNs there will become the next big thing. They practically pay for themselves.
Two can play that game. If one side starts tweaking the variables, expect the other to play along.
At least the outcome will be far more useful to the average person.
And less damaging, too.
Should've gone into finance, embezzle some millions and pay a few thousands as a fine instead. Far more profitable.

So the lack of complaints is simply due to people noticing that complaining only wastes their time without resulting in any measurable improvement?
Guess why most people don't vote anymore...
So instead of telling you to "go to hell" they inform you that they "want you to have a warm, fuzzy feeling"?
Comcast offering a better product cheaper?
What hellhole would you have to live in for this to be even possible?
Complaints are down by 25% in areas where a competitor opened shop and claims they took a market share of about 30ish percent from Comcast...
With that bullshit going on around your airports, certainly not.

It was a joke on him trying excessive MAC language...
C'mon, on old /. that would've gone to +5 funny.
Oh, didn't notice they fired the tech support, I mean, CEO (sorry, they look all the same to me...). Who's running the show now, a Chinese guy?
Well... yes, it is.

Just like it used to be in the good old days.
Sanitation Engineer? Try "Facility Management".
Yes, still mopping floors and cleaning up shit. But you're management now!
To you, to me, to anyone who knows there IS a difference.
Sadly, neither HR nor management know that.
Well, that fish rots from the head down.
If everything fails, break his fingers and retrain him as a consultant.
Sorry, but if you claim that you're a college trained IT professional, I DO expect you to be able to write code on a sheet of paper that will compile.
Else it's time to find out whether you can return your degree and get your tuition fee back.

What's your problem with the purples? They're fine, decent people once you get to know them.
The polka dotted ones, though... run. Run for your life!
