They know exactly what they’re doing. They’re never ignorant of this shit, it’s 100 percent intentional. So much for not being evil.

It’s the average they calculated they’d get in order to allocate the minimum budget and personnel to what the “normal” calculation would be and only inconvenience the customer when it rose about that amount.

BonesOfTheMoon , to lemmyshitpost in math checks out

I got 47 calls in the span of the morning alone today. I am always higher than average.

Aww :'(

But did they try?

and failed miserably

DogPeePoo ,

I wish he was up on her shoulders

burrito82 , to lemmyshitpost in math checks out

Well, aaaactually, don’t they have more than average calls half of the time?

dogsoahC ,

Not necessarily. They could be constantly ever so lightly above the average value, but then once in a while, a really low value comes along and drags the average down. What you’re thinking of is the median.

BehindTheBarrier ,

Easily achievable if you only take calls in working hours. Then all working hours will have more than average calls per hour for a day.

Natanael ,

You can also continously have above average per worked hour for the staff if you keep firing people, because then calls per person keeps going up

then_three_more ,

Maybe they’re taking the average for each day over the whole 24 hours, but the call centre only operates from 9:30-4:30.

Michal ,

Yeah, like at night it falls down to 0

Railcar8095 ,

That would be true for the median, but not for the average

Jikiya , to lemmyshitpost in math checks out

It’s a higher average than the amount of calls they had 150 years ago.

realitista , (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in math checks out

Yeah but it sounds a lot better than “We’ve pursued a policy of understaffing to save costs”.

chevy9294 , to lemmyshitpost in math checks out

Actually you can. If you get 10 calls a day and then only 1 day 9 calls the average is a little less than 10, which means most of the time you do experience more than average.

He didn’t say “most of the time” though. He said “always.”

“….so please hold onto that phone with your technically above average number of hands and we’ll help you soon.”

BurnedDonut , to lemmyshitpost in math checks out

Have you ever played Magic the Gathering Arena? Because they use the same algorithm I swear on everything I hold dear and valuable to me.

zxqwas , to lemmyshitpost in math checks out

Technically true If they close the phone line at night.

There's an app, and I'm sure others like it, called Tidy Panel that lets you block notifications based on the content they have. The free version let's you block a handful, but you need premium for unlimited. For you, the free might be enough.

littlewonder ,

Also, the BuzzKill app does this and it’s beautiful with Material design.

Natanael ,

Tasker also have the autonotification plugin which let you set any rules and actions you want on notifications

Also: “Please listen closely as our menus have recently changed.”

because I call the customer service line of any one company so much, that I have memorized their touch tone menu

9 months into my daily call to Maytag: Excuse me, babe. I have to walk into the other room so I can listen. Apparently, they’ve changed their phone menu.

then_three_more ,

I had so many issues with Scottish Power that I pretty much did. Fucking useless company.
