I'm getting tired of what is either bad data, or people just not caring about their jobs.  To quote Moss 'I've sent an email, it's fine...'  Not bothering to go beyond their first google result and calling it good.  Why can't people take pride in their jobs anymore?

Dunn and Bradstreet has the contact for our company listed as someone who has never worked here, and they want to charge us to update their info.  Circular file cabinet for anything from them.

Paypal just called looking for someone who has never worked here.

A police department in Massachusetts (we are in Illinois)  Left us a voicemail asking us to remove our vehicle from their street.  He left me the VIN and Registration number of the vehicle, but did not leave an area code with his callback number, he Blocked his CID.  I had to get the RPID info from our phone provider to track down his department to tell them that we're not who he's looking for.  Why did he not actually start with the vehicle registration info instead of googling for the name that was on the side of the van and calling the first result?  i fell like the police would have access to that data.

The FBI emailed me a Subpoena for ip address records for IP addresses that was not ours, but another company with a similar sounding name.

Not to mention companies applying payments to wrong circuits, so 1 circuit has a 5 month credit on it, and they shut a 2nd circuit off for non-payment with no letters or calls.

I was talking to someone in the airline industry, they said the biggest problem they have with new employees is perfection.  The new employee will say 'it's fine, it works 95% of the time'  to which they have to be reminded that someone will die if that 5% comes up.

And don't get be started on how Bloated all software is now.

I guess I'm just getting too old and curmudgeonly and these young whippersnappers just don't understand what doing a good job is.
