2830319467 634c5c8316 AT&T Employee Falls Victim to the Voicemail Trap



It is like the old adage says, “I’ve learned many things, and a lot of things I’ve learned the hard way.”  It seems, my friends that people simply refuse to learn from the mistakes of others, and therefore learn the hard way about the implications of a poorly thought out voicemail.  Week after week, it seems, I am writing about this very topic.  Yet, week after week, there is at least one more tale of a foolish individual learning his or her lesson the hard way.


This week it becomes clear that even those closely associated with the inner workings of phones and voicemail is not immune to the “hot water” that results from recording tasteless voicemail messages.   AT&T- the company- was forced to issue an apology statement to a single customer this week after an employee left the man a message that went a bit too far.


It seems Mr. Giorgio Galante was growing tired of issues he was having with the not-so-inexpensive iPhone.  So, he took it upon himself to write to the CEO of AT&T.  He has been documented as saying, “ I wasn’t threatening in any way …,” which is likely the reason the man was caught off guard when he found a message on his voicemail that threatened a cease and desist letter should he continue communication with CEO Randall Stephenson.  The message was left by an employee, who is known only as “Brent.” Whether or not Brent is still an employee of AT&T is not know, but the company did come forward to publicly apologize for the poor customer service, adding that it “strives to provide our customers with easy ways to have their questions addressed.”



It appears that Brent missed that memo, as well as the other posts I have written regarding the consequences when one records a message without considering the implications.

     It has fallen to us, to defend Jerusalem, and we have made our preparations as well as they can be made. None of us took this city from Muslims. No Muslim of the great army now coming against us was born when this city was lost. We fight over an offence we did not give, against those who were not alive to be offended. What is Jerusalem? Your holy places lie over the Jewish temple that the Romans pulled down. The Muslim places of worship lie over yours. Which is more holy? 
    The wall?
    The Mosque?
    The Sepulchre? 
    Who has claim? 
    No one has claim.
    All have claim!
    We defend this city, not to protect these stones, but the people living within these walls. ~balian from the movie kingdom of heaven :)

    It actually is quite ignorant to douche when you are trying to conceive. How can you have a problem with such a true statement when lies are the norm? The only problem is that anyone who cannot figure this out on their own should probably not have children. Tough love is condescending. Life is mean, get over it! :)
