This was expressed by another poster in another thread but in a personalised manner. So I thought I would start a thread on it.
I have heard commentators on the radio outraged that their bank, or the Department of Social Welfare, or an airline is not answering the phone to them promptly.
People should understand that these organisations are being deluged with callers while at the same time, their productivity is disrupted due to remote working and people off sick.
In many cases, these Departments have set up new products and procedures to deal with these problems and so the staff will not be fully familiar with all the details.
So be patient. Wait for the crisis to pass and normal service will resume.
