I have 243 objects 'not my own' on my island in Hikuelo that cannot be returned. I IM'd a Linden employee... he said that it was a bug that was 'fixed' with this newest update. When I told him that I just downloaded the newest SL software a minute ago...he became flustered....and told me...'well it's working for everyone else..FILE A BUG REPORT!'.
When I insisted, saying that it can't be 'already fixed', that perhaps the new update didn't fix it since I was having this issue with my land, he was extremely rude and..with a surprising aggression.
But, I can understand his aggression, if not condone it. He's more likely a product of the CULTURE that is fostered at LL, perhaps. NOT spending TOO much time on your customers. Or any at all...if you can help it.
You see..I ask LINDEN employees to WORK. I try not to use 'live help'..NON paid folks. So..I engage the employees when they're online for direction IF there is an issue. Perhaps this fellow may think that IF he becomes difficult with folk...that that may dissuade his being asked anything from customers. Many of my newbie and oldbie students loathe asking him or any Linden much. They claim that they usually are treated very abruptly. Now, I didnt' single this guy out...he was simply first up on the Linden alphabet listings in the directory. AND ...he's not the only Linden who fails the customer service test. So, I'm not honing in for a kill. Again..I think he and more than a few of the LL folk are products of a company culture, perhaps. One LL representative once said to me, 'Margot, you think THIS customer service is bad? You should go on other online games. It's worst than THIS!'
As for me...I'll continue to contact them...repeatedly if necessary...until I get an answer...NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT THEY ARE. Asking for service..customer service from a PAID EMPLOYEE...is as simple as that.
Again, as for me...I have to wait til the bug is fixed..both staffing and software..until I can finish a rather large design for a customer. NOT A GOOD THING.
