This is the follow up to the earlier post on the email from their PR division. To their credit, they replied. Most of the other companies even fail to acknowledge the repeated emails.
This is a comment posted on the blog entry by one Ms Priya who probably works for them in their PR division. I have no means of ascertaining the facts and is based on assumptioms here. Here is what she has to say:
who the hell do you think you are? Its one thing to be right about something and explain the “crap” offered by companies, but you, you think you are the guy that knows ALL. Tell me why the hell you are sitting in front of some computer and typin this “crap” then? The answer is coz no one will hire you with your load of crap. You are one of those people who dont know how to put things in perspective. You prefer to make issues personal and you dont want to see what others are tying to point you understand. You are one of those people in any organisation that is a liability coz all you do if fart around pretending like you know everything and do no work. Hopefully next time you will have something more substantial to say when u “crap” out a company. you build no authenticity to your case and thats visible from the first comment you have recvd.
She waxes and wanes about me farting all around taking me to be a part of some organisation! Naive. Very naive. Unfortunately, she fails to rectify her grammar which only speaks volumes about the company and it’s hiring policies.
Sometimes, I seem to get a kick out of these kind of comments. I put them in front of you to decide without getting biased about it all. A blog remains a blog; it is an expression of what you feel and is preserve of one’s opinions. If someone from the PR Department of some company is not happy about my opinion, this is what I get!
These companies don’t realise that blogging community as a whole needs to be engaged. I am not sure about the kind of press handouts that these companies give to the mainstream media. Why would they send a half baked truth to a blogger? Then retract the same by claiming that the email attachment was a mistake!
Bottom line is that PR department from Virgin India Mobile needs more education in civil exchange of words instead of claiming that the authors are farts.
hah
She: who the hell do you think you are?
Me: Now, If I were the CEO of Virgin Mobile then I would fire this person who allegedly works for Virgin Mobile. First rule of PR is “Never bad mouth a citizen who has concerns”.
She: but you, you think you are the guy that knows ALL.
Me: Why does she use capital letters? Is she expressing her anger? If so then why can’t she express her anger through sound arguments? Does this mean she is a person who gets emotional and doesn’t know why or can’t express why she gets angry?
She: Tell me why the hell you are sitting in front of some computer and typin this “crap” then?
Me: Maybe she didn’t hear there is something in the world called “Freedom of Expression”. If she knew that then she would have prepared with logical arguments not emotional ones.
She: The answer is coz no one will hire you with your load of crap.
Me: It looks like she hasn’t exercised any rational thought process in typing this. I am still waiting for a sound argument and I don’t think she can provide one.
She: You are one of those people who dont know how to put things in perspective. You prefer to make issues personal and you dont want to see what others are tying to point you understand.
Me: Ok. I am running out of patience for this imbecile. Does she know her perspective? I haven’t seen it from her.
She: You are one of those people in any organisation that is a liability coz all you do if fart around pretending like you know everything and do no work.
Me: I am lost. What is she saying? Farting is a biological process. And if she hasn’t farted then she has a serious problem. She needs to get her ass checked.
She: Hopefully next time you will have something more substantial to say when u “crap” out a company.
Me: I am expecting some substance from you. I haven’t seen any. I assume that you use the words crap and fart profusely. It is sad to see people like you have jobs.
She: you build no authenticity to your case and thats visible from the first comment you have recvd.
Me: God have mercy on this poor soul. She has lost her mind. I don’t think she has the ability to form a single rational thought. She is emotional and she needs help. Please see your shrink.
these pr people dont understand the need of blogs.
since i’ve connected to internet i dont buy any product or service without checking out at blogs or forums
hehe , too funny
“U liability coz u typin crap”. Ironically awesome
im not from Virgin Mobile PR department…I dont have to be to diss you
..im just another blogger who read ur “crap”
I agree with you Doc… they probably don’t realise that the internet is actually a very large channel. They don’t take it seriously. Blogging as a medium has also gained widespread acceptance in India with everybody from housewives to movie stars (Amir Khan) to news channels (CNN-IBN) launching their blogs. News travels fast in the blogosphere and most of the news channels and newspapers are culling stories from the internet. Virgin must get its act together if it wants to be taken seriously.
one blogger attacking another blogger for no solid reason? still a disappointment.
Sheesh, Priya. You need a life. We have no means of ascertaining your identity. In any case, your comments were not warranted for whatever reasons you might have. Not had your periods? Cranky? PMS?
You need to Geno as well as a shrink sweetheart. And as Ramesh says (a very valid point)- to get your ass checked.
probably too late to stop virgin mobile from entering our country. but look at how poorly the virgin mobile stock is doing in the USA (symbol VM). it is a damned lousy business man. why should we let these english nuts earn money off our labour like they did 60+ years ago? tell them to buzz off. they don’t belong here.
also i read an article that showed they steal from small companies (brandport ? it was in fortune or business week or something). they are a bunch of predators led by the master predator richard branson.
Interesting observation Rochi…Can you provide more examples?
Woah!!!! That was fun…Virgin, crap, fart all in one!!!may be she is alone and need some someone!!!
@priya do you want someone to hit on you???
