Has Anyone called the best buy complaint line
and if you have, have you gotten anything out of it like a gift card or something.
cuz i was in best buy yesterday to exchange my ipod because my battery was all f'd up. and i missed the 30 exchange policy by 1
day i have the service plan. but its ridiculous that they couldnt just give me a new one instead of having to send it out to get a new
battery. plus the fact that they gave me the run around instead of telling me this right away. they told me to go to the pda/wireless
dept,
then the geek squad, then customer service (where i stood in line for 45 minutes) then back to the geek squad.
i was extremly pissed off

FROM complaint hotlines to diversity programs, Merrill Lynch & Co. has done plenty to battle the woman problem that dogs Wall Street. But for all its efforts, the world's biggest securities firm has seen negligible results in its hiring of women as stockbrokers. And now Merrill is watching the issue come alive again in a battle that's shedding light on glitches in the system. It's happening in testimony at the arbitration hearing of discrimination charges filed by Nancy Thomas, a former broker at Merrill for close to 18 years. Thomas and seven other class representatives negotiated the resolution of Cremin vs. Merrill Lynch, a class-action discrimination lawsuit that was settled in 1998 without providing any money to be shared by the 912 female brokers who filed claims. Averting a potentially embarrassing sex-discrimination trial at the last minute, Morgan Stanley agreed to pay $54 million to settle claims from dozens of women who accused the firm of systematically denying them promotions and pay increases, and promised to institute several steps to ensure equal opportunity in the future. The big securities firm denied wrongdoing in its settlement with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which was wrapped up minutes before opening arguments were set to begin in the discrimination trial in a federal courthouse in downtown Manhattan. Besides the financial settlement -- which includes a $12 million payment to the woman whose complaints initiated the case -- Morgan Stanley agreed as part of a three-year consent decree to hire an outsider to monitor its hiring, pay and promotion practices for gender bias, field employee complaints and enhance its anti-discrimination training.
