OK, I’ve read it on the blogs, now I believe it as I’ve seen it on a Gumtree job advert:
“Are you an entrepreneurial CTO (or CTO want-to-be)? do you want to be part of the next facebook/bebo/myspace designed specifically for mobile users? If so, we want to hear from you.”
You call Enterprise Rent-A-Car hire before the local office opens and you get re-routed to the national call centre which provides excellent service. You call later to the local office and no one picks up for the 1 min you could be bothered to hang on.
