Calling Activision

[atec123]

I don't want be an un-believer, but does public relations deal with employees?

It strange we should call there instead phoning board members or even executives members of Activision.

However, hopefully this will archieve something.

Talk to waltz.  I think she has been calling around and has been talking to a bunch of people in activision.  Seems like it would be in this thread.  But it might also be in the C&D thread.

I have spoken to at least three people inside Activision. I have been digging for board member numbers but those are harder to find. Public Relations are present at mettings depending on the company set up. When I get a hold of someone again, I will make sure to ask if our situation is being talked about, might not get an answer but I will keep asking them.

For a general idea about public relations is to view them as a ocean buoy. They are constantly testing the water, temperature depth. TSL fans are a part of the ocean, we are rocking these buoys around. Keep emailing and calling. I'm sure we can get through.

So far nothing worthwhile yielded from the phone calls, but I think they know we're here, and that's what matters.

Message left in "public relations"'s answering machine.

I think they're having trouble with their telephone system-- the first time I called I hit 0 for operator and was transfered to nowhere- silence for like a minute or two until I hung up.  Second time I asked the operator for public relations and was transfered to nowhere.  but third time lucky, I reached an answering machine!  So you may have to try multiple times before you get somewhere.

I think they are getting fed up with us. They won't even transfer my calls anymore, the operator says she is have trouble with her headset then my call mysteriously drops. I haven't gotten through in a couple of days.

I think they are getting fed up with us.

So now would be a good time to point out that if they would just LET US TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THE C&D, we won't bother them anymore!

She may just recognize your number when it comes up on caller id.   Or your voice!

I'd offer to take over the major phoning work but I don't know what-all you've been doing so I don't think I could.

at least that means they are noticing us.

Seems kinda illegal if she is just hanging up on you, but I coudn't possibly know.

I think they're going to be noticing us very soon.  Consider it my top priority this upcoming week.

Me too!  *has an infinite range of ideas to choose from*  It's definitely going to be a very creative week!

Today at work I noticed a book about how companies should/do deal with complaints.  Reading the back (while boss wasn't looking) looked like it also had info about how to make companies LISTEN to your complaints.  It might be worth checking the library for books like this, or the internet.  There's probably a lot of info out there about dealing with companies... there's probably also a lot of BAD info on the internet, so think before trying anything you read on a website.

The book I saw at work: http://www.amazon.com/Send-This-Jerk-Bedbug-Letter/dp/0898158117/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271648558&sr=8-1  I may buy it next week just to see if there's anything useful in it.  Employee discount at a thrift store = only a buck or two, I can get anything!

That's the best kind of week!

It's defiantly not going to be boring!  . Good Luck with what ever you decide.
