Well, my commissioner took it upon himself to get involved with what he thought was a slow response (that I couldn't speed up but he could because he is a big shot). It has ended up in Oracle finding that they had been giving us $50,000 worth of stuff that we supposedly hadn't paid for and caused us to buy all new CPU's to avoid furthere costs. However, the stuff that they said we didn't pay for, they had actually told us verbally was part of what we had paid for. So let the boss fix it for you.

Don't hold back now, Stephen, tell us how you really feel! ;-) Though I don't have too many recent horror stories, there have been occasions where I found my TAR in "Waiting on Customer" status with no explanation as to why. When I asked why it was, and what they were waiting on from me, the analyst couldn't tell me. So I made him change it. If my boss looks and sees a TAR on an important issue in "Waiting on Customer" for long periods of time, he comes down on me. Got to keep those analysts in mine....;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
