The Lounge - Geek Squad..hmmm..? posted in the Community forums; Someone mailed this to me the other day, so I thought I would share it;
The 10 Page Geek Squad Confession - "Stealing Customers' Nudie Pics Was An Easter Egg ...
Geek Squad Gouges "As many computer technicians know completing a malware removal takes more than 24 hours just for scans. In order to meet turn times of less than 24 hours we were told to complete work quickly, not double check our work and not complete full scans."
Geek Squad Charges $415 Dollars To Replace A Hard Drive; Makes Customer Retrieve Data Files Himself "It seems that despite the fact that Geek Squad bills itself as a friendly alternative to scary computer repair places who'll rip you off, they're not even as good as your friend at work. Maybe O. would have been better off if he'd just offered his friend $250.00 if he could get the computer to work."
Court Transcript Of "Peek Squad" Agent's No-Contest Plea "...the court transcript detailing former Geek Squad Agent Hao Kuo Chi "no-contest" plea in the case of his alleged setting up a cameraphone while on call in a customer's house and recording a young woman taking a shower."
Geek Squad City Tell-All VS Founder Of Geek Squad "Chris J, the ex-employee, alleges that Geek Squad City techs receive little training and are recruited from fast food counters. He says the techs have no access to technical manuals for your computer. Repairs are often done by "shotgun approach" where they "spray" your computer with parts in the hopes that will fix the problem, he says. Superglue is used to make repairs. No one gets trained in the on-site tools needed for doing component level repair. Needless to say, Robert doesn't quite agree with all that."
A friend of Chris Pirillo ,Kathy asked for a job there and without any questions about her tech experience and in about 3 hours they called her back and said yes and she was part of the geek squad. They probably don't have any real techs there or very few.
We are better I would love to challenge there team of techs with our staff we have some very bright staff here in the forum and atleast I would like to think they do the right thing no like these jokers very bad
