My company is looking to reintroduce a "three strikes and you're out" approach to dissuade the volume of repeat and serial complainers that we encounter (where evidence of the issue cannot be provided or if we have info to suggest the customer may otherwise be lying). Any suggestions on processes or strategies we could implement?

You said "reintroduce", so that means your company had that policy before. I'm curious, how much success have you had with it in the past?

Do you guys have a way to put notes on a clients profile? A note in all caps might do it if so.

Sounds like you’ll have to rely on and trust your customer care representatives and if you have reservations to go back over calls or confirm with the representative. They’ll be responsible for taking notes and following procedure for the accounts. Do the proper training to identify appropriate situations where this is applicable.

If the customer is calling/emailing/chatting about the same things more than 3 times they're labeled as chronic. That means all their calls are rerouted to escalations for final resolution which usually means the customer has to leave a voice-mail message and a rep calls them back when there's progress on resolving the problem.

If there were no practical obstacles whatsoever, what area(s) of law OTHER than your current practice area would you want to explore, and why?

I’ve been so specialized for so long I’m not even sure how to answer this question for myself. Once upon a time I was somewhat interested in tax but I’m worried that’s where fun goes to die. I kinda dig admin law, although that’s cheating a bit because I work with a federal agency.

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?

How did you request it so it seems beneficial? Thanks 🙏🏼

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.
