@porterit_ A table worth 40k has been damaged due to faulty deceptive reassembly. And the only "goodwill" shown by @porterit_ after not taking ownership of the messed-up, deceptive, faulty reassembly is just 300 bucks 🤷‍♂️

[Athitya Kumar @athityakumar]

@porterit_ Update: Ticket got auto-closed by @porterit_ after extending absolutely no support, and repeating the very same "sorry but we can't help" script. I'm no longer surprised or disappointed by this customer "support" from @porterit_ :)

@Lenskart_com It's been another 8 minutes since I shared the mobile number and order ID, @Lenskart_com 🫡

Why do you even wanna put a charade of caring about customers, if you can't back it up with actual customer support?

Neither surprised, nor disappointed 😶

Dear @Olacabs,

I would order food if I wanted to. Just lemme book my Cab without popups ffs. 🤦‍♂️

Oh and also, stop pausing the other audio apps when I open Ola. I'm opening Ola to book commute, not to hear Ola sounds while booking them. Know your place please. 🙂

Yours truly.

@etrade, why don't we have an "Export/Download Schedule FA" option to make tax filing automated and easy for all Resident Indians?

We have so many Indian engineers getting RSUs / ESOPs / ESPPs coming via E-trade, along with many others who're directly investing as well!

How to make your CA hate you: Invest in a crypto SIP.

These are the kind of features that're tough to justify putting engineering bandwidth, or to measure objectively as a success metric.

But for all the folks who made this happen at @SlackHQ - thanks for challenging them Monday blues! 🫡

[Athitya Kumar @athityakumar]

And I'm additionally bothered by the inconsistency in using snake_case for mobile_number and PascalCase for the other fields 🫡
