The UK Bank, ‘TSB’, faces hefty regulatory fines for what’s been described as one of the worst tech problems to hit the country’s banking space in recent years. 2 million customers were locked out of their accounts for six days! #OMG heads will roll, fines and compensations will be delivered without mercy. Really this is truly uneblievable. All the advertising spend can never repair a customer service blunder like this one.
I’m not being anti-social, maybe just anti-Facebook. I’ve decided to put Facebook on pause for a while. How long? I have no idea. I had already removed the app from my mobile devices and I can truly say I haven’t missed it.
I’m not rage quitting or culling my connections. I value all of them hugely and hope they will continue to benefit from their activities on Facebook. I know some of them have managed to be hugely successful as a result, long may it continue.
My decision to put things on pause here have not been decided overnight, I reflected on it for a quite a while. Basically I no longer enjoy the experience here and by learning more about Facebook’s practices to program us has meant that I don’t value the organisation and what they stand for.
Therefore instead of moaning about it, I prefer to move away from them for a while. My views may change, who knows, for now though, cheerio to my Facebook connections and some, maybe half a dozen, friends.
You can catch me on LinkedIn and Medium for any meaningful conversations.
