    Yea that's kind of the point though isn't it?... we are forced into it, even those of us who despise it, because it is what clients want, so we are in fact part of the problem.
    Thanks for your input and im glad I could give you a laugh.
    No, we are not forced into it. Make a stand an refuse to be bullied into receiving half baked messages on WhatsApp.
    I do not want to deal with unprofessional people who are too lazy to send a proper Purchase Order or request for a quote.

    I see that some Body Corps now also send out these lazy half baked messages. It's OK if it is just a general communique such as "there will be load shedding from 10 am" etc, but if it is e.g. a request for approval to pay or do something, it has to follow the formal procedures. Businesses and all juristic bodies require a paper trail to be kept as record of transactions. That is why WA is crap in a business environment.

    Yes, I am old fashioned, but the customer is not always right. If you are too lazy to do the paperwork, I'm not going to do it for you.
    Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...

    This isn't fair on @New Perspective studio - He said that AS AN IT COMPANY he is forced into enabling the service because that is what his market wants. He also said that he personally despises it.
