my cousin was a case manager she used to get death threats and stuff, she has a business degree, she still works for them but drives around doing something else now.

i got a letter a few years ago saying i owed tham $3700!!!!! so i paid it in full.
then last year after having nothing to do with them for years i get a letter from their collections unit saying i owe them $3987.65 ???????
and when i ring i get told to ring the collections unit, then they say they cant sort it as ill have to contact the branch that sent the letter so ring my case manager . . .

Hey my DP use to work at the WINZ contact centre!!...so I know for a fact that not all of their staff are duh...The majority of the letters are done and sent out automatically, not one person writing them up and sending them out, so it would have been a computer fault, sometimes even Government departments have their flaws lol. As for the CSRs taking the calls, of course you're not always going to get the best speaker, or most competent, many training CSRs are on the phones with a "buddy" overseeing the call and it definitely aint just talking on the phones...anyone who's ever worked in a call centre knows that. At winz  it is an extremely demanding job, very abusive, with little thanks. I know of some extremely horrendous stories that CSRs have had to deal with, I even know of one CSR being stabbed and killed by a client while walking to his car, totally at random but because he had his name badge on he was the target. So give them a break.

PMSL at "She is eligible for $1406.31 but there is one catch; she needs his death certificate to get the cash.  And even though they have been married for 60 years, there are some things her husband refuses to do."

 

Man some people at WINZ are idiots.  I've recently had first hand experience when I was helping MIL sort out her pension after her husband died.  The woman I dealt with was plain and simply thick and so caught up in procedural excuses that she didn't realise she actually made no sense at all.  I would have complained about her if I didn't think it would mean she'd be unwilling to help MIL.
