    [​IMG] I am curious as to how peoples feeling about the corporations that were part of some of the biggest accounting scandals in history have changed since some time and circumstances have changed. Since it is a company currently in the news, and I have some knowledge of it, I am going to use MCI/WorldCom.

    The question is as the title states.

    Darkwolf ... I used to work there, and trust me, its worse than what the press talked about.

    I was personally lied to and robbed of some serious money (they stole more than 99% of Americans make in a year).

    I know some of the executives who are still with the company, and they are not that bright.

    I have customers who I sold Worldcom service to, who still call me and tell me about the issues they face. For example, one hospital was without local dial tone for 4 days ... and their account rep refused to return phone calls.

    Beyond all that, my wife :slap: switched our local service to MCI's Neighborhood plan, and they screwed up both the billing and the service.

    *pant* *pant*

    Please people ... use Sprint, AT&T or ANYBODY else.
