That’s got to sting
Barclays bank, who announced £7 billion profits this year, have been fined a whopping £50,000 for making creepy phonecalls. That’ll learn ‘em.
‘As a result, we offer a full apology for any inconvenience and distress to our customers that these calls caused,’ said a Barclays drone. Not, you’ll notice however, for the ‘inconvenience and distress to our call centre workers’ whose being treated like shit in automated call centres led to the problem of ’silent calls’ in the first place.
Still, 50 grand, eh?
