After all of my posts here about DPA, I can't believe that I got a warning in my new call centre job for making a DPA mistake  The customer had verified their account details and security questions through the voice recognition system, so I answered the call "Good morning, you're through to Peter. Can I confirm I'm speaking with Mrs. Bloggs, please?". Apparently, I needed to confirm the customer's full name, contrary to my training notes and sample call recordings. I'm fed up of companies interpreting the DPA in so many different ways. Apparently, that minor mistake is a serious breach of the law and we could be fined for it. I just recall the company having to keep data secure under the DPA, and I'm sure that any judge in the land would agree that the customer confirming their account number, full name, first line of their address, postal code, date of birth and amount of last payment to the automated system was sufficient for this purpose.

I spent today being 3 different people so I just didn't have time to get involved  Never mind, if we had special Fridays like last weeks all the time, well, they wouldn't be special then would they?? _________________The Official "Saucy Minx"  This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

It sounds highly likely that whoever told you that was wrong. It's quite common for people who don't actually understand what they're talking about to behave as if they do, especially when it comes to supervisors or "team leaders". While there are many highly competent people in such positions, it's far from guaranteed. On the other hand, it's also not guaranteed that your training was correct. Incompetence is rife... _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

Garry's Mod is so awesome. Does anyone else have this? I got it the other day, and although its hard to pick up, you can make some awesome stuff with it! Like, I made a cannon which fires Gman.  Brilliant fun!  _________________ Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.

Garrys Mod is like a sandbox addon thing for Half Life 2. It lets you make stuff and stuff. Its used in a lot of machinima - Like for example if you type gmod idiot box into Youtube, it will show you what I mean and provide definate lulz. _________________Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.
