Office Depot Falsely Diagnosing Malware

Come on, really.

OK, stick your head back in the sand.

Really.

I work for a fairly big corporation, do tech work that bills for a high rate, and give our clients alternatives to contracts with me regularly.

We're not out to squeeze every dime we can out of people, having them as references is the big picture.

I haven't gone rogue either, that is company policy.

I spoke with Sony tech support last night about my sound bar, didn't charge me a dime.

I spoke to Geek Squad about my Netgear Nighthawk earlier this year when the automatic bios update failed, have a year free.

I spoke to HBO Now tech support because my email was blocking their emails, no charge.

I've spoken to Sony's PS Vue tech support, free.

I've spoken to MS Live tech support free in the last few years.

I drove over a wood screw this summer and the garage I get my oil changed at fixed my tire for free, even though I bought my truck at another dealer.

This fall our landscaper (employee of a company came out and worked a couple hours free of charge.

Yes, I'm "sticking my head in the sand" all these corporations are trying to screw me for every dime they can.



The sales quotas and "pushing" we've seen at Wells Fargo and Office Max are certainly not the only examples of companies making a dishonest buck, but you can't just say "This is current corporate culture. They're all out to swindle us!".

Some are, some are not, it's up to consumers to protect themselves.

The problem is clear and you will never see it because you view the world with Rose Colored glasses.
