How Properly handled headaches can make you look good
Or how ignoring them makes you look like HP
DATELINE: January 28, 2022
Back in late November 2021, I wrote a piece about my failed efforts to get Hewlett-Packard, known to the world as HP, to correct a pricing error on their website. While I normally don’t shop on Black Friday, I thought I would at least look at HP.com to see if they had any ‘specials’ I couldn’t resist.
Lo and behold, I discovered HP was offering a top of the line i9-class PC for only $799: I nearly fell out of my chair. I wasted no time calling my son in to check it out with me, and decided we would make a purchase — even though we really didn’t need a new PC. I had bought him a new PC just three years ago, and while it was a little RAM-deficient, it still served his needs for the most part. But this PC — an i9, with Windows 11 — was out-of-this world amazing! I couldn’t pass it up.
You can read the whole sordid story here, if you’d like, but suffice it to say, I didn’t get the i9-class PC: HP refused to sell it to me…
