Some People Need to Be Scared Before They Take Action

Some people just want to make their life harder. After I involved the university admins or operations team of a supposedly prestigious computer university that's when the registrar's office made a move to look for my "missing" transcript. After more than two months of calling and talking to different people plus emailing back and forth, the registrar dept took action after I involved more people in asking for help regarding my transcript. How competent of them eh? They are either lazy or have management problems or both. Finally things will start moving again for me! Thank God! Would you be as patient as me, using scare tactics as a last resort to make people take action? Or do you think I should have done something drastic immediately?

I have been following up with them for two months. If I only knew they needed to be scared to take action I would have done sooner. Pfffft.

I'm impatient with incompetent people and would always resort to legal drastic action to get them act.

If I could I would have. Almost did but haven't done it yet. The last straw would have been getting a lawyer to "force" them to act. Good thing they finally took some action. I understand there are different kinds of people and the level of understanding is different. The registrar was just lazy in knowing what issue she's dealing with that's why we didn't see eye to eye. She never bothered to ask the full details and never bothered to read all the details too.

Sometimes you can't get anywhere by being nice. Especially with bureaucrats.

What's new with that? Seems like it has been part of our country ever since. Don't just scare them, that might not be enough, try threatening them instead. Lol

I'm too kind I guess. Can't threaten so I just scared them after two months of headaches. To think I don't consider myself patient. Pffffft. Other universities only take 1 or 2 weeks at most. That sh*tty computer university took more than 2 months! Pathetic. Even the registrar is not too helpful.

I certainly would have taken action much sooner. I am so glad that things worked out. It's such a waste of time and involves so much work!

I took action as soon as I could, after my patience tolerance for them broke. I also left them a one star review in their Facebook page and also posted my comment on another of Facebook page of theirs so people will know about it.

I would not waited for two months, I try to solve things without scaring people as much as I can, but if nothing moves I take action.

Yes they are are getting staff changed left and right because they keep resigning. I believe they have management problems and are underpaid so everything is allegedly backlogged. There is still paperwork involved but I feel like they are just not up to the task at all.
