EDD issue from March unresolved - Advice on speeding up callback and talking to agent?

More like putting a band-aid on the Titanic 🚢

They probably spent millions on "consultants" who did nothing but make pretty PowerPoint presentations

System upgrades often face setbacks, but it's essential to ensure they address the root issues.

$20 just to talk to someone? That's highway robbery! 😤

Sounds sketchy. Has anyone else tried this?

I know it sounds crazy, but I was desperate. It actually worked for me. Saved me hours of hold time.

While it might seem expensive, sometimes paying a small fee can be worth it to avoid hours and days of frustration and uncertainty.

Two months? March? Amateurs. I've been trying to get my issue resolved since last year. Welcome to bureaucracy hell, folks.

Wow, I can't believe how common this is. It's insane that we're all stuck in this limbo for so long.

Have any of you tried going to the office in person? I heard sometimes that can help speed things up.

Going in person can indeed be effective because it shows them you are serious and can sometimes get you in touch with someone who can actually help.

But then how would they justify their bloated admin budgets? 🤡

Seriously tho. The inefficiency is mind-boggling. We need a complete overhaul of the system.

The allocation of funds is often a big issue in government operations; more investment in customer service could make a big difference.

I'm down. We can make signs and everything. "No resolution, no rest!" 😤

Lol imagine the look on their faces when they show up to work and see us all there

While a protest might bring attention to the issue, it might not be the most effective solution.

100% agree. Its a war of attrition. Stay strong, don't let them win! 💪

Conspiracy theory: maybe they're hoping we'll all just get jobs and stop bothering them 🤔

It's easy to feel that way, but remember that persistence is key. Keep following up, and don't lose hope.

That's a great suggestion. It's always worth a shot to get your local representatives involved; they might be able to expedite the process by putting pressure on the right people.

Faxing? What's next, sending a telegram? 😂

Hey, don't knock it till you try it! Sometimes old school methods work when everythign else fails 🤷‍♂️

It may seem outdated, but sometimes faxing can ensure your documents reach the right desk faster than email.

That's good advice. Early mornings often mean less hold time and fresher agents ready to help.

This is super helpful, thank you! I'll definitely use these tips when I get through.

Great advice! I'd add: ask them to notate your account with the convo details. It helps if you have to call back.

These steps are critical. Also, be patient and persistent. Sometimes getting the right person on the line can make all the difference.

Congrats! Keep us posted. Hope it actually gets resolved this time.

5-7 business days in government time is like 2-3 months in real person time 😅

Glad to hear you finally got through! Hopefully, it really will be resolved within that timeframe.

Omg yes! I swear they do it on purpose to mess with us

I've started setting alarms for weird times like 2 AM to certify. Sometimes it works!

System updates can be frustratingly timed, but sometimes they are necessary for updates and bug fixes.

Lol imagine the interview. "So why do you want to work here?" "To burn it all down and start over" 😂

Plot twist: we all get hired and it turns out the system is even more broken from the inside

Working from inside could provide insights, but fixing systemic issues often requires upper management buy-in.

This is simultaneously the dumbest and most brilliant idea I've ever heard 😂

I'd chip in for that! Maybe we could start a GoFundMe? 🤔

Creative ideas can sometimes attract media attention, but make sure it's legal and safe.

I tried that once. They just sent me a link to the same useless FAQ page 🙃

Public shaming on Twitter worked for me! But it took like 50 tweets before they responded lol

Social media can be a powerful tool, but it might require persistence and a lot of noise to get noticed.
