Did your company make the list?

Jan 18, 2012 10:24 PM

Facebook, AT&T, Best Buy and others were named some of the top hated companies in the US.

Not the one you posted, but they're on my list

I really need to start making sure that my brother hasn't logged me out and him in before I post comments. Yes, my company made the list. I'm not surprised.

@milujite: Man, that confused the heck out of me. I had just voted the comment up, read the article, come back,and the comment was gone. Yours was in its place, and I admit it startled me.

Not one of those companies was a surprise. The saddest thing is that both American Airlines and Johnson and Johnson (not to be confused with the excellent, and similarly named, SC Johnson) were both highly rated perhaps a decade ago. AT&T has sucked in all its hidden guises, from SBC until now. I'm so grateful that (as a T-Mobile customer) they were not successful in their attempt to take over a company that's always been tops in Customer Service.

so i just skimmed thru the first read figuring walmart would be high up. then after not finding it, i re-read it. oh, they based the list mostly on how the stock market liked the company. that explains it. the stockmarket likes any company that lines business men's pockets, while hurting it's employees. (i was a walmart associate until 27 days ago (three days before christmas). i still love the company, i just have open eyes at how they treat the lower level employees that they live off of. it is nice to have insurance, but they only want part time people now, and are firing those that have been there a long long time.)

Nope, never worked for any of those companies. I do have an AT&T cell phone though (it's alright) and I used to use bank of america (terrible)

Netflix? HA-HA I love Netflix!!! Every time the public gets mad at them I make money off playing the swing in the stock price.

My company is not on the list, and I'm not surprised by that.

Two of my most disliked are on the list: AT&T and Sears. My cell service is through AT&T, and they are generally easy to dislike. I used to get all of my major appliances at Sears, but the last two times I have tried, it has been a nightmare!

I'm a little surprised Netflix is still on the list. I'm annoyed by their price fluctuation, but I stay with them because their service is excellent.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
