Re: recording...
Why does the message when you call say something like '...may be recorded...' where "may" sounds like it's synonymous with "might"?
I know why they have to have the message but I was just curious if there was a reason for the apparently odd wording.
- dragonwriter 13y agoThe wording is specifically because they want to pretend that only a small share of calls are recorded for quality review and that it is very unlikely that your particular call will be recorded.
- danielweber 13y agoThey reserve the right not to record the call, in case the stuff hits the fan and a customer insists on getting a recording of the call where everything went wrong.
- chilldream 13y agoWhy commit yourself to a stronger statement than necessary? As you probably already know, it's just to satisfy laws against recording a phone call without the consent of both parties. It's just a nicer way to say "we will proceed assuming we have your consent to record this call," without promising or revealing anything further.
