Disgraceful call centre agent
I submitted a request for termination of a dependent's membership on the 2nd of November 2022. I received an automated response confirming receipt of my request as well as a promise that it would be addressed within 48 hours. A few days later I received an SMS thanking me for my patience with their delayed response. It's been 2 weeks since my request and I haven't received any official correspondence. I called Gems today to find out if there's been any progress with regards to my request, and spoke to the rudest call centre agent. She did the termination while I was on the phone, and when I asked her politely whether I'd be receiving a confirmation letter she bit my head off saying that I can't expect to receive a confirmation letter, I have to request one. This kind of attitude is absolutely uncalled for and completely unnecessary.
I told her that she's being rude, she didn't even bother apologising. I'm sure Gems can do better, and perhaps even consider employing people who actually want to work.
