401(k) Rollover

After leaving the Shitshow, one of the first things that I tried to do was rollover my 401(k) account from the crumby one the Shitshow FORCES all employees to use in order to get the company match which is only paid in Shitshow stock (see the Proud Shareholder post). So in my retirement account, I have the choice of crappy managed funds with sky high fees or Shitshow stock. Boy I guess I dont need to worry with a nest egg like that! I am sure the Shitshow is getting kickbacks from the 401(k) management to charge these high fees as long as the Shitshow forces all of its employees to use their services. Anyways, I digress......so I tried to rollover my account and of course they make it nearly impossible to read the website and find the forms necessary to withdraw money but they post the forms to rollover money TO their service on the front page. Go figure. So I call the Shitshow help line and I literally spent 30 minutes being routed around an automated phone system with no option of speaking to a live operator. It was so ridiculous because they made me keep saying out loud for the automated system my last 4 digits of social security number, my address, etc and after I finished reciting this nonsense, the automated system would tell me that it didnt understand what I said and to "please repeat it". After repeating my address, name, etc 25 times, I finally got frustrated and hung up. What great customer service the Shitshow has for its employees who trust the fate of their retirement with them. I can only imagine the type of investment advice these flunkies would give.

Because I cannot even speak to a human being to get my hard earned retirement money from the greedy claws of the Shitshow, I throw rocks.
