5 call attempts today to the BC CFO

Get through on attempt 4, call drops while on hold

Attempt 5 goes through again and I manage to get my information and question off, call drops while on hold.

Horse Shoe luck so far today 🤞

Edit: and we’re approved for transfer baby!!

Mine dropped on hold too. Absolutely gutted.

Edit: 18 attempts, 3 have gone to hold. All 3 were dropped before being answered. The last one being 15mins (gave me some serious false hope).

2nd Edit: Got two phones at my desk and calling from both at the same time. We are up to 36 attempts, 5 successful to hold. All 5 dropped.

Honestly just try early morning. My luck came through within the 1st hour of them being open.

Feel stupid for asking, would it be 8am BC time or ON time?

Edit: 9am BC time. Just incase anyone else was wondering.

2nd Edit: 89th time's a charm! Process right then and there. If you do get through, be nice to her, she's an absolute angel.
