Origin Energy Fires Salesman ‘Bully’
Origin Energy fired one of its salesmen who was reported to have “insulted, bullied, intimidated and traumatised” a customer who is a disabled pensioner. The company has apologized to the customer.
According to Jason Copeland,the Origin salesman went to his home in Chermside last week and demanded to see his existing electricity bill.
Copeland, who has a heart condition, said that the salesman was arrogant and intimidating while he explained why the 62-year-old pensioner should shift to Origin.
“I felt quite ill afterwards and had to lie down,” said Mr Copeland.
He furthered, “I feared for my safety. I hate to think what could have happened to someone who is in more frail health than I am in the face of such bullying and insulting behaviour.”
He then filed a formal complaint to Origin Enegy, who responded by saying that the company is worried that its standards for dealing with the public had not been met in this case.
An Origin Energy spokesman said that the said salesman will no longer represent Origin.
‘We unreservedly apologise to Mr Copeland.” He furthered that someone from Origin will be in touch with Copeland to settle the matter personally.
Mr Copeland said that he was satisfied with the outcome of his complaint.
“That’s a good result,” he said. “But I hope they’ve got measures in place to train their people, so that this doesn’t happen again.”
He mentioned that there are pensioners who are older and frailer than him, and that kind of behaviour could do serious damage to a frail old lady.
