the whistleblower says that for staff, persuading customers to believe all is fine is more important than getting to the bottom of their problems.

'My manager says we want customers to have a good experience on the phone so Vodafone will get higher ratings. I have been told to stop solving problems and just make the customer happy on the phone.
'I cannot work for Vodafone much longer. I want to help customers and fix problems with accounts.
'We have a high turnover of staff due to agents getting fired because of their promoter score – these are agents that are good at solving problems.
'The only staff that don't get fired are ones that have a great promoter score – but do nothing for the customer.'
