No one answers the phone or it goes to overflow. The employees hang up and overflow hangs up
I recently had the pleasure of having a phone conversation with (Ms. Torres). While I dread calling , you know the red tape, bureaucracy etc. heartless. I had gotten myself ready, but she couldn’t have been nicer. A complete professional, well versed in my case. I have never had a reason to write a company to inform them of their prized employees, but she seems to be worth her weight in gold to SS. I may be wrong, and all your people are as professionally qualified, but her mannerism should stand out as not all people are as caring. Like I said, it was a pleasure. Thank you for your time, Laura

Dear Ms. Cliett, I recently had the pleasure of having a phone meeting with MRT (Ms. Torres). While I was dreading my appointment, you know the red tape, bureaucracy etc. heartless. I had gotten myself ready, but she couldn’t have been nicer. A complete professional, well versed in my case. I have never had a reason to write a company to inform them of their prized employees, but she seems to be worth her weight in gold to SS. I may be wrong, and all your people are as professionally qualified, but MRT’s mannerism should stand out as not all people are as caring. Like I said, it was a pleasure. Thank you for your time, Carol
