Life Of A Customer Service Rep
from the sounds-positively-awful dept
Salon is running part one of a two part story about the life of a customer service representative at a publishing company. It's chock-full of Dilbert-inspiring stories of how things work at a badly managed company that does everything possible to pound the life out of any employees. Next time you're calling any customer service line and getting angry at the long wait on hold (perhaps followed by silence), remember this story and think about who's on the other end of the line.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
