Obviously many of us get paid very well and there is an expectation with work demands for being paid that high. But what’s too much? How do you set a limit to preserve your mental health? I find myself guilty for taking time to decompress but I know I come back to work refocused after I do it.

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out. My wife is a family doctor, she is working insane hours, she is treating covid patients, and there is a lot of days when she has to stay at the hospital without coming home. My neighbour works in a local grocery store, so he has been at work since the Day 1 of lockdown. So if you need medical help, or want to eat, it’s ok for those people to be at work, but their kids have to stay home? Cont’d >>

Hi Account friends! It’s the start of a new year and I was hoping you all could share any book / newsletter / blog / course recommendations that help keep you up to snuff. Feeling a bit stale and like the last year has been a tactical grind. I want to brush up on modern thinking for our industry - the latest and greatest marketing books, strategy perspectives, creative self help, etc. to feel more alive as we start 2022.

Ally bank dropping rates again. CD a good choice?

Ok, so I messed up. I thought I had pressed hold when I turned to a coworker and said the customer was “one of the rude ones.” …turns out she wasn’t on hold, and heard me. How do I apologize to my boss?

In my company, we have a staff of customer support agents to resolve user concerns, but they prefer to complain on social media and never call the number we give them. Should we transfer the agents to the Social Media platforms or insistently try to get them to call us?

I grew up with a lot of social anxiety so I can't really believe I'm saying this, but my favorite thing about working at a store is that I have to talk to people every day. It's really helped me come "out of my shell" and stepping outside of my comfort zone has given me more confidence than I ever thought it would.

Are you worried about how quickly AI support is growing?

I hope you don’t mind, but I just have to brag. I QUIT MY JOB TODAY. Farewell, Karens.

Do you prefer bots that oftentimes just provide a list of possible issues that you may have or an actual person where you can directly say what the issue is as your customer support? Let’s discuss!

Is anyone else worried about how fast digital platforms are changing? Older employees are already struggling to keep up, and it feels like we always have a new platform to learn.

Will the customer support future be led by chatbots or will we still be necessary? lol

Favourite coffee + favourite show + getting your work done? Best balance ever #customersupportperks😌

My company is receiving backlash for…let’s say a poor decision that has gone viral in my city. For 3 days, almost everyone who has called customer support is just looking to insult and yell at us. This isn’t our fault :/

For those of you who lead a support team, how do you handle case/ticket queues when agents are OOO? I lead a team of 7 and looking to implement a better OOO process. Thanks!

Hiring managers, what do you look for as you’re going through resumes?

It’s time we collectively stop agreeing to be abused by customers just because management thinks we should.

Is it normal to be ghosted after interviews? I’ve had three recently and not one callback.

I do feel bad when people can’t afford our subscription any more even though they love it. However, I wish they would stop getting mad at me over it. It’s not my fault!

Managers, how do you help your customer support team avoid burnout?

Sometimes it feels like customer service is just trying to calm down a large, angry toddler.
