Yes, they are! Even if I get frustrated, I tend to remain calm because at the end of the day, another human being is sitting on the other side of the phone and I wouldn't want someone to yell at me while I'm working.

Who said we weren't? haha I know robots are starting to be used for customer support, but as far as I know, they haven't completely displaced us!

THANK YOU! I hate it when clients get angry at me for things I can't control. Your laptop went black because you dropped a glass of water on it? Sucks for you, we can't fix a fried computer through the phone, plus if they're not careful, what can we do?

You are absolutely right! I wish many people would understand it, it would be really wonderful!

The worst part of this job is dealing with customers who refuse to see me as a person. The cruelty that some people can inflict on others because they feel entitled to do so is horrible.
