Talking about crazy customer behavior, sometimes I get why they’re angry. I’ve called my own bank for simple requests, things we handle daily, yet received poor service, forcing me to hang up and try again. That’s when I realize why customers get frustrated. Many times, agents lack proper training, and while not everyone is the same, this gap often causes repeated calls and ends with another agent unfairly judging the customer.

You could reply with something like:

“Exactly, I’ve been on both sides too. When basic issues aren’t handled well, the frustration just snowballs. It’s not always the customer being difficult — sometimes it’s the system or lack of training that sets the tone. A little patience and proper support can go a long way.”

Want me to make a sharper, more casual version for social media too?

I agree. Customer frustration often comes from the company’s lack of preparation, not the service itself. When support can’t solve something simple, it’s natural for the customer to lose patience and take it out on you.

Exactly! They would just give the agents a just superficial info and throw them in the pool to figure out the rest, which does not work for everyone.

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?

Should I be happy because I still have a job or should I be mad and sad because I didn't get a rise? I'm underpaid and got a 9k raise through 4 years of work

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
