I think it all depends on what kind of customer support you're in. If I'm in the store by myself and a shady customer comes in, I quietly go to a corner of the store or outside and call the police. But mostly I try to talk to them in a calm tone, maintain eye contact, and be nice to them.

I got an offer at Nokia, and my new manager said that she wanted to put me in the higher salary bracket however the HR insisted that we lowered the range. That caused me to receive a much lower salary than expected. Should I renegotiate even when my manager said that she tried giving me more. Does HR really play that big of a role in this?
