Sounds like HN. I'm actually surprised anecdotes haven't popped up where people describe why they're justified in treating people like trash.
It's such a breath of fresh air to see someone saying this :) I'm not sure how any company can promote morale by allowing customers to take out their unrelated frustrations on employees.
- jschwartzi 10y agoI worked with a guy once who bragged about how much free stuff he got just for being an asshole to CSRs at different companies. I had the displeasure of listening to one of his calls once and I was shocked at just how badly he treated people. He treated his girlfriend the same way, too, and I'm surprised she didn't dump him for it.
