He manages the community support services team at Microsoft and is tightly focused on the future of customer support. It appears that T-Mobile has provided him a great worst case scenario - he left the service because of it.
“sean, can I just have the agent call you back so we can handle this? Me: “NO! I won’t do that. This is not my problem, this is your problem. Now you want to take time from my family on another call. NO.�? Supervisor: “I understand, what do you want me to do? You don’t really have any other option here.�? Me: “Don’t have an option? Hah. I can drop you as a service provider.�? Supervisor: “Yes, you could do that.�? This was maybe the most depressing part of the call. She really didn’t care. And it was clearly not because she’s a bad person but because she has given up on her own employer. I actually felt sorry for her. I couldn’t yell at her. I said goodbye.
