Comment on glupi jebeni bot

I simultaneously disagree with them considering a 9 a failure and your rating the agent less because of something outside of their control.

but as a customer i can’t be expected to know that a less-than-stellar review of my customer service experience (which i only contact if i already have issues and therefore am predisposed to be irritated at) will reflect badly an the person who fielded my call unless they explicitly tell me that beforehand. i may have rated the experience a 9 because the phone tree to get to a human was confusing, or because the hold music was shit, or because the agent had to look things up in the company’s slow-ass system so i had to wait. there are a million ways to have a bad time when calling customer service, and if you ask me to rate the experience with one number i would never in a million years give it a 10 unless everything is solved the instant i call.

I hear you on that, and your position makes much more sense now that you’ve explained their survey wasn’t asking the questions well or you misinterpreted them.
Mine had portions for my performance and the overall company’s performance separately, but I still received poor ratings (and written comments) for actions other people took that I had no control over, like giving your new dentist a bad rating because you broke a tooth skateboarding before your first visit with them.
“How are your teeth doing?” “Bad.”
Versus
“How was your dentist appointment today?” “Good” + “What is your dental history?” “Bad.”

now, i’m not the guy that had the original customer service experience you were mad at but that’s my experience with them. whenever they’re split up i rate the “agent performance” at 100% and everything else at whatever i felt they deserved, because if there’s one job that does not deserve more hate its customer service phone jockeys.
but yeah, usually the questions are entirely unfit. our office review thing offered stuff like “i can contribute to my team to further the company’s goals”. it was a consultancy working on-site with customers. we didn’t have teams.

Hey man, listen. Call centers suck. I worked at a call center, and it really really sucked. I’d be the first to empathize with workers locked up in call centers.
But this wasn’t even about a call center. It was a support experience survey for going to a physical store that offers support as one of the many things they sell and offer there. The place is not owned by the telecom company, they aren’t their employees.
The problem, again, is that the people designing, sending, collecting and overreacting to the support survey probably weren’t ever anywhere close to a remotely similar place. Which just shows how utterly useless and pointless the whole exercise is and how it is actually counterproductive to be honest on these corpo surveys.
