I had to call the electricity company to resolve a fucking clusterfuck of their making the other day (long story short my electricity meter is faulty), and after 3-4 calls I got to someone who said "jesus christ" after I explained my situation and how they'd made it worse trying to resolve it...
She didn't fix it, it's still not fully fixed after a further 4 days including 29 hours without power, but gee did I feel like I was speaking to a fellow human who was trying to help in that conversation above all others I had with them
Back in the ADSL days, I once had to call my ISP because my service was down. No matter how many times I explained that the physical copper line was cut because a truck hit the phone pole, the person on the other end followed their script and asked if I tried restarting the router.
I always suspect they hate the scripts too. But they're almost certainly sanctioned if they stray from the script, even if it ultimately helps the user out in the end.
Yep. Though there are times you can get away with it. I was told by a supervisor that, no I wasn't going to get written up for telling a customer to "shut up and listen to me, if you hang up the phone I cannot solve your issue." They did however tell me that I was to act as though I had been thoroughly chewed out, as something like a dozen people heard me say that.
When I worked at a callcenter the general guidance was "if they don't want to be helped, let them reach back out whenever they do" which was really helpful for people who just wanted to pick a fight since it gave a clear guidance of "hey, if you dont want to do this right now now here's how to get back in contact"
They mostly hate the script way more than you do. Most phone support just wants to get you off the phone, ideally after resolving your issue, but thats not always the priority. Sometimes ya just gotta clear the queue.
