I know yelling at customer service is a shitty thing to do but who else do I yell at? The CEO won't give me his number and the rest of the management won't either. Customer service is the only place people even have a chance to be heard, and that's why they get mad. It's a systemic problem and companies use cheap replaceable employees to defer it.
Then don't yell at anyone, just boycott the company. It doesn't matter how justified your anger is, that doesn't make it right to abuse people.
I agree
Why are you even yelling?
Typically people do that when they are angry
You just don't buy the product?
It is so weird, these people are arguing over the ability to keep a piece of plastic so they can then throw more money at Sony. For entertainment.
If you must voice a complaint to the call centre, at least keep it civil. You're much more likely to be heard.
No one at the call center gives a shit regardless of how you approach it, I promise you. They probably aren't even Sony employees.
3rd party call centers are usually terrified of telling the actual business about issues.
I did say 'if you must'. I reckon it's pissing into the wind as well. Just don't buy their product is my advice. The only thing megacorporations like Sony respect is the bottom line. I also don't expect enough 'gamers' to do that to make a difference. They'll yell and stomp their little feet, but still send them their money.
You can ask for or look up the info for the corporate offices.
There's a good chance the support agents aren't even Sony employees.
Doesn't justify the behavior. The company must retaliate to do their due diligence to their employees.
