A stint in customer support cures this attitude. It’s a special person who can survive that for a career.


I think your'e overemphasising how bad it is. I worked for quite some time as a computer tech fixing problems on-site and seeing exactly what issues customers face. I didn't come across too many "bad" clients. Now maybe this is because most customers could not call me directly, they had to log a call first but most people realise that your work is just as important as theirs is.


Yes. This is why I don't do customers any more.


i'm not sure cures is the word. some people might have a change of attitude, others, it will only ingrain the situation even further.
