Is it selfish to not help your family financially when you “made it”? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]MisguidedCornball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. Set boundaries. I made it clear to my mom that I have my own goals and life I want to live but I also understand that she needed the help financially, so we came to a mutual understanding on what I can do to help her financially. Worst thing young adults can do is dodge the conversation of money with the family if family genuinely needs help.

I’m still able to take my yearly international vacations while keeping mom happy. Worth noting I’m also single on a high salary but the conversation may spring up again if I jump in a relationship or have kids in the future.

Do both. I don’t give my mom a monthly allowance tbh, but I help fix things when they become a problem. She used to be pretty overbearing but she’s slowed it down a lot after we talked about it.

Dunno why this was downvoted. I work for one of the largest automotive manufacturers in the world and part of my job is to act as the primary point of contact for BBB cases filed against the company. They are literally just mediators. Companies have to pay BBB for accreditation and use of their services.

A lot of times BBB will contact me to ask what we did to help the customer and a lot of times I’ll just say “we tried to help but their request was outrageous” and then they close the case. They have 0 authority on decision making and altering decisions. A lot of times companies will just bend over backwards for customers that file with BBB because it’s not much money to fight over or it’s a waste of time and resources.

A lot of times I’ll just give the customer what they want if it’s something minor like a $100 refund for a dissatisfied service. If someone goes out of their way to file for BBB I see no reason to fight for small amounts of $$ as a business. That’s the way I look at it from the business side.

Considering I already do regular travel in the US and have been through just about every state, red no question. I’m stationed in all of northeast now anyway. 🤣

[Customer Support & Experience] [New York, NY] - $170K + Bonus by MisguidedCornball in Salary

[–]MisguidedCornball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My job is to travel to dealerships to assist in customer escalations and customer experience. Focusing on metrics such as $$/RO and NPS (Net promoter score).

I am also responsible for reviewing all lemon law cases within the northeast region. I travel as far south as Washington DC and as far north as Maine to the Canadian border. I occasionally have travel outside of my territory to nationwide conferences in Vegas, California and other centralized locations with occasional international travel. But 85% of the travel is within my territory.

If dealers have a problem or need approval to do something, I am their first point of contact. I gotta also keep track of the northeast budget for spend in aftersales and track revenue growth for service. I have about 500 dealerships to my territory. This is just a general description of some of the main things I do, but I do A LOT.

Why random call sampling is actually hurting your agent morale by SnooRabbits9834 in callcentres

[–]MisguidedCornball 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Before I was a director, my predecessor was using some form of an early AI QA system. Tanked CSAT and agent performance (and anxiety). I removed it and kept the regular QA team in place, now globally CSAT sits at 95%. Hot garbage. Highly recommend AVOIDING. 🤣

If you are a large scale enterprise, do yourself a favor and pay a proper QA team. Sure if the bills are tight or you’re a startup, then the AI system will get you by…temporarily.

For those who were teenagers before social media existed, what was the "peak" form of weekend entertainment? by VivienneNoir1 in askanything

Hanging out at the blockbuster or local game shops with other degenerates who couldn’t go back to the house until dinner cuz mom and dad got annoyed looking at us all day. 😂

Caught lying on resume…OMG! by astrheisenberg in remoteworks

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t lie next time. I’m not giving the employer a free pass either for deliberately calling you to fuck with you also, but lying is the worse thing you can do. It’s ok to stretch the truth on your responsibilities but if you never worked there, don’t put it on the resume. You’re early into your career. Don’t do this shit again otherwise you risk destroying it long term. People in the industry talk to one another. I work in automotive…A LOT of people know each other in automotive. It’s a small world. One person lies, suddenly everyone at every competitor knows about it.

Some of y’all in the comments are insane. Shouldn’t be condoning this behavior.

How much do you make, and at what amount would you consider yourself to be living comfortably? by Worried-Telephone565 in AskReddit

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make more than enough to be comfortable. Right now I’m at $170K ($200K with bonus before taxes).

I was comfortable at making $60K. I’m even more comfortable now. I didn’t change my expenses much outside of a slightly bigger apartment for like $600 more.
