Finding that balance can be tricky.
The guidance is clear. Just like hats. The conduct and procedure is unenforcable.

Might be really eye opening, or maybe you won’t care because “it isn’t your problem”. That’s up to you. It’s a whole interview/inquisition process. Sounds stressful for them.
Why are we the ones trying to fix a cultural problem that Delta management created? That’s on management to fix.

About 3 years ago, United got rid of delay coding entirely — along with the “blame game” that goes with it. The end result for them was a net improvement in customer service without any measurable decline in performance.

While I’m sympathetic toward our agents’ plight, management is solely responsible for the hostile environment they’ve created. Taking a page from United’s book would likely improve our NPS as well.

No kidding? I’d be 100% onboard with that. It may have made sense in the merger to find amd fix the friction points, but it feels Orwellian at this point.
