Woo I didnโt need to pull a full Karen to get insurance address fuckery fixed
I have an inner bogan I unleash when required.
Now thereโs a memory. My male parent could code switch from court room/general/bogan on demand. It wasnโt until I was much older I realised most people donโt work like that, itโs also a skill Iโm much less good at.
I've lived a lot of different lives, that required very different communication styles. I've had a lot of practice, and now it's my job basically lol.
Never go full karen
I donโt enjoy it, but am actively dong it more rather than running away from shit instead. Iโm not good at Medium.
I'm just overly sensitive ๐ worked in call centres for a thousand years. I always tell people, be nice to the person your speaking to, and then politely escalate if needed. Consultants will move mountains for you if you are kind and genuine with them :)
Sometimes though, partial to full Karen is required. Especially if it's the company's fault lol
Totally get that. Iโve done front counter work before. Inability to go off script is the worst bit. Escalate without me using that word if itโs needed.
