Other JJ, I have thought this same thing. For people who don’t know about this, there is such a thing as a professional gaslighter. You call a help line and you get routed to them. The job is to do anything but help you. They are to waste your time, ask you to repeat things, or spell things. They say non-sensical things; some of them have sound effects they play. Long hold times, tickets to nowhere, etc.
Their job is frustrate you into either giving up or becoming irate; at which point you’re characterized as “crazy”. They want you to conclude that it’s not worth it to complain or to ask for something.
Some of them tag team you. Good cop/bad cop. Yes/No. It’s surreal once you get to a certain level. But let me tell you the future. It’s both better and worse.
These people are being replaced by AI. It’s better, in that you will not longer have to wonder how your so-called human “peers” can do this to you. But it’s worse because the machine is COLD and it’s final. Siberia, okay?
Life is not the way it was, but really, we should be so surprised. Psychology experiments throughout history have shown that a good percentage of people will in fact participate in things like this.
That percentage has done nothing but rise. The average employer is not looking for a moral person. They’re looking for something else. See Psychopaths.
