    On the other hand, this is a perfect position for some member of the management team you want to get rid off, but still have a long-term contract with.

    If complaint depts actually existed and were intended to be helpful, the current relationship with customers would be better.

    A ton of the negativity these days comes from knowing you are always talking to an ineffectual drone who possesses no power. And often times they also seem to lack any motivation to have any empathy. Due to low pay, shitty policies forced upon them, and being forced to do the support over the phone.

    The way everything is structured today is just terrible. And it’s in part because these companies insist on growing to a scale where good support is impossible to provide without major price increases. It’s all fucked.

      There’s also some blame to put on consumers. A large portion of the complaint queue is Karens who sap the will to live of any worker who has to deal with them.

      I got charged too much by insurance for a low 3 digit amount. When talking to their support the employee said I am very calm given the situation. I was a bit surprised and said “Well, it’s not pocket change, but fortunately I am in a position where the amount is not life threatening”. Apparently they are used to much worse.

      “The Girls’ Club of America” used the Swastika before the Nazis. It was originally a sign of good fortune and good health used by new age health types. Much closer to how we think of the Peace symbol.

      That’s why The Nazis used it, it had youth appeal and good sentiment. The Nazis advertised themselves as being a health and good living movement. That’s part of where their love of healthy ideal bodies and features came from.

      They believed in hiking, and young people forming bands, and camping and practicing music and singing and marching in alpine hikes. All very wholesome healthy stuff.

      We know now what they were, but they were seen very differently at the time.

        Given the time frame it was published it wouldn’t surprise me if there was something where they got referenced at least. Dr. Seuss and Disney had a lot of war comics I know.

      The only reference I can find related to that says she was adopted to be part of the French resistance (not by the original artist(s).)

      Mafalda from Argentina looks similar, but again nothing about being a Nazi that I can find.
