  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

Right? I see a very easy solution to this, which is, instead of telling the person to sit there and wait under the threat of losing their place in queue if they're not available when the magically shitty music stops playing, to just have the costumers state their name and problem and to then let them go on their way and have the call center itself call back the costumers once their queue position comes up.

But of course. Capitalism.

My company does hold callbacks. The system calls you back when your wait is done. So at least that is more pleasant.
