As much a I loathe the phone, and have such terrible success rate at getting what I want via phone conversation to major corporations, when something is not right I will waste hours (on hold mostly) as they pass me around department to department hoping I'll give up. Jokes on them because I won't give up. But ultimately jokes on me because they literally won't care.

My god, that is absolutely something I have. It’s something I struggle with every single day working gig jobs that exploit people but provide necessary freedom right now. Whether it’s Uber’s masterclass in exploitative UX or just restaurant treating me or other people poorly I’m almost constantly angry when I’m working and it’s so hard to let go. I’ve complained to Uber about issues, written poor yelp reviews, etc. but no one actually cares so I feel powerless and voiceless. The best thing I can do is blacklist places that disrespectful of people and shove my anger at the gig company in a box until I can escape this situation.
