What's your "old person" trait? (feddit.ch)

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

What I really want is the corporate phone numbers so I can call the fucking jackass CEO at home and direct my fuming fucking self-righteous anger right under his stupid worthless ass. Because I’m well aware that they record calls and don’t give one flying fuck about our complaints.

For that matter, I want to see the productivity data on the top executives. AIUI, companies like Amazon monitor and push employees to get maximum productivity. Okay, so if Bob the warehouse worker takes an extra five minutes on his bathroom break and misses his last delivery of the day, that'll piss off the customer and cost Amazon, say, $100 in sales. But by the same logic, if Andy Jassy takes an extra five minutes on his bathroom break and doesn't finish everything on his daily to-do list, that might cost the company $1M. So all the more reason to monitor his movements to make sure he's not slacking off.

The key is that executives don't really matter that much. The company isn't going to lose our on money of the CEO has diarrhea. The vast majority of work is done by the employees. Unfortunately, employees of the company can't just decide to give themselves bonuses and shit like the board can.
