  1. In those situations, when I'm on chat or phone with some poor unfortunate support line person, I'll be sure to phrase my complaints to "your company", "the company" or <insert company name here>. I don't say "you" when I mean the company I'm dealing with. That takes it out of any implication that it is in any way personal. If necessary I'll even say something along the lines of "this isn't about you, it's about your employer".

  2. For a brief time you could get one-use credit card numbers to use for purchases, etc. I expect that was killed right quick by companies wanting to continue their perpetual non-cancelable subscriptions

  3. Oh yes, I always presume a company that treats their customers like shit is going to treat their employees like shit too.

  4.  @witherschat But we don't *HAVE * free market capitalism. Existing/established companied have bought off and bribed Congresscritters for decades to make sure no competitors can get a start in the marketplace. The only reason the current crop of tech companies were able to get started was by entering a marketplace the entrenched companies were unaware of. But now that the "tech startups" have become themselves entrenched, they are using the same dirty tricks to buy off those same congresscritters.
