It’s unlikely that your manager determines your pay rate and raises. That’s usually decided well up the chain.

What’s dumb is that Sirius will continue doing that indefinitely, but you have to play the game and call to cancel, then go do the whole song and dance. So I didn’t even activate the free shit that came with the car. I don’t want to play that game. I would pay the lower rate indefinitely if they just charged that, but I’m not going to play games.

It’s because the people who will actually cancel are the minority. The companies wouldn’t do this if it resulted in a net loss for them. They make more money being assholes, so they’ll always be assholes.

In the software industry you’re supposed to go get a new job every year or two until you’re making what you want. That’s how you get raises. It’s dumb.

Nowadays reliability and coverage is actually the selling point.
They may all have enough speed, but usually the expensive ISPs are more reliable. Mostly because the "cheap ISP"s are just the expensive ones in a trenchcoat selling excess bandwidth. But when the excess bandwidth is no longer excess, the cheap ones are the first to be cut off.
So if you don’t need 99.99…% uptime, the cheap ones are much better.

Yeah. A/B tests have no way to prove the value of customer loyalty to a fair deal, so nobody knows how to implement it anymore.
There’s historic evidence - Coca Cola was infamously still 5¢ long after everything else went up in price, and it worked out.
But everyone is obsessed with “engagement” right now.

Also most high level executives make up a fantasy version of how the business is being run and feel anyone who doesn’t agree is inherently wrong.
This was quite eye-opening for me, when I discovered it.
I’ve met Chief Information Security Officers who I wouldn’t trust to pick my antivirus product.

I benefit from this because I’m always a returning customer.
Every time I have a service I haven’t cancelled in awhile, I go cancel and resubscribe just to make sure they haven’t hidden the cancel button.

The value proposition of satellite radio is so incredibly bad for the overwhelming majority of people I don’t understand how they’re still in business.
Also the quality is awful. If I wanted audible compression artifacts I could dust off my late 90s mp3 collection.

Yeah, for sure. I’m not blaming him, to be clear.

Corporations are creating multitudes of Arya Starks, all stropping their knives and waiting for a chance to wet the blade.
Refusing to reward a corporation for their bad behavior is incredibly cathartic.

Absolutely. It’s poor business practices that broke the social contract. An employee owes them nothing.
