Critical Nonsense

Customer Service and Made-Up Jobs


Listen Later

How do we fix customer service? And why do we make up work? [18:04]
This week, Aaron and Jess talk about Jess's new friend, Jonah, their worst flight ticketing blunders, Amazon's silver lining, fabric swatches, entry level usefulness, and allowing for agency. They don't talk about what a snerfherder (sp?) is.
