This Q/A caught my eye:
And if the customer flat-out refuses to renew at that moment, the support person is actually penalized!
Maybe all carriers do this, but this seems like an incredibly sleazy corporate policy. This is something I'd expect from a criminal syndicate. I guess I've just answered my own questions - wireless carriers are criminal syndicates.
Q: If a customer is at the end of their contract prior to launch and want to wait to upgrade, what should I do?
A: If a customer is at the end of their contract or is no longer on a contract and wants to wait to upgrade the phone, we will allow this. QA scores will not be reduced for allowing the customer to wait to extend their contract in this scenario.
