I booked flights a few months ago and got so mad at all the upselling they tried to do and how little they gave for the base price. My wife had to talk me down from throwing my computer. I'm normally a calm person.
The idea that someone wouldn't break in the US with workplace expectations and cultures, that consumers shouldn't lose their shit (demanding corporate actions not taking it out on front liners) is the gaslighting, sorry to use the oft misattributed word.
US workplaces grind out profits on insufficient staffing, poor procedures, dangerous consequences for employees and customers all so that the 1% can get quarterly stock grants and options worth more than the lifetime earnings of an employee.
