Sony went on to say that it takes a “firm stance” against such behavior, which includes examples like “persistent and repeated, or prolonged, demands, excessive or unreasonable demands for compensation or apologies, and abusive language, threats, slander, and other similar behaviors.”

Other examples included “forcing someone to prostrate themselves” and “visiting our offices or related facilities without permission.” If any such behavior is confirmed, Sony says it may “restrict or suspend customer service” to protect its employees — and, if necessary, contact “police, lawyers, etc.” to take legal action or begin criminal proceedings against them.

I know yelling at customer service is a shitty thing to do but who else do I yell at? The CEO won't give me his number and the rest of the management won't either. Customer service is the only place people even have a chance to be heard, and that's why they get mad. It's a systemic problem and companies use cheap replaceable employees to defer it.

Then don't yell at anyone, just boycott the company. It doesn't matter how justified your anger is, that doesn't make it right to abuse people.

If you must voice a complaint to the call centre, at least keep it civil. You're much more likely to be heard.

Why are you even yelling?

Doesn't justify the behavior. The company must retaliate to do their due diligence to their employees.
