I find it extremely ironic as somebody who absolutely loves technology, that something like a simple phone tree can be so infuriating

I both love and hate my tech bro.

Big same. I just wanted to ask a living, breathing, employee a question about a product before I made an 80 min round trip.

If you find a company that legit does this, tell us all so we can make them rich.

to be fair, phone trees and technology aren't really equal... a phone tree unnecessarily complicates in lengthens the process that could normally be much more efficiently handled by a human... whereas technology, at its best, makes things faster and more efficient, versus dragging it out to save paying a human to do it.

yeah I probably could have phrased that a little bit better because a phone tree is ultimately really dumb. it doesn't know how to handle unexpected inputs other than asking you to repeat things over and over again 😂

Truth!
