GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Northeast Utilities customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~Senex: What you get is a litany of "things I can't do," instead of a mindset that is set upon trying to offer the customer meaningful assistance. I spoke to four different individuals, and all seem intent or just getting rid of you. They claim that they are forbidden to switch calls to the corporate office that has authority for the conduct of those in call centers, and they claim that if you want to complain, you'll have to write a letter.**This company needs to rethink its role vis-a-vis its customers, and not so bury itself between "automated responses" and a staff that behaves as if its guarding the walls of the Kremlin!
