👿 This is an actual RAISE THE BAR COMMENT MADE BY A CINGULAR MANAGER..."I just overheard (REP X) Raise the Bar by telling our customer she hopes he enjoys his dinner because his dinner just finished in the microwave." This is just a sickening display of a$$kissery that has to stop. If the powers that be expect me to pucker up on this level just get the pinkslip ready right friggin now!!!
...
I got a few raise the bar calla and I did not kiss but. I have had three raise the bar calls and I have never gotten any praise and I did not lick a** either. I think you can get a raise the bar without kissing but and bringing up someone's TV dinner.
...
Jeez guys. Just finishing my Orange training. On an RSD desk, no one will be getting a$$ licked here POTOCOL PROTOCOL PROTOCOL. Remember those three words and the Raise the Bar will get you through it.
...
With the situation going on, I dont think anyone cares, to much stress to care.

That's reaching pretty far--I'm with you, this is pure posterior osculation and unworthy of some sort of special mention! 🙄
...
are you serious???? raising the bar has nothing to do with dinner!!! thats a bunch of crap. i always tell every irate customer that walks out of the store to have a great day and thanks for shopping at cingular. just cause they give me the finger on the way out doesnt mean i didnt help.
...
Exactly my friend. As long as I get the PHONE issue be it technical or billing taken care of that's as far as I'm raising the bar. The above "Raise The Bar" issue really made me almost throwup 😳
...
...babe...calm down. 😛
I do agree though. That should not be a raise the bar. I thought raise the bar was informing customers of things like our * services. That is just gay!!
...
😁 Hey babe! Have I missed you while I was off. And yes it is really silly. Pure a$$kissery!!!
...
I missed you too!!! I wish you were here tonight. I'd love for you to go out with me tonight!!!
...

🤭 darlin 🤭
Sounds southern.... 🤣
...
Im a country girl 🤭
Not necessarily southern but I did pick up some of those words.
...
Good night baby!! Come on here and visit me this weekend.
...
what cracks me up is when i have to call into agent cue or to credit and activations and they tell me "thanks for helping cingular raise the bar". i got real cute one day with a rep and said thanks for helping me raise the bar. lol i really caught her offguard. 😈
...
I don't really see as wishing someone a good dinner as asskissery. it is more of a courtsey, but then again i still haven't figured out were raising the bar takes effect and our job stops.
...
The way I figure it solving the customers PHONE related issues is raising the bar, unsolicited comments about microwave dinners is a$$kissing overkill.
...
Ick. I think that putting a personalized touch on a call (no matter how inane, c'mon people) is excellent customer care, and if it is recognized, bully. I just want to know how this is held in such high regard. I mean, putting tangible benefits on a call attribute that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with this job, that's just.....ridiculous! I won $20 for 'raising the bar.' What for? USING THE CUSTOMER'S LAST NAME! GAWD! $20 is great, but where was the reward when I slogged through an hour of CSR's and menus to track down a migration, because some boob dropped the ball. Or, when I deescalated the lady that screamed so voraciously, the spittle hit my cheek?
Bah! Raise the bar, humph. Just another administrative inconsistency brought to you fr...
