Its not just the long wait times that presents a problem. I've found that there is only about a 50/50 chance that a callback will be received when I choose that option. I recently started calling customer support before I purchase a product or service. If the presale experience is terrible I wont buy. Recently a rep for an online bank I was considering told me Id need to go into a local branch to designate beneficiaries as it couldn't be done through the web site. This made no sense as it was an ONLINE bank. The bank had no physical branches in my state nor did the agent ask what state I was in. I don't mind if someone tells me that they don't know an answer to a question, but will investigate and get back to me, vs just giving inaccurate information. Don't get me started on the terrible chat and even worse bot support that companies are moving to
What my wife and I believe to be a wise and well thought through and discussed decision is unique to our situation. I would hope that couples make choices that are mutually beneficial and not based on power, control, selfishness etc. We choose a hybrid model. We separate some finances and combine others. Its a model that works well for us
by suggesting power, control or selfishness are the reasons, you are harshly judging others who don't do thing the same way the you have chosen. How about you do you and let others figure out what works best for them
