The Great Consumer Rebellion: Shoppers Give Pay-Back for Poor Customer Service

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:26:28 GMT

“The customer is always right” — If you’re a millennial or from a generation before that, you’re all too familiar with this phrase. And many of us probably somehow benefited from this mantra as a consumer without even knowing it. Because there’s no denying that we’ve been subjected to less-than-satisfactory services before that were, subsequently, corrected to our satisfaction by a highly accommodating customer service team. But those were the good old times, and the-customer-is-king attitude is slowly disappearing. Enter the customer rebellion.A Wall Street Journal article states that, according to the National Customer Rage Survey, 74% of customers have all been “victims” of a company’s poor customer service in the past. Now there’s a consumer push-back and companies are forced to notice — as consumers, of course, want them to!Why There’s Been a Consumer Rebellion LatelyPeople are tired of sub-par service, poor quality, and lame excuses.Consumers are even revolting aga...

Pac-12 media rights: Kliavkoff under pressure as saga nears conclusion and presidents express optimism

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:26:28 GMT

The Pac-12 appointed George Kliavkoff as commissioner in the spring of 2021 for a bevy of reasons, perhaps none more significant than his ability “to see where the hockey puck was going to go,” according to former Oregon president  Michael Schill.One puck zoomed past unexpectedly last summer, when USC and UCLA declared their intentions to flee to the Big Ten.Now here comes another, in the form of the Pac-12’s media rights negotiations. Kliavkoff must do more than identify its direction; he must redirect a gilded puck into the back of the net.This is exactly why the conference hired the former president of MGM Sports and Entertainment in the first place — to close a media deal that satisfies the revenue and exposure needs of the membership.Nothing else matters. The stakes are nothing less than the future of the conference and the trajectory of major college sports on the West Coast.Will Kliavkoff land a deal comparable in revenue to the Big 12’s agreemen...
