Anonymity opens up split personality zone

I've heard a lot abut that at work - we get some atrocious phone calls from parents. People who don't think thats its a person on the other end of the line - it can be really hurtful and even psychologically damaging. The other end of it is that when you are a faceless worker (supermarket drone?) then people feel that they can take it out on you. You are wearing the badge/uniform, you can take it for the company. The anonymity of a uniform makes people think thats acceptable.

Personally, I think I am much nicer on the phone, driving, and on-line than I am in person. But not nearly as funny.

Anonymity opens up split personality zone Faceless communication online or over phone often turns nice people nasty One minute, they’re nice, normal people. The next, they’re frothing at the mouse.(...)
