My coworker's 'post it publicly' advice got me 3 angry DMs in 2 hours
A guy from my old job told me to call out a bad vendor on the company's public page instead of going through support. I did it during my lunch break and got a cease and desist threat plus two nasty replies from strangers in Philadelphia. Has anyone else found that public shaming just makes things worse instead of fixing them?

Wait, did the vendor's lawyers happen to be based in Philadelphia, or were those just random angry people who hate public callouts for fun? Because that's a whole other level of dedicated rage. I learned the hard way that "post it publicly" is great advice if you want a free lawsuit and a bunch of strangers acting like you insulted their grandma. Honestly, the only thing that worked for me was tagging the company's CEO in a mildly sarcastic tweet, but even that came with three days of passive aggressive "we value your feedback" nonsense. Next time, just print the vendor's email, tape it to your monitor, and stare at it until you feel better.
