It is the ONLY solution that works, as shown many times including

These people are also victims of bad corporate management and
they should complain to their managers, not to their fellow victims.

There are no presently enforceable laws for this kind of corporate
abuse.  The only thing that works is hitting the malafactors directly.

Those with a quiet moment who want to see a novel, amusing and detailed

I'd welcome any comments.
