Disregarded And Laughed At By Men
You are losing a customer.
I just called my insurance agency and asked to be assigned to a different agent.
When compassion is problematic
Okay, so this whole thing is difficult for me. I hate conflict. And I have compassion that clouds my view. Yes, I feel. I feel that I am causing conflict. Will my agent will get in trouble because of me? Could he lose his job? Is he having crisis is his life that prevents him from doing his job? Do I have the power to “hurt” him? It all causes me to focus on myself. But this thinking all comes from being treated poorly throughout my life. It is good for me to dig down and understand the thinking behind my feelings. But NO! None of this can be relevant. What is relevant is that I deserve better. And now it just feels infuriating after my interactions with these guys today.
Agency vs. Company
I am currently with an independent insurance company. This is as opposed to what they call direct or captive insurance. This company goes out for quotes of a variety of companies for the best price. This agency through my assigned agent is the one that I have to deal with directly, not the insurance company. Agency vs. company.
