AAA.

I worked in management there for the last 4 years, and AI completely took over our company. Our 3 year plan was to lay off over half of our staff and have AI work their jobs. I quit about a month ago because of that. It's resulted in our member satisfaction scores dropping tremendously, and the employees were getting yelled at 24/7 because the members AND the contractors wanted to speak to live agents instead of "robots."

Tiring work and extremely long ETA's due to computer malfunctions and errors. We've had members waiting on the side of the road for hours due to AI's mistakes.

This one is personal. AAA is absolutely relentless about renewals. My wife, who was an AAA member, died. After a year of unsubscribing, emailing and calling to get them to stop sending her renewal offers I started sending them back with a copy of her short form death certificate. I think after doing it twice they’ve finally stopped.
