their google one initiative seems to have "dedicated customer support" whatever that means to google. maybe google knows about the issue and is just all fucked up due to competing PMs trying to create the perfect customer support service(which seems to be the case with all their products)

In my experience, google has _never_ had good customer support/relations, unless you're currently paying google for the product.

If you know Google doesn't provide adequate customer support, just don't use it?

You're an apologist who is spouting nonsense.Other companies solve this problem, Google hasn't and they should do better. Perhaps by involving a real support person.

It's all good until you have to deal with Google support

If this is true then maybe finally Google can do some customer support.

I heard google's lack of customer support is a feature when it comes to security.

emptyparadise Jan 16, 2021 View on HN

Yup, that's the classic Google support experience.

Google has support personel? Sure doesn't feel like it when dealing with them

More proof google support only works if you manage to get publicity... otherwise you are SOL
