The VIP Who Skips the Queue

Your biggest logo, your smallest patience window.

FFrontier Labs 4.4 (621) 5,589 taken 25m Shift Lead

The situation

Your largest customer — 40% of revenue, contract renewal next month — DMs the shift lead directly: a critical report isn't generating before market open in 30 minutes, and 'I don't want a ticket number, I want it fixed.' Meanwhile your queue has a genuine P1 from a smaller customer that's been waiting. You have to give the VIP white-glove handling, triage fairly without throwing the other customer under the bus, and not let 'VIP' rewrite your severity rules into chaos.
