Yes, when they type the ticket in it pages someone who can action it. They don't wait till 9am next morning to service the ticket. They get it done as humanly as possible.

I'm not sure where you get that idea from but companies the size of google don't page engineers because of customer tickets, regardless of whether they're opened by a callcenter agent or e-mail.

Their callcenters process thousands of calls per hour. Yours is, quite literally, a drop in the bucket.

They have monitoring in place where one of the metrics is is elevated support inquiries. However, you only appear in that bucket after someone, and usually not the callcenter agent, has triaged your ticket.

Maybe not for a $12 domain registration but Amazon does in some cases.

I'm also pretty sure that is what Google's Cloud Platform Platinum offers if you are willing to pay enough. [This part is just a guess]

I give up. Some people here seem to really want to believe their calls are making a difference. I guess they do on an emotional level...
