Hanging up, which they do a lot, is easier if you’re not surrounded by colleagues. I know it’s all recorded, but I bet it’s impossible to listen back to every interaction, and there are probably multiple opportunities to get the recording deleted/lost/reviewed in-house by a friend at the same contractor rather than by LH in DE.
If the agent hangs up, it‘s likely just as well… and one avoids an active HUACA oneself 😉
