Add designated engineer details and adjust wording throughout to updated process
Why is this change being made?
We're incorporating a few changes to help further clarify and define the role of a Support Manager when it comes to Account Escalations. Some of these changes are small but global (change management issues are actively being created for all global changes), and some pertain only to the AMER region.
These changes include:
- (AMER only) Actively trialing having a designated escalations engineer to take technical lead on account escalations for customers in AMER, as they come in.
- (Global change) Add in details on the ZD organization field to indicate if an account is escalated (see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support/support-ops/zendesk-global/triggers/-/issues/70).
- (Global change) Highlight the Escalated Customers project and use of incident issues and retro issues as Support's space to track our progress and work for Account Escalations.
Additionally, wording has been adjusted in an attempt to improve overall clarity.
