I was originally assigned to a seat (10D) where I had the row to myself. Just before boarding, I received a notification that I had been moved to a different seat (9D). When I checked the seating chart, I noticed that my original row had been given to an airline employee, who ended up with a row to themselves.
I asked the gate agent why my seat was changed, but the response I received was dismissive and somewhat sarcastic, implying I was being unreasonable for questioning the reassignment.
While I understand prioritizing employees and operational needs, I found both the seat change and the way it was handled to be frustrating and poorly communicated.
