Are you talking about people that keep their customer service voice on in the regular world? 
nah I think they genuinely start to sound like that because everybody else does
Customer service people I know don't talk with their cs voice
Since you mention marketing, HR, and tech people specifically, it's probably just their lack of soul lol
Well I didn't want to mention it because it's not scientific at all but it does generally have this air of very confident smug pompousness that says I'm better and smarter than you
And the thing that separates tech workers from the rest is this extra verbosity and quickness to the cadence they speak. Probably developed from having to communicate every small detail at work and the desire to optimize everything, including the time of their speech
is it an accent or is it just code switching (or failure to code switch)?
No it's a bit different than their work code switch
Now I wonder if news anchors have their same accent off camera
"That was an incredible massage, Tom; fucky time at 10:00"
