Could never call in sick or decide to play for the day. Hours were long and the job physically exhausting. My friends thought I had it made. They had no idea of how difficult my life was while doing this. My life was nothing but business and very little fun. Nope.....don't want to do that again. . |

Well, that is if you want to be successful. They always tell you it's all about sacrifices. Sounds like you felt as though you were thinking it should have been easier than this. |

T-Man Entitled title User ID: 29080459 Netherlands 04/04/2013 03:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | when i was 18 i worked for a call center. it was the most inhuman thing ever. i had to help people pick prices for points they earned. a phone call was supposed to be delt with in 3 minutes (even tho the people wanted to know EVERY possible thing they could get for free or at discount) and my direct leader was a 35 year old super fat girl that was obviously single that would tell me i had to do better? lol. like, how.. anyway. in my second week i went to the bathroom to call a friend and when i came back she asked me why i was away so long and that bathroom breaks shouldnt be longer than 5 minutes max. (trust me it wasnt a LONG talk. about the time of a number 2) so i said "yea well what if im feeling sick but didnt want to call in sick?" she said something along the lines of "make sure you do it in time, next time" i just laughed at her and the idea of working in a cubicle. giving away "free" stuff that the people paid for anyway. having a boss that was in no way superior to me whatsoever. it was just a joke. so i laughed at her and walked to my cubicle and got my stuff. she asked what i was doing so i said i was leaving. she then thought she was hard telling me "i might not have to come back in the morning" wich made me laugh again. so i told her i was leaving and not planning on comming back. she said i couldnt do that. so i laughed again imagining her calling security to hold me there and force me to work. haha wich obviously wouldnt happen. so i told her good bye and left. never to come back. all she said than was (it was in dutch obivously) something along the lines of i would still have to work for them for another month. wich made me laugh again. i walked out. got paid another month and never returned. also the best day ever. now i do work i like alot. |
