I worked a call centre job for 3 weeks, I was the annoying prick that called you about your insurance.
It’s been 5 years and I still have dreams about it, I hated it that much even if the money was good. I showed up one morning, sat at my desk with my coat on, didn’t turn my computer on, and just left without telling anyone.
I got my factory job a week later, it was supposed to last a few months so I could find something better, but it’s been 5 years and don’t see myself leaving anytime soon. They even paid me to go to trade school so I could become one of their mechanics.
I was in retail from 16 to 27, worked 3 weeks in a call centre and almost went nuts. Factory work may be a little boring at first, but I’ve never had such a stress-free job. Never once have I gotten up in the morning thinking “aw fuck not again”. I will never return to a customer service job.
It’s crazy what a change of scenery can do for someone.
I worked in inside sales from 23-33. My last day my 4th manager in three years printed out a binder’s worth of website searches (no porn) and plopped them on the table in front of me. I was fired and then he escorted me from the premises. He was let go less than a year later when the office moved to NE. Inside sales is a mind fuck. 100 calls, 10 conversations, 2 closes. All day , 40 hours a week. Im going to throw up now…
100 calls lmao last time I checked still got the tsa national record for the most phone plans sold on outbound in a day
I had no money that day and I bet the team leader 100 bucks i could do 20 recontracts in a work day, ended up on 41 that was over fifteen years ago and ten years ago it still stood
Cunt didn’t even have money I lost my shit and made his missus get it out on her credit card
I walked out of there feeling like I was on drugs
Couldn’t sleep that night just rushing
That shit makes you manic it’s fucked
Outbound wed just burn leads you can tell off how they answer if it’s gonna be easy or hard you wanna cherry pick that shit, if the answer and they sound like a fuckwit best bet is to hang up and log it as an answering machine
LOL
That’s why they got so pissed, cause the dialler just kept trying to call them!
Feedback loop lmao
Call centres are like facehuggers
Nuke the site from orbit
It’s the only way to be sure
Edit
This is fucked but I was a kid, so I needed an abn for those dodge call centres
Fully didn’t have one just looked up the registry for a cunt with my name and used his abn
Yeah, never paid any tax on that shit, ever
Other bloke would have though, he must have
I tried to block a lot of this out but this thread got some shit coming back
I got a bonus in cocaine one Christmas
Thought it was cool at the time, jokes on you Matty
