Just talking about myself here but deadset I got some real mind issues too, mate
I don’t wanna make you feel bad or anything just if I don’t go to work I still got all my problems plus no money that is probably the main reason I go to work

It also gives me something to do, honestly

It’s probably 50-50 idk
[close]

Nah I get that for sure and that's how it is for everyone but the way my nervous system reacts just makes it unbearable and I can't drag myself into a work situation even though money obvsiously helps. I've been in work bathrooms cutting myself and I force my way through a lot too but it reaches a point where it's just unsafe.

Lol seeing a post like that would've got me through a shift but I took the day off and got fired without warning or a talk or anything.

that fucking sucks.

i did call center jobs and got fired, too. i wasn't too mad, since i hated it. but those situations when you can't really go to work due to anxiety or depression, then you get fired and then you have even more anxiety because you are broke and can't even leave the house to look for another job. i know that shit, it's so frustrating and has been a big part of my life for periods.

i found that working in public as barkeeper or in retail has made me more resilient so i can handle the anxiety 95% of the time and my longest kept job is at this bar i've been working at for 5 years now. i'm not really the type extroverted barkeep, but i am so familiar with the place and its guests by now, which makes it very bearable for me.

i had a seasonal stint as a commis de range that was basically me having a 4 month long panic attack due to crazy shifts and sleep deprivation.

I think call centres are tough

Full worked for Telstra back in the day it was pretty good just answering phones nah it was actual sick, they had api bar upstairs on fridays, tennis courts on the other roof and a fat gym
Pretty much got in on the tail end of the last hurrah of a particular union
They ended up just sacking everyone and setting up call centres in ph as you do, but after that fully did a couple years in like mid 2000s in shitter call centres, was ringing up cunts for ge money like when they hadn’t paid their credit card

I was used to a particular way of doing that job I suppose and they were always like you’re not making good payment arrangements and I never said it but I though fuck it’s not my money these cunts owe and they pay was shitter so I didn’t care it was a full shitter job they sacked me just after New Years like fully walked me off the floor I was spewing cause I’d spent all my money on New Years and they said we were gonna sack you last month but it was Christmas
They probably did the right thing walking me off the floor, protected me and them with their rows of computers lmao
I was so upset ay it was fully humiliating

After that sold $80 phone plans to pensioners, outbound for like a fifth of what Telstra were paying me
That job fucking sucked

I look back at that shit I mean I probably blacked a bunch out but I was pretty much on le bender the whole time back then I’m just trying to say I see you Sila
Those call centres are horrid mate

What are your expenses can you just get on cennos for a bit do some courses that are in line with what you want to do and go from there
That’s what it’s there for, ay

I uhh edited it cause I said they’re instead of their

Edit

Check ya dms bro

Jealous of all you chads (haha) that can hold down jobs. I just got sacked from my at home call centre position for taking a day off every week for the last three weeks. I have hardcore depressive episodes and just can't keep up.

That's my job, too. We get monitored for schedule adherence and I shirk as much as I can possibly get away with. Being on-call constantly is anxiety-inducing for sure. Can only imagine having to cope with that in your case. Sorry to hear it, but you'll find something better man!

Ohhhh

What a sick cunt!

Silly me lmao

Edit

I’m at the pub I don’t get it I am confused as shit here

Are they photoshops or is bloke a full big dick player of a filmer

I’m so confused

One day these younger cunts are gonna get old and confused too
I photoshopped the pictures on the screens just dicking around, but the gear in the photos is real. I don't own it personally but I got to pick it all out and spend my bosses money on it.  We just videotape witnesses being asked questions by lawyers,  but sometimes I get to produce video ads for the business and other projects so I can let the creative juices flow.

Get hungry on it!

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…

I been carpooling with a mate that’s doing this job a couple blocks away, cunts job got shut down so he went home early

I finished 2.5 hours ago but put off the public transport, now I’m wasted and I got this tram to a bus stop, headed to a train station to take me back to Brisbane

This some 1920s shit for sure, 3.5 hours of public transport to get home
If I didn’t have a dog I woulda just stayed at one of those backpacker joints and dealt with going home tomorrow

Got the rums but so it’s chilling


Don’t even have a Wendy on me, pretty shit ay
That’s a joint

Edit

Fuck man, I’m on the wrong bus wtf

I’ll be right cheers mate I got off and got Uber to train station

Call centres and qa was a long ass time ago but the shit they like to see is low aht and low wrap

Best bet is just make the cunt wait on the line while you do your shit
Spin some bullshit to them like I’m just initialising your shit you gotta stay on the line so the changes go through properly, I’ll get back to you when it’s done
If you properly sold em on the features and benefits you got em and they’ll wait
Pensioners 100% used to believe that

Fuck this brought back bad memories I fully attempted to unlearn all that sales bullshit a long time ago

I don’t wanna talk about call centres anymore

Fucked my trainer or well she fucked me more like, I went to hers one arvo and fully got blackout drunk
She wasn’t even that pretty I fully thought she just wanted to buy weed
Call centres are shit as
I’m not having a dig but I’d go to jail for doing that to a young girl
wtf
Don’t do it, Sila

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

I am in technical sales for a manufacturing company and it’s not all bad. I get to visit production facilities and work with engineers. If selling is helping someone select the right product then you feel better about yourself.

Always be nice to telephone sales people that call your house. It really helps them get through the day.

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…

I am in technical sales for a manufacturing company and it’s not all bad. I get to visit production facilities and work with engineers. If selling is helping someone select the right product then you feel better about yourself.

Always be nice to telephone sales people that call your house. It really helps them get through the day.

Yeah I get ya. I was AE for Oracle, Salesforce and New Relic. I lied myself and powered through for years. Quit to do landscaping. Best thing I ever did.

Here's me today. Spent the cutting down pyracantha and pulling Ivy and briars off the wall. You weren't able to see the wall at the start of the day. My hands are cut to bits ha.

Thanks for the offer man.

Unfortunately I'm in Dublin Ireland. You can tell from the greyness and grim clouds ha.
Ha, that’s why I thought you were in the Bay.

Just got a 13k raise because I found out another engineer I’m training got hired at 10k more than my salary. Always discuss salary with coworkers.

It actually sucks though because I hate my job and finding something tolerable that pays the same is going to be very difficult.

Be careful, some people are actually really fucking good and although I have some skills as an engineer, I lack in other areas that I didnt want to work on.  I got hired as one with no formal engineering degree, and I always kept being told it was because I didnt have a degree which was the biggest crock of shit

A week away from finishing my 3rd year carpentry apprenticship course, one step closer to that Red Seal status (Canada).

Back to the rainy coast in November to finish framing the second floor of a sizeable house and get the roof on, almost wished I had set it up so that I could be in the warm classroom/shop for a month and a half during the cold wet season but with all this free time I have been able to skate for upwards of 3hrs every day and my skate game has gotten significantly better as a result. Coming back to a raise is always nice as well.

I seldom leave the wooden toy banter forum so I'm stoked to have came across this. Cheers to my fellow 1920's workers.

Those Bundy's and coke are the business.

In a can they’re pretty good, but Bundaberg on its own is the worst rum I’ve ever tasted, and this comes from someone who enjoys Newfoundland Screech

Can't argue with you there.

It’s feral out of the bottle, used to save money and just get the bottle and mix it myself with coke but by the end of it you’ve got the mixes backwards, just like all rum and a bit of coke for colour and you’re fucked

That time I lost it on here went nutty on everyone I was on them and it was a mad storm, I ran out of booze and the dog wanted to come for a walk so I walked through this estate to the tavern and it was dark as fuck and storming, full made it through this flooded creek thing in my thongs like holding the hand rail as hard as I could and I had the dog in other arm it was probably up to knees but coming back was sketchy cause I didn’t have enough hands for the bottle
It was all good but if I dropped my dog maybe she would have been gone, idk if I could have got her
Only fuck with the cans now

The cans are much safer
They make some much better stuff like with a cork instead of the screw top, it’s way better you can drink it straight

Their ginger beer is pretty good too hey @DaleSr
