i quit
I quit my job yesterday funny enough. I feel that when you decide to work in a call centre, it’s like a test of your nerve. Not only are they full of little managers, deputy managers,, deputy deputy managers, senior single ops managers, but what exactly is it that they do? It’s us on the frontline who actually know how to do our jobs and do it effectively, all these dick heads know what to do is walk around, no actually, slither around shouting sell sell sell in your ear while you are trying to speak with a customer.
Anyways, yesterday it all came to a halt! I stayed in my boyfriend’s house on Wednesday after a lovely meal with my friends, so I decided to spend some quality time with my squeeze. It was ok but I was conscious I had a job interview in the morning so I wanted a quick shag then sleep. We did the deed and I turned over and tried to sleep. He got up came back in and sat eating a packet of onion rings, the smell of them was making my stomach turn, but at the end of the day, his bed his apartment, give him the by ball. Then he started eating a cornetto and may I add this was 2.30 in the morning.
My nerves were starting to wear thin. He finally went to sleep and surprise surprise, the cum sleep effect wore off and I was lying there trying to sleep. I must have got to sleep at about 4.30am got woke up at 7 with my boyfriend wrapping himself round me poking me with his penis. That was it officially the start of a bad day.
I ended up cancelling my interview and went into work guns blazing. I erupted at the first person I seen because he was shouting at me for not explaining what a wireless modem is to a customer, so I freaked out, who the fuck doesn’t know what a wireless modem is?? Then I went through the day trying to sell the product to the customers (ignorant bastards) who were ringing me as its all inbound. I handled my objections, used the nicest tone possible and didn’t sell a fucking thing. It was awful. Plus the customer service line was down so I had about 45 calls with customers complaining that they cant get through, despite the recorded message telling them that the line was down and they should try again later or try tomorrow. Oh no they decide to torture the sales team who know nothing about customer service.
Then I had all these little fucking manager people asking me why I wasn’t selling on my calls, well I would if it was a sales call!!! oh god it was terrible.
Anyway 7 o’clock came and the calls were flying in. One customer just hit a nerve and I flipped, took my headset off, threw it at the monitor and grabbed the phone and flung it off my table. My exact words to the senior single server ops manger were, "there’s my fucking pass, there’s my fucking head set, get the fuck off bebo and you try to sell something, shove you’re job up your arse you no good fuckwit" and I stormed out of the building. Ill be surprised if I get a bonus. So there you go. I QUIT (in style). length 3 long months.

Ahh, lovely call centres
I hate em too, and congrats for the rant.... Middle managment tossers are fun to shout at! I worked in a call centre once, 3 weeks. I got one positive reply, by accident.

I am very jealous
There is absolutely no way that my girlfriend would let me eat onion rings in bed (hers or mine) at 2.30 in the morning.

Could do with a Cornetto though.

This made me want
Onion rings. If I tried that in bed, my fiancee would eat them all!

We were obviously brought together through our mutual love of onion rings.
