    One thing I learned working at the call center is mastering the “I’m here to help” voice while my soul is permanently on hold.

Humans aren't meant to sit in a tiny cubicle desk for 8 hours talking on the phone to strangers who don't want to talk to you. At first it was a fun game but slowly turned into misery.

    I said this repeatedly to people I met at the AT&T call center I once worked for: "the only way the job is manageable is if you don't care about it whatsoever". Personally, I don't get rattled when customers raise their voice or get upset, I just put the volume down, let them rant and laugh. Didn't happen often because I'm a good conversationalist and built a good rapport with the customers. That said, I did see a number of employees actually get carried out in an ambulance because they couldn't handle the stress, so it can actually reach that point. Anyway, after a few months of just getting tired of the repetitive nature of the calls, I did everything I could (take minutes between calls mostly) to give them an ultimatum; either move me to a new department or fire me. To their credit, they transferred me to a department where I assisted technicians in the field, which was obviously more laid-back. Great video, but one scenario you missed: the agitated customer calling and complaining about having to speak with offshore agents previously.

      Same here with nightmares. I quit on my second month of trail period and took a sick leave for notice period because I was having mental breakdowns basically daily. I have nothing lined up, I'm searching for a job desperatly, yet I couldn't be happier. I feel like 10 tons have been lifted off my shoulders after handing the resignation

    I was working in TV systems support, but beside technical support we also needed to do sales of company’s partner organisation equipment after we have helped customers with their problems.
    So one day there was a granny who called about her problem, I helped her and as usual started to sale equipment. She told me that she has cancer andd was not even able to buy food, so I stopped and wished her a good day. Later my manager called me and told that I should have keep offering her cheaper variants.
    I quit that soulless place a week later

    Worked for almost a year full time in a call center. As a person that is generally not talking much it was a big burden. I worked in sales, though I was always in the top 10-15% of workers, bad days or even hours were annoying, because of the pressure from our team leaders. I was coming off a gambling addiction and failed degree, this job made me regret my poor life choices every day

    I worked in a Dutch outbound company once, a side hustle since I was a student. 100 people worked there, some people had a permanent contract (20). Basically every week 10 new ones were hired, half of them didn’t make it through the first month.
    This meant that there were basically 80 spots for people without a permanent contract, 5 new ones would join who would last more than 4 weeks. So every week you had a 1/16 chance to be replaced.
    Funny enough I was invited for a job interview for a senior position, I didn’t make it and 3 weeks later I was somehow fired. The company where I applied saw I worked there 80 weeks and found that to be impressive. I must have some motivation and a university degree, right? Well that was the start of my professional career after I finished university. I kind of enjoyed my time there.

  • @richcharvel7162

    I worked in a 'cable tv/online internet service' call center (for years), and this video pretty much nailed it. I LOL'd at certain parts (like Wojak's facial expressions when a call came in). I could write a book about some of the insane lunatics that I've had to deal with on the phones. I finally got out of there, finished my college requirements and got my degree (and a MUCH better job) and I'm much more happier these days. Sometimes, I still have bad dreams about that call center, but the bad dreams (thankfully) have become less frequent. When I run into my former co-workers that left the center (after me), they all say the same thing.."It was the best thing that they ever did to get their lives back ". I always try to be nice to the call center employees that I deal with on the phones. I know exactly what they have to go through.
