I once asked an old timer at my work, "Hey, Joe, when you gonna retire?" He said, "Sheeeyit, boy, I retired two years ago. Now I just show up and collect the checks!"
The issue with bosses firing people is (at least here, in my country) - you need to have it WRITTEN. So if a boss only tells you "you´re fired", it doesn´t mean anything, unless you´re given a piece of paper, which says that.
@@Morpheus-pt3wq LOL, in my last company, the meaning of "firing you" means they put you in another project/customer, and you just keep working for the company and get your salary as always.
@@WinstonSmithGPT The attorneys? Or the collections people who go too far? I never said it was a good choice, just that collections people are highly encouraged to manipulate, bully, and be horrible to the people they're collecting from.
"Punching bag" is not in my job description. If you want me to help, you will keep a civil tongue. Otherwise, I will exercise my right to refuse service.
When I was working outbound dispatch at a nationwide security company, if a customer started cussing me out and acting the fool, they got one warning. I was not paid to put up with abuse. I got called on that a few times during QA sessions, but never backed down. They didn't pay us enough to put up with out and out offensive behavior. No one should have to endure that.

To all the Stephania's, hang in there. Today isn't forever and all roads turn off. I've worked in places where hardly a day went by without someone weeping in the bathroom. That's a lot of emotional damage in exchange for a little piece of a check. For the record, she's not necessarily weak. Sometimes that caller was just the last straw.
Exactly. When you battle through a shift with customers who yell, lecture, don't pay attention, etc, you're so exhausted and fed up you cry all the way home. Been there many times.
No, that caller was her first one. Her training left her unprepared to deal with irate and abusive customers and she got a doozy for her very first one.
It's a toss up between that and "And you're never gonna cry again". Customer service reps need those kinds of coworkers / trainers. By all means, do your job. Strive to do it well, but give NO QUARTER to the ones just looking for an abuse victim.
In my three years working with a company I knew of two "fired" customers we had. The mornings it was announced we'd no longer be serving them and to forward all their calls calls to management were the two best days working there. Shame it didn't happen for more individual cases of abuse, but I guess caller abuse had a threshold that just didn't go far enough when dealing with individuals.
@@lillones "Fire" no, but I guess I have to spell it out since you're not getting it. We no longer did business with them because of the abuse they'd give us. Also remembering back to another job when I was in high school we'd also have customers in retail that we would refuse service from on a regular basis because they would literally abuse the company policies to cause the store to lose money. You shouldn't preach to bad employees either and just fire them. Bad employees never want to get better, they just want to do enough to get you off their back.
Everyone that is new in a call center and has NOT been properly trained on how to handle a disgruntled customer needs someone like Veronica sitting next to them. My first call center job I would nearly jump out of my skin when my phone would ring. They finally sat me next to someone who had done call center jobs before even though she was new to our company. Just being next to her and hearing how she handled things helped me know how to speak to people that were being rude and not letting me talk.
I was in customer service when I started at my company. I used to just school them if they crossed a line such as likening my coworkers to animals or threatening. I got apologies when I did. Sometimes I just pull out the Mom Voice and I'm not even a mom. I moved to collections and the customers got nicer. Yeah, I don't know either. Anyway, now all my accounts are state government agencies and I don't even have to talk to them (just leave a voicemail) and they pay when I'm not looking. Inbound customer service sucks in every company. It just does.
I quit call centers forever because of managers who let the customers walk all over us. I also had one center where QA was just code for "you're not getting enough people to answer our surveys, and we want to cut your hours to 1 hour a day, 5 days a week so you have to quit and can't get unemployment."
During my call center training, the 2 people sitting next to me both had extensive call center experience. They helped & encouraged me through training when I thought I couldn't do it. Now, I love job and am so grateful to them.
The sad thing is, that handling difficult customers is often not the only thing they haven't been trained on. Many managers just want bodies in chairs to stop the phones from ringing and push new hires out before they even know the job. The only thing worse than dealing with a lunatic on the phone is dealing with them when you barely know what you're doing.
Customer service/call center work is different when you're dealing with consumers than when you're dealing with other businesses. I've done both. In b2b customer service, you have to deal with upset purchasing agents, but you are not nearly as likely to get somebody being a completely abusive jerk over the phone about it. Because THAT would reflect badly on their employer. Consumers upset about a past due balance don't have that concern and can be abusive af when they don't get their way. But I handled abusive customers the exact same way in either situation "Excuse me, but doing business with this company does not give you permission to talk like that to me. I can't possibly help resolve your situation while you're yelling like this. You have my number obviously; when you've calmed down, feel free to call me back and we can work on this." and then hang up.
My standard line for these people is "i can see you dont want my help so Im ending the call now. Have a good day" then they hear click. Respectfully said of course.
My ticket notes for an IT service desk call will include/end with "User declined further troubleshooting, and will need to call back when they are available for the next steps." Praise be CYA.
@@jonathandpg6115yes, it is where I work in medical billing. A customer can yell and cuss at you for 1/2 hour and you have to sit there and take it. I usually just mute the call, turn down the sound, and let them rant. Eventually they hang up. It’s not worth getting my blood pressure up to go back and forth with a miserable person, especially when they don’t let you talk anyways. If they ask a question I’ll respond of course. QA can’t get you on that as you’re not doing anything wrong, customer is not letting you help them.
@@kellyvaters1689 Tried that once. Lost my pay raise because on that 25 minute berate session I only tried helping the customer at 9 out of 10 opportunities and didn't repeat our required call ending in triplicate. I literally tried following the company policy to the T, even reported the call to my higher ups, but when they reviewed the call they just poked the two holes in it that made it my fault. Three months later I was told I wouldn't be getting a raise, but I was lucky compared to others who would've lost their jobs.

This can be very common with people who were abused as children (verbally, emotionally, etc.) or were in bad relationships, or simply never learned to assert themselves for one reason or another. It can start very small--just take a small thing and assert your desire over it, and go from there. In my case (narcissistic, religious abuse), it's gotten to the point where everything within arms' length is not negotiable and most of my "family" (they aren't) is not welcome.
every service call center needs a department like this. Give the worker shit when all they are doing is trying to help and get transferred to the workers who dont give a shit right back.
true. i have had frustrating experiences with companies just like the next person and tbh, there are companies with sub-par service, but the person on the phone is almost never part of the problem, they don't decide anything. on the contrary: if you behave at least decent, most are more than happy to be part of the solution.
I've had better outcomes by being civil than I likely would have if I'd been a "Karen." Then again, having worked in service industries, I would never treat another human like that. (Well. I might throw hands at an executive sort who is removed from the reality of the front lines. They're usually the source of most everyone's grief.)
I've had some horrible customer service calls and called back and said "I'm really sorry. Im mad at the previous person and I'm trying really hard not to be mad at you because it's not your fault. Do you have notes on what's going on? Or do you want to hand me off to a manager?" It's not fun on either end of that call bit the customer doesn't have to roll into another one.
Nah sometimes you need to be rude when a company gives you the runaround for a month. Don't willingly choose to represent a shit company. Case and point - these are the same corporate people "veronica" complains about in every other video. Now all of a sudden Veronica's company is a bunch of saints?
@@chrisruskai9341 There's a difference between being rude and being civil, though. You can be angry and let it show, demand different reps or managers, etc, or explain what your problem is with their solutions (or lack thereof) without attacking the person probably not earning enough for that to be their only job they need to survive.
If all the employees were like Veronica, for sure this world would be a better place. Unfortunately reality is completely different and a lot of people don't stand for themselves because the system is built up to be against them no matter what they do. Veronica's videos are a good example for how to start a new revolution in the work environment.
I have a coworker at a hotel that’s 29 who’s gone through almost 30 jobs in his life so far. The staff I work with is genuinely and categorically the kind that is so about that Veronica life and it’s so great seeing someone you’re “taking care of” blossom and thrive with good people to support them
@@Libbathegreat So if they forced you to pay that what would your reaction be And just remember if you get upset or don't want to pay it you're suddenly a pushy deadbeat by your own standards
This is exactly what happens when I train the sweetest newcomers. It's like the worst customers only come on their line spewing venom. Then I have to go from sweet to sour mode to handle business. #sourcandy
Unfortunately the customer has likely called multiple times, been on hold for hours, and dealt with multiple people telling her the issue was resolved only for it to be a continuing rolling balance. Yes, she still shouldn't be rude, but everyone has their breaking point, and large companies like this do everything they can to break the customer, and employee spirit so the employee takes the full heat of the customers rage, and the customer either gives up and pays the $25, or vents all their anger on the employee. Either way the CEO gets their millions of dollars, and keeps raising the price of the service while cutting the salary of the employee.
I had a similar experience, and I had to remind myself that it's not the person on the phone's fault but the stupidity of the company itself. I had to try so hard not to take it out on them 😑
As someone who did this you have to put people in their place with a smile they can hear and a terror they can feel. Don’t let someone tell you how to do your job.
Well then DO your job. Why do you think people are so frustrated? Yes, it is not correct to talk to a rep that way. It is also not correct to frustrate customers and get them to that point. When you have to go through an average of 5 reps to get a situation resolved, that’s a PROBLEM.
The problem you are having is with the company, not the individual. They set up the rules, you choose to give them your money. Ok .......And sometimes they sit there listening to the calls.
@@gandhiangles3213 I did do my job, when a customer requested that I provide advice for a medical issue they were having. I clearly told them I was not medically trained and they needed to call their doctor for advice. The customer threatened to call corporate and I told them to dial away and to make sure they spelled my name correctly.😁
I remember people acting tough on the phone. Once you call them out and tell them to keep it civil they get scared like the bulliedbwho would not bully you because it would mean that they wouldn't get away with it.
Girl this made me so happy, as a former customer service rep lol... I know how that first day and last day feels so different when you learn to not take nonsense from rude customers 😂
Did five+ years at a call center. I've done this for some of my new team members. Felt so good to be in a unique situation where I kw enough to be helpful and have skills most of the supervisors did not have, so many times I noted accounts like this with my number to transfer to so other don't have to deal with shit like that.
Real shit 💯 I've cancelled orders, closed accounts, and then blacklisted customers for that sort of treatment. And I never got in trouble for it because I was fully justified in doing it.
My very first call was for 6 different monogrammed bags going to 6 different addresses.😂 I know every bag was wrong and they all went to the wrong place.
@@mypointofview1111 all agree but fact still remains most people cant afford to risk being fired for cause because in that case you would not be eligible for unemployment benefits in most states. by all means stand up for yourself and insist on civility but that won't mean you will get it and have another job available to go to because every company will have their own policies on how to deal with abusive customers. and if you took action outside of those policies then it is grounds for write ups or termination. it sucks but that's the US for ya
@@mypointofview1111 Even if you make $17 / hour, sometimes the stress isn't worth it. My most recent job was in a call center, lasted 1 year & 4 months. My Mom died in March & in April the dept. mgr. emailed me about my scores being so low. Of course, he wasn't aware that she died, but I knew that he didn't give 2 shits. I decided it wasn't worth the stress on my mental health and quit.
I work fast food the moment your rude to me is the moment i stop trying to help you most people in the service industry want to help you so if you're taking your crap out on them understand they don't have an obligation and can refuse service
It took me 3 1/2 hours with 4 chats and several phone calls to close my comcast account. That is systemic. that is design. The employee's were complicit in this scam. I'm as polite as I can be but Comcast is awful and their employees should quit
Not in France! In France it’s the other way around; customer service do not GAF😂😂😂😂 They get paid a crappy wage anyways and get unemployment benefits if they get fired so if they even feel bad vibe from you they either tell you what time it is or hang up on you😂😂😂😂
@@Libbathegreat Well there is a third party mediator that goes over any work complaint and makes sure that the employee is being treated fairly but even without it, unemployment benefits are far better in France than in the US because a big chunk of tax income goes towards social benefits and healthcare. So most customer service jobs aren’t well paid so they don’t care if they get fired since they get unemployment benefits for up to two years and you get a good percentage of your salary. Also French people in general don’t have time for people with attitude and will match your energy and the manager will most likely let it slide. The amount of time that I got dragged or hung up on by French customer service is insane 😂😂😂
Imagine how less TOXIC the workplace could be with a new generation of "Veronicas!" ❤ (And by "generation," no age limit implied. Rude customers and work associates can also show up at any age🙂)
It never seems to dawn on some customers that the CSR can actually help them solve whatever problem the customer has. I think a lot of customers just want to call up and bitch at someone because the customer has effed something up or forgotten to pay a bill.
I need some of this training! I get stomped on, steamed rolled over and generally mistreated by boss and coworkers. There needs to be a legit Veronica Training course out there.

Veronika is the CEO and Stephania is in training for the next VP of “ Who you think you’re talking to?”
By claiming an error is no longer an error with no proof Just cause someone's rude wow what a ceo That's promotes stealing from their customers
@CelticRuneSinger or it promotes setting boundaries.
@@CelticRuneSinger Or it promotes not giving in to pushy deadbeats 🤷♀
@@Lavenderrose73 So stealing from your customers is now setting boundaries wow I wonder what the courts would say about that
@@Libbathegreat So if they forced you to pay that what would your reaction be And just remember if you get upset or don't want to pay it you're suddenly a pushy deadbeat by your own standards
The Veronica training should be a whole series!!!!😃
Amen, we need a whole seminar
This is exactly what happens when I train the sweetest newcomers. It's like the worst customers only come on their line spewing venom. Then I have to go from sweet to sour mode to handle business. #sourcandy
I dont know why I watch these videos at bedtime. Veronica Training! Oh lord here we go. Never cry again!!! This is a customer service battle cry!
Awesome!!! This is a VERY common situation, even in retail.
So true!
Well I officially love Veronica now.
Veronica take no stuff
For real though! People are always bullying those who are trying to help. Even in white collar jobs, its just more manipulative and fancified
"If you'd like to see me do my job, then shut the eff up, and I'll explain it."
Unfortunately the customer has likely called multiple times, been on hold for hours, and dealt with multiple people telling her the issue was resolved only for it to be a continuing rolling balance. Yes, she still shouldn't be rude, but everyone has their breaking point, and large companies like this do everything they can to break the customer, and employee spirit so the employee takes the full heat of the customers rage, and the customer either gives up and pays the $25, or vents all their anger on the employee. Either way the CEO gets their millions of dollars, and keeps raising the price of the service while cutting the salary of the employee.
I had a similar experience, and I had to remind myself that it's not the person on the phone's fault but the stupidity of the company itself. I had to try so hard not to take it out on them 😑
Oh hell yeah...so looking forward to the Veronica Training Class...sign me up!!
Her employee is about to be straight...she is getting rhe A+ Veronica Traning...💯❤💯❤
I’ve watched several of Veronica’s episodes, but this one was outstanding. Thank you.
Call centers should have role playing with the worst real life calls exercises. Then have their best Veronica teach it!
I had a coworker teach me the Veronica training version. Never cried again. 😅😂
As someone who did this you have to put people in their place with a smile they can hear and a terror they can feel. Don’t let someone tell you how to do your job.
Well then DO your job. Why do you think people are so frustrated? Yes, it is not correct to talk to a rep that way. It is also not correct to frustrate customers and get them to that point. When you have to go through an average of 5 reps to get a situation resolved, that’s a PROBLEM.
The problem you are having is with the company, not the individual. They set up the rules, you choose to give them your money. Ok .......And sometimes they sit there listening to the calls.
@@gandhiangles3213 I did do my job, when a customer requested that I provide advice for a medical issue they were having. I clearly told them I was not medically trained and they needed to call their doctor for advice. The customer threatened to call corporate and I told them to dial away and to make sure they spelled my name correctly.😁
I remember people acting tough on the phone. Once you call them out and tell them to keep it civil they get scared like the bulliedbwho would not bully you because it would mean that they wouldn't get away with it.
"This is the Veronica training." 😂😂
The right to free speech (and to be a an ignorant bully) ends with Veronica. 👍🏻💪🏻
Girl this made me so happy, as a former customer service rep lol... I know how that first day and last day feels so different when you learn to not take nonsense from rude customers 😂
If that is yelling, I would absolutely love to hear what her normal voice is.😮
YESSSSSZZZ! GET HER ALL THE WAY TOGETHER GUUUURRRLLLL!!!! #they #shouldve #had #veronika #to #train #her
My first day in a call centre I had a customer call exactly like that
Veronica is me af. I am she. 💯🎯
I've watched enough Veronika videos to now know why Veronika has had so many jobs.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lousy jobs are easy to find a replacement for.
and you're never gonna cry again 😅❤🎉
I need the Veronica training.
Did five+ years at a call center. I've done this for some of my new team members. Felt so good to be in a unique situation where I kw enough to be helpful and have skills most of the supervisors did not have, so many times I noted accounts like this with my number to transfer to so other don't have to deal with shit like that.
I love you Veronica! 🎉🎉🎉
thats f'n awesome. i am a veronica. thank you for posting. its real and important.
thank you
The Veronica training HELL YEAH!!!!!
Real shit 💯 I've cancelled orders, closed accounts, and then blacklisted customers for that sort of treatment. And I never got in trouble for it because I was fully justified in doing it.
My very first call was for 6 different monogrammed bags going to 6 different addresses.😂 I know every bag was wrong and they all went to the wrong place.
This is the training I needed my whole life!!! 😢
Sad thing though is there are some companies that will fire anyone who stands up for themselves to a customer
If you're earning minimum wage then that doesn't cover being abused. No job is worth having a heart attack over someone else's bad behaviour
@@mypointofview1111 all agree but fact still remains most people cant afford to risk being fired for cause because in that case you would not be eligible for unemployment benefits in most states. by all means stand up for yourself and insist on civility but that won't mean you will get it and have another job available to go to because every company will have their own policies on how to deal with abusive customers. and if you took action outside of those policies then it is grounds for write ups or termination. it sucks but that's the US for ya
@@mypointofview1111 Even if you make $17 / hour, sometimes the stress isn't worth it. My most recent job was in a call center, lasted 1 year & 4 months. My Mom died in March & in April the dept. mgr. emailed me about my scores being so low. Of course, he wasn't aware that she died, but I knew that he didn't give 2 shits. I decided it wasn't worth the stress on my mental health and quit.
😆 🤣 😂 nope nope nope 🙅🏾♀️ I have been this close to crying.... when I was first started. It doesn't happen any more.
She's gonna learn today 😂😂
Veronica is my spirit animal 💚🖤💛
Lol Veronica takes no mess and I’m all for it! 😂👏🏽 You go sis.
Yes, girl, you need Veronica’s training
“Veronica training,” love it’
Love me some Veronica❣❣❣
Love Veronica
Can I get her autograph 😂😂😂 I love her! If 'I don't play' was a person it's literally her😅😅😅😅
Hilarious and powerful! Go Veronica ❤
Veronika...I wished you were my trainer back when I was in corporate. You checked that customer really well.❤ Love the comebacks too❤.
Stephanie needs a hug, and Veronica needs a medal.🏆
Verónica is a tough lady but she’s got your back. Thanks for this!
My pleasure!
We need more Veronica’s in the world
I'd pay good money for the Veronica training
This brings up so many memories of call center work! I wish I had a Veronica during those times!
I work fast food the moment your rude to me is the moment i stop trying to help you most people in the service industry want to help you so if you're taking your crap out on them understand they don't have an obligation and can refuse service
It took me 3 1/2 hours with 4 chats and several phone calls to close my comcast account. That is systemic. that is design. The employee's were complicit in this scam. I'm as polite as I can be but Comcast is awful and their employees should quit
What does Comcast have to do with this?
Not in France! In France it’s the other way around; customer service do not GAF😂😂😂😂 They get paid a crappy wage anyways and get unemployment benefits if they get fired so if they even feel bad vibe from you they either tell you what time it is or hang up on you😂😂😂😂
Are they unionized? Unions are a dirty word in the US, hence most employees get walked all over, especially in the service industry.
@@Libbathegreat Well there is a third party mediator that goes over any work complaint and makes sure that the employee is being treated fairly but even without it, unemployment benefits are far better in France than in the US because a big chunk of tax income goes towards social benefits and healthcare. So most customer service jobs aren’t well paid so they don’t care if they get fired since they get unemployment benefits for up to two years and you get a good percentage of your salary. Also French people in general don’t have time for people with attitude and will match your energy and the manager will most likely let it slide. The amount of time that I got dragged or hung up on by French customer service is insane 😂😂😂
We all need a Veronica in our lives~💕
"You are never gonna cry again." Veronica is my hero.
Imagine how less TOXIC the workplace could be with a new generation of "Veronicas!" ❤
(And by "generation," no age limit implied. Rude customers and work associates can also show up at any age🙂)
It never seems to dawn on some customers that the CSR can actually help them solve whatever problem the customer has. I think a lot of customers just want to call up and bitch at someone because the customer has effed something up or forgotten to pay a bill.
oh Veronica! i still have years in customer service to go, but i promise to start my training and train those around me!
"You're never gonna cry again."
I love that she's not letting the girl talk to her coworker
I’d love Veronica training. ❤ for reasons. 😊
Veronica is the girl 🎉😊
I used to drive . There were times I'd show up for work, and our dispatcher would be literally crying.🙏
We all need Veronica training!!!
I need some of this training! I get stomped on, steamed rolled over and generally mistreated by boss and coworkers. There needs to be a legit Veronica Training course out there.
"Customer service might not always be able to help you, but they can damn sure harm you."
I wish Veronica is my trainer
I need "Veronica training" for my everyday life.
I do NOT miss working in a call center with back to back calls for 8 hours straight. You could always tell when you got somebody like this immediately
