   New Job!
  Hey guys I just got hired for a call center position that I have really been hoping for and I start at the beginning of the year it has insurance and 401k and all $8.50h after training (Pretty good for around here since they are going to work with my college schedule) and $7.50h during the 4 weeks of training. It’s perfect and I am so glad I will finally get out of grocery work and into something at least somewhat technology related.   
  wahoo? ;-)   ;  you will regret this job for the rest of your life. just remember, tell someone if you start to consider suicide.   ;Quote:Original post by capn_midnightyou will regret this job for the rest of your life. just remember, tell someone if you start to consider suicide.why would he regret it?   ;Quote:Original post by OpenGL_GuruQuote:Original post by capn_midnightyou will regret this job for the rest of your life. just remember, tell someone if you start to consider suicide.why would he regret it?it's a call center job, the single most depressing job in the world, even more depressing than putting down puppies and kittens at the pound.   ;Quote:Original post by OpenGL_GuruQuote:Original post by capn_midnightyou will regret this job for the rest of your life. just remember, tell someone if you start to consider suicide.why would he regret it?His job is to call people that don't want to be called, and the rules of employment likely prevent him from hanging up so he'll have to take whatever abuse people feel like giving him.   ;  Congrats!...not the most rewarding job but good luck with it :)   ;Quote:Original post by capn_midnightQuote:Original post by OpenGL_GuruQuote:Original post by capn_midnightyou will regret this job for the rest of your life. just remember, tell someone if you start to consider suicide.why would he regret it?it's a call center job, the single most depressing job in the world, even more depressing than putting down puppies and kittens at the pound.Was gonna tell him that, and suggest to stick with grocery, but I didn't want to kill his spirit.;  Not all call centers are outbound calls. I took TNT level 2 calls for MCI at one point and it was strictly inbound customer service. Second level was great because MOST of the bad calls were filtered out by the first level in the Phillipines.   ;  Just so you guys know it's strictly inbound calls. Also I have a family to support and the call center is much better pay. Plus I get to use a computer at work all day so when I try to get a computer related job they wont look at me and say that I need more computer experience because using one at home and college doesn't count even though I am a computer science major.Edit: Yes capn putting down puppies and kittens is very depressing I used to volunteer at an animal shelter.
