so another announcement of sorts i guess...........
im VERY excited to announce that i quit my job!!!!!! woohoo!!!!
its a pretty boring and ridiculous story, but i just got fed up yesterday, i went to work and all i had was shitty call after shitty call.....so i went to our HR department to see what i could do about maybe taking some time off to maybe get my head in the right place and just relax. the first girl i talked to referred me to my ops manager, and she wasnt in that day, so i went back to HR because in between talking to them again i called my doctor to see about getting a medical leave of absence for stress leave and he's not in till wednesday so that doesnt help me any. so when i went back to HR i talked to the HR manager, who i must say is so fake it made me wanna throw up. she was trying to act like she knew what its like to be on the phone, when she really doesnt. i dont think that woman has EVER been on the phones, if she has it was for like 1 day thats it. so she was telling me about how i have to fill out some kind of form and get my doctor to fill part of it out too, just so i can do this, and the way she described the form sounds like its a waiver form, so that she can ask my doc whatever the fuck she wants, which is a big no no, labor laws basically say that if i bring in a doctor's note saying that i need time off then they have to give it to me, no questions asked. and this whole thing didnt surprise me, that whole company is bad for breaking alot of labor laws, they have been doing it from the start anyways so why would they change now. and i dont want her knowing my personal business like that, thats bullshit. so i just walked out, went and took a few more calls, they were all shitty as per usual. i almost told a woman off. so i just thought why am i here? i have enough money that i could last quite a while, and this is stressing me out more then being unemployed ever did. so i went on my lunch break, went home, got a backpack, and went back to work and packed up all my shit, the funniest thing is that i ended up staying there for a bit to chat with people and say goodbye, and NO ONE came up to me and said anything about not being on the phones or anything. thats how sad and ridiculous that place is and how poorly run they are. so i called in this morning and told someone that i had quit. he was really nice about it, he even said sorry and everything, and he seemed quite genuine about the whole thing. and i applied at staples call centre already, im just waiting for them to call me back.
so wish me luck.....im sure i'll be fine from now on, anything is better then working where i was working.

rpg:
IMHO, most call centre jobs suck, unless they're incoming information or order taking type jobs. I think it was good that you quit. You'll find something better and you'll be happier!
