Call Centre workers of the world , unite and take over
I've got a fuckwit Mr robertson (fake name) on the phone the other day.
Basically he wants to give me his wife's details and his new address.
I asked: ''What's your wife's full name?''
He spelt out two Chinese words.
I asked: ''Which one is the surname?''
He is like… WHAT DO YOU MEAN???? OF COURSE IT IS ROBERTSON! (fake name)
I really want to say to him, Mister 1950s cuntface, some people keep their surnames now!
And when he gave me the address, I asked him how does he spell the name of the street.
He YELLED: ''Kookaburra?????? It is a BLOODY AUSTRALIAN NAME!!!!'' (now, chats, educate me, is it really wrong not knowing how to spell kookaburra? )
I checked out his details, he is 20 years older than his Asian better half. Fucking typical old man get a young Asian woman as last resort. (I can be a reverse racist sometimes) The family recently moved from QLD to VIC and his kids are called ''Forest'' and ''Sunlight''. WTF?
anyone know of any call centers needing people in melbs at the moment? Desperate times!
jokes on you mate, that old bloke may be a jerk, but you work in a call centre
POTD.
yeah that and learn how to spell
It is just a job. Now go fuck yourself.
?
For fucks sake. It's dinner time!
TUGBOAT WINS!
Hahahaha. At least I'm not a sales man.
Not Interested!
i just applied for a one week job at a call centre, one week! sweet! its all i can stand.
I've done my time in those hell holes. Never doing it again.
You don't want to work in a call centre, comrade.
Think of something else you would do.
Am still looking for the exit.
amen. fucken destroyed me.
cunts, think of the people answering the phone. stop applying for these pointless fucking jobs.
call centres = cunt centres
Yeah, there are lots of cunces at call centres because I guess anyone could get a job at the call centres, even if they are not toilet trained, eat other people's lunch box, make a mess in the kitchen and have no social skillz at all.
There are some cool people though.
i'm sure there are, but working in a call centre automatically makes you a cunt.
i'm sure there were some pretty cool young german dudes around in the '40's, but when they worked for the Nazi's (may have been the only jobs going at the time) they automatically became cunts.
Well. Nobody wants to work in a call centre. Everything is expensive now which means it's impossible to be on the dole. I'd much prefer to be on the dole.
Sadly, we're all consumers, and someone's gotta feel the brute force of our fury when we get incorrectly billed by Telstra or whoever.
Jacky, a friend of mine who is on the dole (and I'll stipulate, not by choice) has a disposable income of 20 dollars per fortnight after paying rent and bills. It's fucking criminal.
The call centre downstairs from my work has no kitchen, or lunch room. Cunce sit in the lobby eating Maccas and playing with their iPhones.

Got a snail mail by a customer today, typed (with a typewriter) by a 87 years old lady from the country.
Can you think of any workplace worse than call centre?
It is full of people with zero social skills, sleazeballs, sexists, racists, people eating with their mouths open, loud talkers, people who have very bad B.O., people who make the kitchen/microwave/toilet very very very dirty, people who steal other people's food from the fridge, people who listen to reallly bad music...etc
Tugboat, what you just said sounds exactly like the Specsavers lab.
I'm so glad I no longer work in a call centre.
Plenty.
Sounds like a lot of workplaces to me...''really bad music...hehe. you ARE a hipster aren't you?
I am not a hipster, although I have a road bike, like good coffee and I'm AZN.
on the phone to helpdesk this morning for 30mins getting passwords reset ..aahhh
Sometimes I think the Lvl 1 Helpdesk people know less about computer than me.
Finally I am seeing the light of the exit as I am back to uni next year.
I guess I can get another non-call centre crappy job.
80% of Call Centre Workers are gross.
Apart from all the silly musos, artists and uni students.
Just got an email from my work's HR:
I won't be able to do that, but I guess it is a really cool for other staff members. Self funded travel though.
My job is killing me.
Like a mixture of Kindergarten and political prisoner camp.
A struggling actor tried to sell his crappy bill paying Call Centre job to me as an opportunity to have conversations with people while being in character. It is what you make of it at the end of the day, but I hope he gets his big break soon.
If it's just part time while you study, then who cares. It's easy money.
9 more shifts before I go to my two weeks holiday. And not long after that I will go back to full time study and might work part-time here.
Apart from work, I really hate all the loud meaningless conversation I overheard every fucken day. Lots of people here are like Milton from Office Space.
Some people has been working in the same role for 10, 15 years... people who give themselves up, people who are out of touch with the real world, loud talkers, sexists, racists, sleazeballs, slacker...etc.
Some ladies at my work just stood near me and have a long conversation here. I felt like I was forced to be the live audience of The Circle (is that the name of the show?)or something.
After today, I will be on holiday for about two weeks.
There will be 3 more shifts when I'm back, before going to Uni full time.
Worst case scenerio? Working in this shit hole, back on the phone, on saturdays only.
If I'm have any luck, I will get my part-time dream job and say bye bye to this hell.
I pity you poor bastards.
Tuggy, if you're going to do a shitty office job for cash get into the Data Entry world. Listening to music all day and not dealing with people outside of the employees.
It's still shit, but it's better than being on a fucking phone with phone cunts dribbling there fucking phone cunt slag down the tube to get some bullshit that isn't that important sorted out for them.
Have a nice trip.
Thanks, Hobbnob.
Yeah, I will be back on the phone if I only do Sats.
I'm waiting for someone to call me back re: my part-time dream job.
Fingercross for me.
