I work in an 11-12 hour shift for 4 weekdays (& I spend most of the time I'm not on the road or strapped to my desk just sleeping the rest of my life away) & if only I don't spend 10 minutes or so on a few calls I'd get as much as 200 calls (but those would include transfers, I suppose) per shift. Holy crap. So it's 10 times more sickening to put up with idiots who can't seem to understand the meaning of the phrase "please wait after 7-10 working days" dammit.[/quote] So what're you saying? Your miseries are better than mine? Honestly, if you spend as much as <i>two hours on one call</i> wondering why the fuck their wireless is not working, you'd totally understand why I get to have only 40 calls a day.

I've been involved in a groundbreaking project and for that, I owe them my service for the next couple of years and I'm willing to give it to them. I agree that call centers are slowly burning out a lot of people but it also puts them in a vicious cycle because even if they leave one call center, they end up in another one most of the time. Higher position, higher salary, same stress...most of the time. Good to know that you managed to jump out of the whirlwind, Ade. <em>Mark's last blog post..<a href="http://winterheim.wordpress.com/2008/02/22/from-uneditedmara-scamming-the-scammers/" rel="nofollow">From Uneditedmara: Scamming the Scammers</a></em> Well, I've been with a BPO since 2005 and will be hitting three years by end of this May and probably the main reason I've stayed in this job for the past couple of years is because I didn't take calls, I had a normal desk job and my bosses are good to me (client side).

I never really wanted to go in the Call Center industry, it's just that I needed the cash back then.
