Call centers

[J Galt]

Which is the worst form of hell? Working in a call center, or having to call into a call center?

Cannot vote. No bacon.

My vote goes for having to call a call center and having to deal with some one that could care less on the other end.

Been there, done that.

Don’t care.
I’m a “just say no” kinda guy either way. I do human to human phone calls only.

As far as I know, a call center only has humans in it. Is there another kind?


Maybe one staffed by intelligent otters?

Please let this be a thing.

Guess I could have phrased it better, but I didn’t. Let me try this.

I do my best not to talk to call centers. I never knowingly call one.

There are no intelligent otters. There are intelligent beavers.

Call Centers... best work I ever did as an Analyst was the manning for a regional call center. Average speed to answer less than 30 seconds, I'm the guy who identified economy of scale limitations in a call center environment.

In 2017 my boss and I were written out of the script. An empire builder with **** for brains got brought in to build an empire. It's been ****ed up ever since. They wanted to go 24/7 operations: I told them they weren't manned for it and it was a a waste of resources. I was right, but that didn't matter. I'm the only one who didn't **** it up and I'm the only one who didn't get promoted out of the deal.

No wonder they wrote us out of the script: we kept telling them what they didn't want to hear. Didn't matter that it was the truth.

Wow, there's still some anger there after 6 years. I am descended from a family out of Eastern Kentucky named McCoy. We do tend to hold a grudge

You're otter-phobic!

 

[EPeter213]

L’otters are not afraid!!

Support full otter employment.

Never worked in one so had to go with customer viewpoint. The last call center I had to deal with for a family I was advocating for was left with my plan to eat a nice steak that evening and my sincere hope that said hunk of beef wasn't part of one of their relatives.

Hey, so I called earlier and you reset my log on, and well I forgot it, so I tried my old password and I am locked out again.

Every monday we had 3 or 4 people do this.

Crazy, I recently discovered there's a fb page devoted to your family. Patriarch went by "Devil". That's some good fam drama, right there.
