Hey, long time lurker here. I'm not asking for sympathy, I just feel like venting. I'm young and I just started my first job at a call center. They paid minimum wage for the small town I live in ($10 per hour).

Anyway, normally I keep my cool and am very patient with customers over the phone but today a male Karen kept screaming me, demanding to talk to a supervisor. I was annoyed because it was last call of the day; was 1 minute away from the end of my shift and the guy was screaming my ear off to get the supervisor right now.

I'm sure I'm going to get fired for it because I have the feeling he called back after I hung up but in the moment I really didn't care when I know most call centers offered 18-20 on average. I just got this job because it was the only one that accepted people with no work experience but I am worried how this will look for my future job prospects.
