To be hired permanently, we have to write notes and work with salesforce, a notoriously slow system that takes minutes to load and find information, so we are expected to say all the right things and make notes about everything at the same time and navigate the bullshit salesforce site to research for solution. Their expectation is that we get 0 minutes to write down notes between the calls and to fix any frozen screen issues or a deranged customer (at least a few times a day) and we have to tick a million disposition boxes correctly with a 10…

my company didn't pay me out the PTO when I left. what do I do!
