I know this sounds entitled and I should be grateful for any work (and trust me, I am) but I’ve worked in call centres for 7 years and been utterly miserable in them. I finally spotted this amazing job which was purely data entry working from home and it has been the BEST job I’ve ever had.
I’ve been able to listen to music, have Netflix playing, have my family over, cook food, take a shower etc whenever I liked as long as I met their minimum hourly targets which I always have.
Yesterday they sent me a training link on Teams for calls and are expecting me to start taking them as the queues are insanely high. I’ve tried my best to ignore them and make up excuses but they’re not having it.
They’ve been harassing me with messages asking if I’m logged in and if I’ve taken calls, sending me tons of documents with scripts and FAQ’s and logins for all the other systems I need to use.
Looks like I’m now back to the call centre life.
