So I’ll try to keep this short (no guarantee). I started a call center job almost 7 months ago. This is the second call center, I’ve worked in. It pays $20/hr, the insurance benefits are good, and I work from home. My shift is 8 AM-5 PM PST and they require a mandatory 5 hours of OT every week, on top of one Saturday shift per month (and this is only for my department). I take anywhere from 80-100+ calls on a daily basis. I’ve had numerous coworkers quit over the past few months, out of nowhere. My stress and anxiety has never been this high, until I started this job. I have headaches on a daily basis, I can’t go to bed at a normal time anymore, I barely enjoy my weekends, because I am so anxious about going into work on Monday. I have rent and other bills, which put me in a place where I can’t afford to quit. I’m planning on moving out of state in a few months, and I was planning on transferring with the job, but I can’t see myself lasting a few more months with this company. My job has a chat department, and my manager knows I’m interested, but I keep getting the run around, and they want 90% adherence every month, which isn’t retainable; and they still make people from that department hop on the phones every now and then. I’ve applied for several email/chat positions over the past few days; and I’ve gotten a few rejection letters, but other than that I haven’t heard anything back. I do go to therapy, but it doesn’t do a lot lately, because I know what my main cause of stress is. After I leave this job, I don’t ever plan on working in another call center again. I deal with social anxiety and although its gotten better, I’m not ready to go back to a face to face customer position (I also don’t have a car anymore). I deal with a visual-spatial learning disability, so it makes the kinds of jobs I can do very limited. I really could use some advice on what my next steps should be, because I really see myself quitting during one of my shifts, and running the risk of being evicted out of my apartment, since I don’t have another job lined up.
