Basically, I took a call center job because it offers remote position and it fits my life at the moment. I have to train on base for the first four weeks then after that I am completely remote.
Needless to say. I have started training for the role at the main center.
I have been passively yet aggressively been bullied by my peers in the work environment. There are small things that they are doing, that I notice and I feel like it’s not okay. But also not a big deal.
For example. The company had a luncheon yesterday and I already knew that there was food in the break room for employees, but I didn’t wanna assume that it was available for ALL.
One of the leads finally told me after an hour of the food arriving that I could go get food if I wanted. Keep in mind everyone else had a plate already in the department except me (again its okay, it’s the principle) when I got to the break room all the food was scoured through,
The food was cold and very hard, obviously not fresh. I made myself a plate anyway and I thanked the lead for letting me know regardless.
Also there are individuals that walk in and purposely avoid eye contact when alone but will stare when in groups. (Again this could be my assumption but I feel the energy that is transferred)
Another small thing that happened,
I was emailed by somebody who hadn’t talked to me at all, yet was watching my every move, and emailed me that I couldn’t wear headphones. Even though everyone else has headphones in, and I have to wear them for training videos and such.
Humbly, I know that I am severely over qualified for the position with my background and credentials. I don’t act better than. I used to run 5 dealerships and held a successful team.
Again, I only chose this job again because it fits my needs and I feel like that’s okay.
Point is, it’s just sad how people treat others based on how “new” they are. Not knowing someone’s intellect or background. I swear people get off on being rude to others.
Entitlement at its finest. I’m choosing to deal with it for the time being. Maybe I am overthinking it too much; I just wanted to vent. That’s all.
