I was so close to telling him to fuck off and walk out. If I wasn't the only source of income for my family I absolutely would have. As it was I essentially got in his face and called him a corporate shill. We'll see if I get fired.

Oh, this was also after him getting on me for not fully lying to customers on calls. This is a call center and if a customer calls you out on it being remote you're supposed to look up a part of their city and say you live there.
