I worked 7 years at a call center and at first I really enjoyed it. I got good at my job and ended up the technical advisor thinking I would be treated nicer but that did not happen. They went through 6 managers for the call center, the day I was hired they walked one out without warning her. I knew this place wasn't the best but I thoroughly enjoyed my actual job position helping people with patterns, finding errors and solutions, playing with yarn, then I was forced to take customer service then orders as well (the manager at the time was horrible and the supervisor seriously had it out for me.) After years of being told I would get my time back to work with patterns, they finally told me I would never get my time back but was still expected to do that and everything else. I also have kids and did everything I could to be there everyday but god forbid the kids or I got sick or we had a horrible storm so school closed. I could not work from home even though my job is extremely easy to do from home (they let 4 others work from home, one had kids as well) when the pandemic started. I was so happy to leave, when I gave my notice my boss could tell something was up because of how damn happy I was compared to since he has been there. I am mad they didn't want me to show anyone what I did, I feel bad for my co workers. I am grateful for everything I have learned and the jokes we shared, I am nervous but my new job will be a caregiver without any supervisors for almost $9 more and I will be doing something meaningful. I'm free from the ugly, racist, horrible world of customer service!!!
