what to DO if you're so bored with your call center job

aleczander

please advice me on what to do if you're so unhappy / bored (and you can't take it) with your current call center job. The prob is i cant resign becoz a.) there is a bond b.) hard to get another job c.) ill be a job hopper na (is this bad?)

pero in my situation , being in there is like a living hell


please advice

Thing is, if you're bored or unhappy with your job, you should just quit. But life sucks, since you do have a bond. You could entertain yourself at work then--people at West seems to be an expert at that, hehe! (Just joking--or is that true?)

aleczander

well.............

paging WEST employees.... help me out!!!!!!!!!!!

try looking over the contract again and see if theres a way out. do u have a lawyer frend? he can be very helpful to you right now
and besides, ive never heard of anybody getting sued (sorry i dont know the spelling) because of a bond.... a company will not waste money running after
A csr....<hint, hint> hehe.

mugukiller

jeez man, after all the previous queries about leaving, you're still at it? well, if you haven't got the balls to quit, then just grin and bear it!

One word: RESIGN.

and I did and I set myself free. Happy now with a new job. Non-call center career of course.

that's too bad.
nextime before you sign a contract take a good look at it first.

but i am sure you can find a good work soon.

ah pareho pala tayo ng nararamadaman...gs2 ko na din umalis kse from the first day that i took calls,naramdaman ko na di ito para sakin and yes, it's been a living hell...ang hirap pa ng sked ko,2am pa...napaka abnormal..

ang advice na binibigay ko na lang sakin ay e di i-enjoy ko na lang habang and2 ako,the sweldo ang ibig kong sabihn...

kse from the past few weeks,wala tlaga ko gana pumasok at tignan ang sweldo ko..kaya ginagawa ko na lang e di mag shopping.hehehe... and totoo ngang prang bumibilis ang mga araw..di ko na iniisip ang boredom sa work ko kundi ung susunod na sweldo.

nwei,tinatapos ko na lang ang 4months and i would be moving back to my previous career kahit na mas maliit sweldo..

chances are,mas maganda ang asenso mo pag gusto mo ginagawa mo..susunod din ang sweldo mo kung masaya ka..

just an advice.....

aleczander RESIGNATION LANG ANG KATAPAT NYAN. Bond?! Screw that *****. Don't come back. Go on AWOL. Tutal naman, walang namang kwenta kung isusulat mo sa resume mo yung so-called "work experience" mo as a call center rep (esp. kung galing ka sa West and unless na lang na you plan to work in other call center ulit). Madami akong kilala na sumibat sa trabahong call center at binalbal ang lintek na bond na yan (teka, sa West ka ba? ala naman bond dun ah...)

Look for a real job... the one that you'll really love. Me? The first time I felt the urge to leave, I did not think twice. Umalis na agad ako. Hindi naging madali ang paghahanap at paglipat, pero it was all worth it. My work now is WAY MUCH HARDER kesa sa trabahong CC but just the mere thought na nagwowork na ako outside the CC industry eh gumagaan na pakiramdam ko. Pramis.

aleczander

guys thanks a lot, i know ang hirap maghanap ng work ngayun and im near broke na pero... reading the thread keeps me inspired... thanks talaga!

aleczander-

i went through the same situation.

As in bago ako matulog, i hear those queues coming, and the customers' voices, shucks! para akong nabubuwang sa bahay. Pag gising ko, un na agad iniisip ko, ayaw kong pumasok.. pero may bond din kasi kami. nag absent nga ko ng 2 days sa office, e hihunting na ko ng TL namin. I just decided to continue and enjoy our sweldo which is okay naman. But the big compensation, sad to say, does not "compensate" to the dread i feel pag pumapasok. parang ayokong mag auto in at mag pretend na lang na naka- acw ako. hehehe... or worse, kunyari nag- hang ung voip ko o may sira ung headset.. hehehe...

pero eto ako, after 8 mos of challenge and stress and experience, i had no regrets, the job you deserve will come along and you'll be happy. You just have to decide and be free!

i salute my former co-csr's and my tl! hats off to the cc agents!! bilib ako sa inyo!!!

RIGOR:
in my case, mixture of customer service and tech support. it's a consumer electronics company, so it covers prod info, troubleshooting, orders, refunds, post sales/presales, may chat email, i was also a part of the status desk, sub group ng escalations team. gumagawa din ako ng EOD for Ops.

RIGOR and ALECZ:
maganda din kasi na you have a motivating support team/management. at remember na at the end of the day,at least you were able to help people. kasi if you develop this attitude sa mga customers na they're bobo or brat, baka isa ka na rin sa mga racist na pinoy. tyaga lang muna, di talaga pang lahat ng tao ang ganitong career. tyga lang muna, AJA!

phoenixforce

^^ uu nmn no.... minsan nga yung opening spiel mo if your tech support na iaaply mo s pagsagot ng phone s bhay eh.... ako nmn when i was doing technical support eh napanaginipan kong nagtratrabaho p rin ako... as in, pati sa pagtulog eh nagtrotroubleshoot ako... and then i called it quits as soon as i found an opening for lesser income but personally fullfilling.... Hindi tlaga s lahat ang call center vocation... kailangan ng patience, creativity, openess at madaming kape.... hi to all cc peeps.....

i miss taking calls.... echos....*peace*
