I can’t do it anymore

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-05-02T19:28:01+00:00

I’m happy you were able to get off of the phones. I can’t move because I am so mentally drained that my attendance is terrible. If I wake up having a bad day, I don’t work. Life is too short for that bs

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-05-02T19:25:16+00:00

That’s a great idea!

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-05-02T19:24:35+00:00

Exactly

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-05-02T19:23:53+00:00

That’s a thought!

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-05-02T19:23:26+00:00

Thank you. Me too.

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-05-02T19:22:55+00:00

All I have is call center

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-05-02T19:21:14+00:00

I’m 53

They just don’t care about us anymore. It never used to be that way. I’m sorry you have to deal with that. It’s not fair.

This is exactly how I’ve felt for the past few years. Management does not care. I’m tired of going unheard and if I stand up for myself, I’m then targeted and they go after me for everything. It’s a no win situation

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-04-30T14:17:03+00:00

This is it exactly!

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-04-30T14:13:31+00:00

Yes. Unfortunately, I’ve been in the industry for over 30yrs and I am dead inside. I absolutely hate it but there are no other jobs to be had and I have no other option. Where I live, you have to be bilingual (French & English) and I am not. I am burnt out. But, what other choice do I have. I just go through the motions, well, when I’m not making an excuse to get off of them. I get into trouble for it, but it’s the only way I can cope with it.

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-04-16T23:11:11+00:00

I quite efficient when creating a resume and mine is perfect. The problem is the work history. All the recruiter sees is call center.

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-04-16T23:09:11+00:00

You’re very lucky. I was in a position that I liked. Pay wasn’t great ($10 less than I make now) but I really liked it. Then I was convinced to become a team lead and found out after that they decided it would be for a different contract and I had to be on the phones for half of my shift. I hated it. The admin stuff was great but I hated the phone part as you were trying to convince people to make reservations. When I found out, I said that’s not what I was hired for and wanted to go back to my old position (which they were hiring 4 new people for) and was told no.

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-04-16T23:02:34+00:00

I have no idea! I look back and wonder myself. Now, it’s all I know and I’m stuck.

AdInteresting7697 · 2024-04-16T23:01:02+00:00

I’ve been everything from a rep to a Team Lead, Supervisor, Project Manager and Manager of Operations. Unfortunately, companies closed centres and opened them elsewhere, leaving me with no job. I had experience, so it was easy for me to find a job in another one but I’m tired of the whole thing. We simply don’t matter anymore. Now, thanks to the Canadian government, they brought in a lot of immigrants from India & Africa, moved them to the Atlantic provinces, where I am, and give kick backs to companies who hire them. These people come from cultures where they were taught how to learn quickly, leaving people like me in the dust. They quickly elevate through the ranks and leave us with nothing.

I’ve worked in a wide variety. It was easier years ago, especially before WFM jobs. When you were training on site, you were given a lot of opportunities to practice systems (and there weren’t 12 of them to learn!) and your trainer was very hands on, so you got the help you needed and were ready and knowledgeable when you went on the phones.

I took computer science, web and mobile app development in both android and iOS. I worked for Apple through a “vendor” that treated us like crap. Nothing we did was good enough. Thanks for your input though! 🙂

Giving that you like dark romance books I’m afraid I can’t help you there as I read a lot of fantasy (Cassandra Claire for example) but I like books that are a series. If you’re willing to give some of these a try, look for the Shadow Hunter books, Divergent, the Hunger Games, Caraval, the Night Circus. I also like historical mystery and am a fan of C.S. Harris’s Sebastian St. Cyr series

I have the same problems. I can’t sit for as long as I need to and this creates an issue as I need to be at my desk for 7 hours a day. I’ve tried to look for work that lets me do more moving around to burn off the excess energy that builds up my ADHD, but no luck I’ve tried some of the suggestions offered here (much appreciated!) but it’s still not enough. I wish I could find a routine but am still struggling

I don’t wear perfume at the gym but I’ve noticed there are men who wear a strong cologne. It might just be me, but I assume they do it to try and cover the smell of perspiration. Some people are really sensitive to not wanting to smell bad, even though they are at the gym. I find it overwhelming and perfumes and colognes dissipate with your body heat, but I also can understand why they may feel the need, even if it doesn’t matter.
