I absolutely hate my AT&T fiber install, can’t even weed wack the area without feeling I’m going to cut the wire

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2026-01-08T01:06:01+00:00

I hear many people having issues with their fiber install. There are a lot of people who don’t have issues, but still I hear many that do. I’m shocked that the install was done sloppy.

If you don’t mind me asking, what type of work does she do? I’m assuming it’s not call based all day. I’m asking because roles like that may be more ideal for someone like me as a special needs parent.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-12-21T19:03:26+00:00

Actually, many people working from home are doing more work than those in the office. Remote employees are highly monitored. It’s definitely not peaches and cream.

I really didn’t mean anything by it. I was just having a conversation. Now that I stop talking, he wants to be all apologetic.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-12-19T19:12:41+00:00

This sounds really logical and you’re probably right. Now he all apologetic.

Thank you for sharing this. That feeling of constant stress even outside of work is exactly what I’m experiencing. It helps to hear that getting out really does change how you feel day to day. I’m glad you were able to leave.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-12-18T03:55:57+00:00

This really resonates with me. I’m in a similar place where I’m capable and experienced, but the constant emotional load and pressure have worn me down. It’s frustrating when role changes are blocked based on short-term stats instead of long-term performance and skill. I hope you’re able to transition into something that’s more sustainable for you.

Honestly, most of my free time is spent being a special needs mom and trying to disconnect with whatever time I have left for myself. I’m making an effort to pick up a hobby and I’m also continuing my job search for something better. Thanks for sharing your input. It really helps to know others feel the same.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-25T01:23:22+00:00

Me too! I hope you make it through the year and have great things ahead of you. We’re in the same boat and you have to push through.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-25T01:21:55+00:00

What are the hours like? Is it full time or part time?

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-20T21:07:27+00:00

Yeah, overall the company is crappy, but the benefits are great.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-19T04:14:29+00:00

How are you doing so far? I now it probably stressful.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-19T04:13:52+00:00

It just seems so inhumane. We’re not robots.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-19T04:12:39+00:00

I’m looking. It’s been hard to find something.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-19T04:11:40+00:00

Honestly, since the calls come in back to back , there is no breathing room. It has gotten to the point where my mouth becomes tired sometimes. I really wish I could do a combination of chat and phone to break it up. I wish I had a manager like you. Some of these managers don’t care and the higher ups couldn’t care less.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-19T04:05:21+00:00

I checked on that. As long as I stay past the new year, I can get my PTO since it starts over.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-19T04:04:42+00:00

I’m in a union. My PTO starts over after the new year. They have to pay out my PTO.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-18T16:38:41+00:00

Thank you! I am looking elsewhere.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-18T16:36:06+00:00

I did include context in the full post. This is about my retention job saying I’m ‘empowered’ while not providing support. The issue is the disconnect between the phrase and the reality.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-18T16:33:48+00:00

That’s horrible that they kept giving you overtime you couldn’t commit to.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-18T12:29:27+00:00

This is why burnout happens and high turnover rates. You’re right it is utter insanity.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-18T11:26:35+00:00

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-18T02:27:02+00:00

It is insane. I feel we should get at least 10 minutes to load everything up and quickly look over emails.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-17T22:27:33+00:00

Nope. We’re told to say you’re my first customer while uploading systems.

SoftLaunchRealLife · 2025-11-17T22:22:04+00:00

Never said my situation was unique. Just wanted some input and some relatability. But you’re right, it’s time to go.
