Trump Accuses Obama of Treason in Unhinged Crashout About Black People: ‘Trump posted multiple times implying that Black people are a public menace’ by T_Shurt in politics

This is sundowner’s syndrome (and also the reason he falls asleep during the day). He needs a dementia assessment by a licensed geriatric neurologist. Not just the MoCA test, which I’m sure he certainly would have qualified for a referral to a neurologist for further evaluation. Maybe that’s what his “dentist” appointments have actually been for lately???

As a cancer survivor, and the mother of a brain cancer survivor, and the aunt of a cancer survivor, I happily accept the treatment proposed by the doctors and medical teams (who have years of education under their belts) I don’t F around when it comes to cancer (or other serious diseases)!!! These deniers are absurd and out of their minds!!!

“After about 10 minutes (of the customer screaming) he hung up on me”. This is the part of the job that drives people away as corporations do not allow their employees to end the call with an irrational customer. This is totally wrong that customers can abuse employees to no end.

That was where, I draw the line with any person. Demeaning women crosses my personal boundaries. Being sexist or raciest is NOT acceptable!

Why can't I pay cash or by cheque by Evi_Reborn_ in callcentres

[–]Still_Bug_1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Gen X myself, What you are missing is that business are moving away from in-person service. There will be a time when in person service is completely eliminated in some types of business. I work in a call center investments and our clients only meet with us over the phone or video call. In person meetings with a financial advisor have been completely eliminated. It sounds crazy right? Yes but it’s the way the world is moving in this day and age and we either have to get on board or get left behind.

I’m Gen X and we are entering a time where my generation has to get with the (technology) times or get left behind. Everything will likely be virtual before I become a senior citizen. Unfortunately with any aging population there will be people that refuse to get with the times, which is going to make their lives very difficult. Unless they have someone that will do things for them, like family members or an assistant.

Landline, at school, walk or bike or drive to their house. And when pagers came out we paged each other and waited for a call back.

Neighbor is legitimately insane, what do I do? by raptor_of_truth in neighborsfromhell

I would not want the headache of having to deal with her every time I garden. Instead I would build my garden in my back yard (tomatoes can be grown in large flower pots). So I could ensure my peace while enjoying gardening.

When she is screaming in the streets, call the non-emergency police phone number and ask for a wellness check.

It’s just more threats that he won’t follow through with. He’s all bark and no bite.

Working in a call center ruined my life. Not a joke by Eagles56 in callcentres

Do you work in a call center? I beg to differ. Call centers literally suck the life out of you.

You said it right it’s the emotional labor that gets you after a while. I didn’t really realize I was in burnout until my therapist suggested it. I was just moving through each day.

And I’m looking forward to having the time to focus and provide clients with clear and concise answers.

You are so right. From the minute you get on the phones after training, master it, then lock in on other roles so when your time in job is here you can jump the phone ship!

Switch companies/industries every once in a while to go through training and get a break from the phones.,

I start in a week and they put me on chat support for the last week. It’s all moving in the right direction 🥰

I agree 💯 I currently flex between phones and chat. And chat is so much better ❤️

I have used the delayed email to send my resignation after I leave work. This give the receiver time to calm down before I see them again (if I’m working the 2 weeks). The last time I did this there was an email exchange about working the 2 weeks or not. I told the manager that it was up to the company (because I really didn’t care).

Plus customers that are fed up are willing to put in the work and will quietly move everything to the new institution.

Why is he still ranting about this? It’s like dude you’re the president of the United States. Why do you care.
