This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

All I heard about call centers is: If you need longer than 30 seconds to close a call you really need a good reason. And it will be marked negatively in your report.
You should be able to handle thousands of calls as fast as possible, so they can only pay a few people in order to handle people calling.
This. I worked in a call centre for a while. Service was not the priority, speed was. I got in trouble for staying on the line to actually resolve a customer's issue because it took a long time (basically ended up having to do a conference call with the third party who had fucked up). I left that job ASAP because fuck that.
Best call center job I've had was tech support for Garmin. No handle time it's stay on the phone until customer is helped. I spent hours on the phone plotting good vacation routes for people loved it.
