After being on suspension for about 6 weeks, they fired me yesterday. I’m no longer bound by their contract so I’ll say what I damn well please now. They said I was rude to a customer and it was gross misconduct. I wasn’t rude at any point of the call. I didn’t swear and IContinue reading “I’ve Been Fired!”

Enjoying The Sun
I’ve been off work for the last two weeks and have enjoyed the sunshine. Looks like summer has finally arrived in the UK. About time too. We’ve had some lovely weather during the last couple of weeks. I’ve sat in the garden working on the laptop and getting a tan. My daughter, who works fromContinue reading “Enjoying The Sun”
Long Term Service
Is it worth staying at a company for more than 5 years? My simple answer is no. Not unless you want to progress into management and climb the ladder of hierarchy. I’ve been at the same company for 12 years. I was asked, in the past, if I wanted to train as a team managerContinue reading “Long Term Service”
It’s Over!
Ok it’s over. We can all get our breath back again. Just another 12 months to wait for it to start up once more. Not long to go. I had a lovely Christmas spent with family. Playing games and eating a really nice dinner. Lots of chocolates going round. And bloody awful TV! Apart fromContinue reading “It’s Over!”
The Right People To Work Here
The higher ranks of the company have mentioned recently that they want the right kind of people for the job. Mentioned several times actually. They have also said that anyone who does not have the right attitude should go elsewhere. During a meeting last week where we were discussing what would make the company an evenContinue reading “The Right People To Work Here”
Internet At Work
We’ve at long last been given some access to the internet at work. It’s been a long time getting and it’s very limited. However we are able to do a bit of Christmas shopping while doing our work, on Amazon and Ebay. Trouble is we can’t be in when it’s delivered as we’re at work!Continue reading “Internet At Work”
Why Work In A Call Centre?
I began to write a blog about the day to day experience of my working life. I’ve been working at the call centre for over 11 years now and this seemed like a good way of getting rid of stress and of laughing at some of the stupid things that can happen at work. IContinue reading “Why Work In A Call Centre?”
Job Hunting
Well I’ve managed to load Ebay with a few things. Not enough to make me rich but at least it will get rid of a few items that I had packed away. Still got a few other bits and bobs to put on there as well. Also looking at the jobs out there. I thinkContinue reading “Job Hunting”
Harassment At Work
There’s been a lot of publicity about harassment at various work places. A lot of court cases with a great deal of money being paid out by companies who could have prevented it. It seems with some companies that complaints are of no consequence, and even when a number of people bring the subject upContinue reading “Harassment At Work”
Thinking Positively
It’s often very hard to think positive when you’re at work, something that people in a variety of jobs would probably agree with. I have been trying very hard to be positive these last few months. I’ve found it very easy when I’m at home! Work has been extremely busy of late, and very exhausting.Continue reading “Thinking Positively”
