I gotta bitch. I have to. I hate my job.
I just finished my Masters in Biology. After I finished, I was lucky enough to work for my supervisor for about half a year. It was great...I got to do science, I had total control over how I spend my time, and I basically made my own hours (and I went everyday despite it being part time because I enjoyed it). Last month, my prof let me know that his dwindling grant money was getting low and that he would have to let me go with the caveat that he might have me back in a couple of months if his funding gets renewed.
Since last year, I've been looking and looking for work, but it has been extremely difficult. So this month I was forced to take a job at a call center. I give props to the people who do the job, and I have met some great people, but the job SUCKS.
Basically I take phone calls from irate Americans from the South Central region. The irate customers are bad enough...mean, ill-tempered, etc. But the corp sucks even more. Sucks big time. For our training, we were inundated with corporate propoganda in addition to learning the skills we need to answer technical and account questions. The corp keeps telling us how much they care about us, and how we are the reps of the company, but they monitor fucking EVERYTHING, pay a shitty wage, and discipline people for being a minute late back from break. The trainers are pretty nice, as are the other employees, but the tension and hatred in the place are palatable. Morale is terrible.
Anyways, I just had to bitch. Right now, I'm hating my life. I'm generally a pretty damn optimistic person, but this work is soul killing. I'm stuck because I can't quit and get behind on my student loan payments. I am in a really shitty mood. I'm just hoping to get an answer from somebody else soon.
So now, I'm gonna shut up and let you bitch about your job. Tell my why your job fucking sucks. Lol..maybe you'll make me feel better about my own.
