ALORICA (our “new” call center”?)

6/10/2008 5:50:56 AM

Those who know me know that I’ve been working at the call center here in Topeka since Aug 2007. I’ve haven’t seen any postings about my thoughts about working there.

Basically, working at the call center SUCKS. I say that in good humor as Sally & I are trying to get out of debt and this is just one way to achieve our goal. This job (just over broke) is what it is. I think I’ll give my top ten reasons why I’m still working there. Well, let me change that to ONE.

GET OUT OF DEBT.

Here are the top ten reasons why one should NOT be working at the call center:

10) feel guilty about having to go to the bathroom.
09) listen to “customers” complain about their bill.
08) stress from supervisors from being in the wrong aux code.
07) wondering if you pass gas if your next cube neighbor will smell it.
06) scripting on the phone
05) getting fired for arguing with the custmer.
04) having to be nice even if you don’t feel like being nice.
03) eye strain from small fonts.
02) daily headaches

AND THE #1 REASON:

LACK OF FREEDOM

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona

Subject: SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! To: Others should take heed of the effectiveness of Sheriff Joe. If this type response to crime were adopted, believe the crime rate would drop like a rock; our taxes would be much lower; the Fed budget could probably be balanced in no time flat! Subject: SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb. Well.......... SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN! Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe! Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay. The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyo

FIRED!

7/30/2008 7:53:33 AM FIRED! Yes Indeed, I got Fired! Let me explain. From my writings above, Sally & I attended an all high school reunion in Bruce SD. So I filled out a leave slip (TWICE) to leave July 21-25, 2008. I turned my request for leave in much earlier and trusted that my team manager, Paul Miller, would sign the form and approve this request. I even remember visiting with the three of us when I was “counseled” once for not telling a customer the right info. I explained to them that we were planning to leave this last week and I would be willing to work with Alorica on Saturdays to make up the difference. The chief operating manager told me verbally he would happy to approve any leave and if I wanted to make up the hours I could do so. So I take Alorica’s word for what they tell me. I do NOT even think about getting any written agreements. What ever happened to trust? Forget it! So I proceed to make up the hours I’d be missing and arrive outside my scheduled hour
