Job Stress..I need a change!
Apr 24th, 2008 by Michelle
I am beginning to think that call center work is not for me. There are so many rude people that call for help. I am yelled at every day at my job. I am so over being yelled at and I am a supervisor that will do anything in my powers to help. I never yell on the phone, even when I am being yelled at. I sit quietly and I listen and let them vent.
This is the first time in over 15 years that I have taken a JOB. Why did I want to work for someone? I plead insanity as an answer to that. I first did it for the benefits and now the benefits suck and there is no way to cancel them until a year has passed. My benefits literally cover nothing although I was told by human resources that I was in the wrong plan and that this new plan is supposed to cover me unlimited, so we will see.
It is a real struggle to get through today. Depression has seemed to kick in. If I had a panic attack I have meds for that but I have to say that depression is worst than the worst panic attack you can have.
I feel really overwhelmed at the moment. I sat and thought about my life. I am the only one who can help me literally. If I need anything it does not matter what it is, I have to get it myself. I have absolutely no one I can turn to for help. That is very scary. I was thinking if I quit my job or lose it, you never know these days with the economy, then I would join a moms club or something or get more involved at church so I can get involved and meet new people.
Anyways, I am going to make some double strength tea now in hopes it will lift my spirits more.
