Funny Thing on a Call Center

May 27, 2008 · Posted in Ramblings 

Hah, have you worked on a call center or are you a call center agent? Well I’m not a call center agent, but I do work in a call center as a transcriptionist. Life on a call center is very tiring, some might have big starting pays but some doesn’t too.

I don’t hate my job, I just hate the time. In fact, I love my job! Hehe. Funny thing about working in a call center is, MOST of the people are Social climbers. Well, that’s what I noticed. No offense but, it is true. and 70%of the men is GAY. I’m glad that most of my co-workers are straight, the transcripstionists I mean. But when you say inbound/outbound call center agents, most of them are gay, loud gays.

And one funny thing too, on our room, where we transcribe, we’re not the only ones are using the room, other schedules are call center agents. I just laugh when I see my MONITOR shining like they have glitters on the screen, do you picture it? Hehehe, yeah. Salivas all over the screen! What do you expect, they talk IN FRONT of the screen WHILE spitting on it. Hehehe. Just kidding, but true. I just ignore it when I work, just let me work but don’t ask me to clean my monitor. :P The person using it should notice his/her work but rather not clean it. Eww right? Heh.

Anyway, I love my work, I really do. I just don’t like the time schedule. :) Have you worked on a call center before? What’s your funny experience there?

It's really nice having a coffee while reading, I'll appreciate it if you treat me one.

    hahah. I love the bit about social climbers. I just hate it when call center agents just talk with their “hilaw” na american accent in the bus, in the MRT or anywhere else. :p oh well… at least you love your job. that’s the most important thing.

    I agree.. i went to the Philippines for my homecoming,after gone for 6 years- it is really so odd to see fellow filipinos in on some branches of coffeshops, they get to ammused on DISPLAYING too much of themselves with a hard trying english somewhat with poor accents… Awesome creepy pretenders wanted to be an americans!

    There are different approaches while providing thesecall center services. Have friendly approach, keep clear head and respond to clients in time. It will give more satisfaction to customer. Customer satisfaction improves customer retention and profits too.

    Call center life in Asian subcontinents can be more monotonous. Playing pranks or silly discussions in break hours can neutralize the monotonous feel. It is better to create a lively atmosphere inside the Call Centre room. Now if you are making the subject interesting, for sure you will tend towards gossips on sexual matters also. I don’t think Gay culture is so prevalent in call centre companies.
