Things I hate about this job:
- Having to constantly BS to angry customers so they'll stop yelling at me even though I totally agree with them.
- The colour of the carpet. Greyish-purple with grey design.
- Lack of flexibility in scheduling. Even if I pretend to be a religious zealot.
- People who don't know what a mother's maiden name is.
- People who don't listen to me.
- Having to say "I recommend" even though there's no way I would put that on my credit card.
- Wearing a headset without foamies so the plastic digs into my ears.
- Wearing a headset with foamies so my ears get hot and I can't hear anything.
- People who don't speak english but pretend they understand me by saying "Ok" over and over.
- People who thank me for "speaking english"
- People who don't give their last name when I ask them for their name.
- The stuffy air.
- The way all the windows are shaded to prevent anything but florescent light from reaching me.
- The way nobody notices if I do my job well.
- The way nobody notices if I do my job terribly. Even if I leave to pee and am gone 15 minutes.
- People who call from their car.
- Having to listen to the echo of my own voice.
- The emphasis on sell, sell, sell.
- How they keep taking down my drawings
- Whenever I have less than a minute's break between calls.
- The "smart" dialing system
I'm sure there's more but I really should be getting back now. The "smart" dialing system will bombard me with calls since I'm gone so long.

-spellers (who spell out every piece of info they give you)
-old people
-managers getting changed to keep everything nice and impersonal
-managers who won't tell you when your break is, then jump on you when you take it at the wrong time.
I can't believe this. I also forgot the phrase "Do what now?"
The colour of the carpet. Greyish-purple with grey design.
I believe that all commercial or industrial carpet is an abomination. Whoever designs this stuff should be shot. That's a very funny post.
I assume the colour makes it easier to clean. Or, in SITEL's case, allows them to get away with never cleaning it at all.
