Working in a call center makes me want to kill myself even more

[huntrix#1fan]

I work everyday from 10am to 7pm, with a one hour break. For eight hours I sit in a chair and get berated by angry people. I get yelled at, cursed at, insulted, etc. My bosses are not much better. They micromanage everything and make me stressed at all times. I can't do this anymore. This can not be my life. I want to quit so bad but I have rent and bills to pay. My mental health has suffered way to much for $19 an hour

I feel you. Sedentary, thankless, stressful work is hell, I'm in the same boat. People can be such miserable selfish fucks.

I worked in a call centre for a couple years. I used to have nightmares after my shifts just about taking calls. I took a pay cut to leave, it was worth it. I hope you at least have coworkers you can vent with.

I dont know how you do that job. That's one job I could never do. I'd breakdown all the time with stress of it, your a strong person. Maybe you could look for a new job.

I had to quit working at QVC two weeks into training because I was fucking up so bad with my anxiety, and I wanted to kill myself every day. They kept telling me to read the knowledge base, but we're helping live customers... I also wanted to do it at my first job as a library page. Cold. Coworkers gossiping over a 15 year old. I didn't know this was retail! I can't stand obligations. Feels like a trap.

Hey, I work for Welocalize W2 and RWS and Appen Crowdgen 1099. It's data annotation for either Google or Meta, but you won't be told that's what you're working on. I've got a few jobs going that I'm not doing because I just tried to work for a few minutes today, and I almost blew a gasket out of frustration over my time limit at Welocalize. But if you can handle call center work, this won't be but a thing.

Pros:

No interview (I'm terrible. I don't understand what they want me to say. I've never gotten hired from an interview.)

No schedule, just requirements for payroll and a min and max number of hours.

You can work in public or private. Welocalize needs a Hotspot, though.

Cons:

Feast or Famine with 1099

Welocalize has the most confusing standards and guidelines, so this job is stressful because of the company.

I work in a call center and it's actually an upgrade from my previous role with the organization. The only downside is not seeing people everyday as that will really wear down your mental health.
