I’ve been working at a call center for almost two years and I’m really good at what I do. My stats are great, my customer service is great, and my accidents are very minimal. I love my co-workers and my boss (which is surprising isn’t it?) and the company I work for is a good company in my opinion.
That all being said, I’m going to put in my two weeks after today and I’ll barely be able to contain myself until I make it to the end of the two weeks.
I’ve never had a job where I’ve felt more trapped than in this one. Even when I get perfectly nice people and have an actually pleasant call with them I feel as though I’m fake and of course repeating the same things constantly over and over again just with a different name and voice.
I personally just can’t keep going on like I am. Literally shaking with anxiety just talking to people on the phone even when I’m perfectly fine at it and it’s irrational I know.
This isn’t something that’s new though, I always knew I wouldn’t be able to do it long term. I just didn’t think my own body would start to react to it in the way it has and I know that if I continue it’ll just get worse as it’s not the jobs fault for having the criteria it does.
I wish I didn’t feel like such a failure wanting to do this and after talking it over with friends and family I’ve gotten nothing but support for my decision because they know I’ll be okay and find another job even with everything going on.
I wanted to share this Incase anyone else was having this experience. Literally this morning I felt like I was just in purgatory with seemingly never ending calls, but now I feel like I’m about to take the next step to making myself happier and I’m at peace with my decision now.
