I cringe when I'm at a friend's house and they answer their phone, find out it's a telemarketer, and just hang up on them. It's so rude. They know I have to cold-call people at my job and you'd think they would at least act like they were more respectful of the job.

Was promised a raise back in March, nothing major just a little bump, but it never happened and then the pandemic hit and financial outlook got scary for a bit so I let it go for the moment but turns out our agency is doing great financially- has given raises and bonuses since - advice on how to bring this up with leadership? Should I?

Things have been super stressful at work lately for a variety of reasons & a couple of weeks ago I decided to raise the issues with my Creative Director.
For context, he’s the reason for a lot of these problems and I (tactfully, I think) said as much. He listened to me patiently but took no responsibility and deflected blame with every issue raised.
Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)

Looking for furniture store recos in Brooklyn (new or second hand). I need a couple pieces including an office chair and would prefer to try them out in person. I'm in Fort Greene but I do have a car for places further out. Thanks for the help.

In the past year it feels like my role is taking on more of a ‘product’ focus - I’m focusing more around understanding audience and engagement strategy, feedback / iteration, and roadmapping.

I’d love to jump into a PM or PMM focused course to sharpen my skills - does anyone have recommendations on short courses (that I could hopefully spend my Personal Development budget on)

I have 13+ yoe in java, springboot, microservucrs, which cloud I should learn aws, azure or gcp

I just had my annual review with the company I’ve been working at for a year. During the review, I made my requests- one of which is to be promoted to Director of Marketing. (Which is what I’m doing already without the title) Now they are circling back and saying they want another year before promotion. And they want me to sign a non compete. How should I move forward before our next in person meeting? I’m not pleased.

Our office recently got a listing and as a realtor who's been looking for a home, I want it for myself. It's in my budget and it seems to be in good condition. Would it be unethical to keep it for myself?

What's your worse experience working in customer support?

Here's mine: I was working in the call center and I was explaining to a customer that he had used up all his credit and that's why he couldn't surf the Internet on his phone. He started to insult me for 8 minutes and, due to company policies, I could not hang up until he had finished.

Sometimes, just sometimes dealing with customers ALL DAY is really draining. Being in customer support, no one looks forward to “clock-out time” more than our department!

Is phone support truly as bad as TikTok makes it seem? I am starting a new remote job soon, and the negative things I see about phone support is scaring me away!

I hate when customers say “I understand it’s not your fault” and then continue to be rude anyway.

Hi fishes, do you get paid by the hour or receive a salary?

Is there a big difference between working at a call center and a smaller company? Why would you pick one over the other?

Having family members/friends in customer support can be a bit irritating, they NEVER turn that voice off! Always like “Sure! Happy to help!” and you know they’re not…Whew😩

My boss talks a lot about his inclusive hiring practices while not actually hiring anyone who would represent that. Is there anything we can do?

When you’re frustrated with a product, do you take that frustration out on the product? Would you go the customer support route?

More people are jumping to social media as an effective customer service tool. Why? 1) Email support takes forever. 2) No one wants to read the help page anymore. 3) It's a hit or miss getting in contact with great sales rep

Full-timers, do you get actual breaks or do you eat at your desk?

Do you prefer bots that oftentimes just provide a list of possible issues that you may have or an actual person where you can directly say what the issue is as your customer support? Let’s discuss!

It feels like customers treat me with a higher degree of disrespect because I have an accent, and that makes it hard for them to believe I understand what I'm saying

We’re losing employees, understandably so, because of how customers behave. That means longer wait times for support which makes customers even angrier. What happens when there is no one left to do the job?

I don’t think I can handle customer support any longer but I don’t know where to go from here. What are good career options for people with customer support skills?

Can I still work as a telemarketer even though I have a noticeable accent? People don't say they can't understand me but they seem relieved when they get to talk to somebody else. My boss acts like I'm not very good at the job and I think it's because some customers think I am an "outsider," for lack of a better term. I just want to fit in.

In this era, 57% of customers pefer live chat that are less likely to seem scripted. I gues humans do value having connections even if it's with their support rep.

Grabbing a coffee everyday with your customer support friend makes you say verbiage like “just one moment”

How do you prevent the negativity of your job from impacting your personal life?

People who have left customer support jobs, what would it take for you to get back into the industry?
