Omg. I just spent 36 minutes explaining to a man how to turn his son's toy on and make it work. The first question was "does it have a functional battery?" and he said yes.

After 34 MINUTES he decided to check if it actually had a battery. You know the rest of the story...

How does one get on at a family office?

Does anyone else feel like having kids is the only acceptable reason to not be in the office 24/7? If I choose not to have children, do I not have any valid reason to have a life outside work?

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

Getting into the military helped my feeling of abandonment due to my father's absence. It sounds funny, but being in the military showed me another type of parenthood that I needed.

I have a student who only comes to school two days a week and then only for 1 hour. He tells me I have to pass him so it doesn't matter. This is very frustrating. I knew this student hates school and often states he is stupid. I just do my best to encourage him. Build confidence. Any ideas to encourage him more? By the way, taking to his parent does nothing.

Women- if your husband says he fantizes about xyz actresses and models- how would you feel?

My sister & I don’t get along because i feel she is extremely rude & prefers outsiders over family. My parents however, despite the fact that she disrespects them too, always say she is our daughter & we have to deal with it so just let her be. My mom thinks she is not in a good financial state so we should help her & I don’t want to given her disgusting behavior. Every time i buy something nice for myself, my mom kind of pushes me to buy for her too, and I don’t want to. Continued..

Any recommendation for a divorce lawyer? Anyone experience with a divorce. 😔 can’t believe marriage is failing after all these years

Was talking to this girl ( arranged marriage ) over the past couple of months(jun-sep) and things were progressing towards in the correct direction.

During our inital conversion in the early stages, I had mentioned everything about my status (h1b. with early stages of perm,i-140 stage) and told her how she won't be able to get EAD immediately after coming the US)

All of sudden she said(oct) she now does not want to come to the US as my status does not allow her to work immediately in the US.

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended. I focused on my niece and nephews, cried when I wanted to and slept from 8pm-noon for the last 5 days. Showered once or twice. That’s the best I could do and that’s OK right now. I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

What interesting questions do you ask to get to know someone?

Has anyone started a new job while expecting a child? I'm thinking about it but could use some input from people with experience.

How do I deal with a parent who has become bitter and shrewd as they age? It’s exhausting and disheartening to be around because they used to be positive and happy. I’d like to help them be positive again but also want to give them space to feel how they feel. I just want them old version of my parent back 😞

Do you feel working in customer support has made you a better customer?

It’s time we collectively stop agreeing to be abused by customers just because management thinks we should.

I always consider it a win when I can make a customer laugh, it makes conversations run so much smoother

Is anyone else worried about how fast digital platforms are changing? Older employees are already struggling to keep up, and it feels like we always have a new platform to learn.

Managers, how do you help your customer support team avoid burnout?

When a customer asks how you are, what goes through your head before saying “I’m great, thanks”?

In my company, we have a staff of customer support agents to resolve user concerns, but they prefer to complain on social media and never call the number we give them. Should we transfer the agents to the Social Media platforms or insistently try to get them to call us?

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

Whew! That was a long one. I feel like spending over 10 mins on the line with customer support adds a bit of irritation which could turn unpleasant when issues aren’t resolved.

Remember most customer reps do want to help you. In some cases they just need to go through RED TAPE. 🙂

Is it normal to be ghosted after interviews? I’ve had three recently and not one callback.

Creative ways to respond to customer concerns without sounding scripted?

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.

I’ve spent 3 years working at a call center and I would do just about anything to get off the phones. Do I aim for a promotion, or would I be better off trying another industry?

Tell me a feel-good story from work that will restore my faith in humanity.

That moment the customer asks how your day is going and you have to decide between lying or getting fired 😂

Any suggestions for how to find a fully remote customer support job?
