Working in a call center brings all kinds of experiences, some good, some weird. One time, when i was working as call centre agent, I got a call from someone who turned out to work at the same company. After I helped him,he started asking for my last name and company ID so we could talk again outside of work. I told him it was against the rules, but he kept insisting. Later, he even messaged me on Teams as ke knew my first name. I never replied. The whole thing made me feel really uncomfortable.

Ugh yeah that kind of stuff happens sometimes and it's definitely weird and inappropriate. If you feel like someone is truly stalking you and making you feel unsafe, you should definitely talk to HR. But there are definitely times where you just have to ignore someone.

I spoke to the manager on duty about it right away. He suggested I should file a complaint to the person’s manager since we could find out who he reported to. But I didn’t want to waste my energy on it, so I decided to just let it go.

Working in an industry with geeks and incels of all ages, we have had to come up with code words for our young (high school and college age) female employees...and even occasionally, the males have to use it too,

That’s really not okay. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and respected at work

Ugh, that’s so unsettling. It’s tough when a work call crosses those personal boundaries. You handled it well by sticking to the rules and not responding. Trust your instincts—setting boundaries like that is really important!

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
