YAY! I MIGHT GET FIRED!!!! WOOHOO!!

[NikPreviousAcct]

:frown:

My company has literally doubled my work load and cut my required call times. One of my supervisors came over to me and talked to me this morning. If I don't get my call times down, I'm fired. :|

These pig fvckers...

The company that owns us is giving 15million in bonuses to it's execs, but we get our printing rights taken away due to the company not having enough money. Then I have to deal with idiot techs. Here's the funny thing: I can train both Tier1 and Tier2, and I'll get fired for my fvcking call times too high because tools and the computers are too slow to do everything they want me to do in the time alotted. Since they changed what we have to do (doubled our work load), our stats as a call center have gone to the GROUND. We are now DEAD LAST instead of FIRST PLACE. Our stats are the sh|ttiest I've seen them in the two years that I've been here. And that's saying something. Most techs don't last 6 months. The ones that do usually get burnt out at 18 months.

Fvck this place :|

even if i had a camera with me, pics would not do her justice... she demands to be seen in 3d! aieee.



sorry for hijacking your doublepost btw ffmcobalt. you should reduce your call times by hanging up on people prematurely

 

[Evadman]

We get fired for hanging up on one customer even once.

If sh|ttily was a word, I would use it.

Hang in there as long as you can. If your managers know what's up, they'll hopefully pass the message up the line if they have any balls. I was in a similar situation about a year ago and I got the heck out because we were getting overrun with new calls. I was lucky before they started trying to train me on how to be a camera technician. If you don't think things will improve, start looking around and see if you can find a job that makes you happier.

dude... I just tried saying "okay, ma'am, go ahead and open up your browser to see if you can browse" and I ended up saying "okay, ma'am, go ahead and open up your *looking through this thread* bra to see if you can - uh... I'm terribly sorry I meant open up your browser to see if..."

She laughed, so hopefully she wasn't offended

Will you pick a thread? Seriously, I think everyone on AT should call nik so he can get his times down.

Less posting, more work

Seriously, I've never been a big fan of "call times" as a statistic used to measure how well a help desk is operating.
My advice to you? Leverage your experience and get off the help desk.

I'm not a help desk. I'm a senior tech at the Tier2 level. The only people above me are the NOC.

I MIGHT GET FIRED!!!!

You know, I also can get fired. And I'm fully expecting it. The business of people for whom I work is rapidly going down. One wise (I think) and highly successful man once said to me: 'You gotta start looking for a new job right after you have found your present one'.

 

[apoppin]

From your previous posts, you KNEW this was coming.

Did you secure another job yet?
