Guest Leviticus Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 call center side-effect: kapag graveyard shift ka: sa bus or jeep on your way to work ikaw lang ang sober na passenger. ultimong pati kundoktor at driver nakainom on your way home riding the bus or jeep ikaw lang ang nakainom. all the other passengers ay sober. :mtc: Quote Link to comment

orionpax Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 depends on your experience, if you have prior consulting work experience (like SGV/Arthur Andersen, Price Waterhouse & Coopers, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, etc) and experience in the job you are applying for you are in a better position to negotiate for a better salary (if from other industries) for new grads, its a battle among the top grads from the top schools (starting salary is 18K up circa 2004) hi! alam ba nyo ang starting pay sa mga bpo? in particular sa accenture? thanks in advance <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment

innocentbaby23 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 hey guys just drop by... everybody are entitled to their own opinions and if you really thinks that working in a call center is a risky one thats fine but as how i see things is that it depends on how you take care of your self yung sinasabi nilang youll learn to smoke dahil lahat ng kasama mo nagssmoke din well its not true its always a matter of choice depende sayo yun basta ako i love my job no matter how other people see it its still the best for me... :cool: Quote Link to comment
new2dabeat Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I don't know how it is these days, but when I was a call-center worker, they pretty much made sure we were all fairly happy and that the workplace was conducive to minimizing stress. The callcenter was equipped with motorized ergonomic workstations and 20" monitors (this at a time when 20" PC monitors were upwards of $1K apiece). Every employee had the option to terminate a call if the caller was being belligerent or otherwise unreasonable. We were encouraged to "bump up" the call to the next tier if we made best efforts to troubleshoot in vain (instead of waiting for an irate customer to get so frustrated to the point of asking for a supervisor). Soda was subsidized such that each can costs a quarter from the machine. Fairly frequent training sessions on new developments, and so on. All in all it was a pretty decent atmosphere. I guess those days are gone huh? Quote Link to comment
Queen Darkeinjel Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 it's my fourth yes po pang apat na taon ko na to sa industry and I LOVE THE JOB! helped (financially) me get married, now it's helping me pay my bills... but again kahit naman saan trabaho mahirap, there's no such thing as an easy job, iba iba nga lang yung stress na maeencounter mo... so siguro depende na how a person will deal with it... merong mga tao na okay lang meron naman hindi, so i guess long before you think of joining any industry for that matter think it 100x over. pagaralan mo yung pros and cons then tsaka ka magdecide... as for me, okay pa naman ako dito so far so good... im happy still. for those interested, again think about it and check your health. good luck po sa lahat kung ano man yung napili niyong field of work... :headsetsmiley: Quote Link to comment
igol ays Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) just want to share with call center folks... the previous night, i was unable to log on to the internet. i have dsl; my provider is sbc (name recently changed to at&t after at&t was bought by sbc). i did some troubleshooting (checked my configs, my lines, power cycled my equipment, etc.). everything checked out, but still no connectivity. so yesterday, i called tech support. by chance, i got a CC person from the philippines. he said his name is "G". i tried to make casual conversation with him but he said they are not allowed to do so. he would not even tell me which particular office he works out of. he did a line test; that seems to have been the problem, and i was able to get on the internet. he also opened another trouble ticket for the telco to check out my line. he was courteous, professional, and did a great job. if anyone of you know him, please give him my thanks for a job well done.

But for the greater majority, this problem is becoming a menace. Thats why this is really a good time to get isnide the health supplment business. Since you're in call center, I might have a business proposal for you to supply health beverages. If you're interested let me know so we can talk about some plans on covering your firm. :headsetsmiley: Quote Link to comment

(not to mention some of the grammatical errors in your post)i hope that we are not working in the same company (i think not) because if we are, I would have to take a closer look at our recruitment standards.i just thought you'd might want to try your advice on yourself first before serving it to others...
