as some may know, michelle (ourlass) started a new job a few months back and was on a probationary training period, she always knew she was doing well at work (loyds tsb call centre) but there was always the chance that she may not have been suitable for the company and couldnt have been finiished from the job

 

anyway, she had her one to one with the bosses who were delighted with her and the progress she has made, so she has now been kept on and has been signed off from the training, she is now a fully fleged member of the team and has got a small rise (she can also do some overtime now lol)

 

its a weight off our shoulders, i know its only a call centre, but she could have still lost her job, im well chuffed and she actually loves this job

 

well chuffed

nothing wrong with call centres, it annoys me how people categorise call centre staff, yes its not glamorous and it does not provide conversation in the pub however it can be a very thankless job and call centre workers have to put up with a lot of crap of people at the other end of the phone.

 

good for her!

Nice one!-the wife works at an alarm call centre and you want hear some of the shite she gets!! ;)

wasnt degrading cal centres, i think its quite a good lace to work, i would work there if i didnt already have a job

I know you werent Stella but it can be the butt of many jokes

 

they really are good fun places to work (apart from the customers lol) i only went to one as a gap filler between jobs and im still at one 3 years later and for a job that does not require any sort of qualifications the pay deals can be very rewarding.

 

The only down side is your sat on your arse for 8 hours and eat constantly so it can be a bit unhealthy for the waste line

ime supprised there are call centres in this country ?? normally ime yapping to someone from the punjarb

My eldest daughter has just got a Job at British Gas call centre in Leeds, she's chuffed to bits, and the wages are brill.
