The Sad Thread (Anti-Snoo)

I wouldn't get addicted to them, I've done benzos for years without issue but still not a wise idea.

Work!

It's getting too much, this new job is a nightmare far too difficult with terrible training totally underprepared. I'm coming out of work every night feeling like my head is going to explode & stressed out my mind. There's too much to deal with for £6 an hour and we're expected to take on far too much responsibility as well. Everyone in my team is having mental breakdowns, no one should need to leave work feeling the way I am and definitely not for a shitty min wage job. I'll not last much longer.

Don't let it get to you - for £6 a hour just smile at them & say "yeah ok I'm doing it, don't stress" it's amazing how effective that can be, you may run a small risk of being sacked BUT you get dole of you get sacked you get fuck all if you walk.

Can hardly bosh benzos every night though, imagine where that'll lead.

Yeah, just imagine...

It IS stressful though and quite difficult because it's so techinical, plus you only get angry customers who's livelyhoods are being ruined by my company due to fuck ups are you're expected to take on loads of responsibility and see every issue through to the end which means you end up dealing with shit for ages and drives me mad. I did fuck all today, turned up late, didn't bother to log in on time, went and had breakfast instead, messed around all day and then left 30mins early. Couldn't even face that last half hour.

 

[cherrycolouredfunk]

Too much emotion, i'm going to bed. I'd love to not wake up, however I inevitably will, feeling even worse than I do now.

 

[Allein]

Yeah, just imagine...

Your right you need to be taking them day and night to get the full effect

Not a recommebndation by the way, before anyone makes a start with a sense of humour failure

You know all of this stuff anyway Spade as i think you've worke in such place before, but I've worked and run call center / helpdesk teams and worked on the phons in the past, these dasy i only get to deal with the really pissed customers !

You need to focus on distancing yourself from it all, they are just a person on the end of the phone they can say what they want, I just let it wash over me as much as possible. Guessin you have those missed calls / abadonned calls / calls answered in X seconds stats? well, fuck them as well. A long as you can mangage to turn up up time and do the bare minumum you'll be sitting pretty in th middle of those stats and thet'll leave you alone. Thats they way it works where I am anyhow.

I have to go out and visit the unhappy custopmers from time to time ,that's really "fun". I'm nmot getting all preachy here I've worked in and around customer service for 20 years, people are rarely happy when their "whatever" doesnt do "whatever" it should do so you just have to xe-pect them to be shitty with you. in the days when I used to deal direct over the phone with people with broken kit i would alwasy play the game of , the mopre unpleaseant you are to me the more stupidly polite I would be with them.

Al,most all jobs are shit in there own way, but remeber the one consistnant factor where ever you go.....you

Don't let the fuckers grind you down

When I clock in for work I switch my brain off and just get through my 12 hour shifts on autopilot. When I clock out at end of shift I don't give the place a second thought until I have to go there again. If I couldn't switch off then the place would drive me fecking mad

I don't care that much about the customers going daft, most of the time it doesn't phase me in the slightest. You get folk in tears because customers are shouting at them, which is ridicolous, it's just someone at the end of the phone. At worst I get frustrated with some of them who call you wanting you to fix their problem but aren't willing to let you help them and just want an argument. If all else fails you cut them off or transfer them to another department, job done! Yeah we have stats to meet and they are difficult to meet, you need to really be quick on every call, no messing about in between them, notes typed up mid call and no after call time or you're not hitting the targets. So just turning up and doing bare min won't acheive them.

We had the head of the company in today telling us how great the company is doing, profits up, share price up etc....well try fucking paying us an actual wage instead of peanuts. That pissed me off.

Feelin for ya matey, my place sounds about the same its a 20second pick up time and 5% abandonment rate, I don't work directly in that area but i work in the same part of the office.

My area is swamped with work much, projects with timelines pulled out of the the air as well as te4chnical issues that we have little influence over as they are services provided by 3rd parties.

I guess what I'm trying to say is last year I let it grind me down and it was a major factor in my breakdown, the worste that can happen if you turn up and do a decent days work is they can manage you out, that takes months and since you hate the place anyway it aint no big deal. If you can't hit the numbers by doing an average job then neither can most people, they will work on a bell curve of performance so don't sweat it too much.

If you lived down south i could get you an interview at our place , at least I'd have seomone to talk to /take the piss out of

 

[TheSpade]

I could actually be asked to leave at any minute, I'm just an agency worker with little rights. Not having that job doesn't bother me, it would probably be a blessing and allow me to focus on my online money making schemes, making decent cash from them and could make so much more if I wasn't out at work all day but it's not really guaranteed and could all go tits up tomorrow so quitting a job would be risky.

 

[smackcraft]

I cant fucking believe this i worked as a telecomms engineer specializing in alcatel but never got to do the alcatel university course before leaving which is needed for the job offering £40k per year ... i fucking specialized in alcatel at that job but never finished the training cos i decided to stay off work to be with my GF on one of the most busy days we had in weeks FUCK FUCK FUCK i really wish i never met her , i know everything was my choices but they were manipulated by her and lost so many jobs due to having to be the driver for us and her kid whos nursery didnt start until 30 mins after my works starting time and was about 40mins drive time in traffic away from my job when she knew i was getting in to trouble all the time and could of put her kid toa child minder ... i gave upso much shit for her and now im paying the fucking price once again

NEVER will i put a relationship in front of my career again ... the amount of things thats gone wrong because i met her is un fucking real

Fuck the reason i started taking smack when i gout out of rehab which i may remind people i done a runner after getting funding to finish the full program which is like gold dust in aberdeen and i mean it no one gets funding here cos of the council being in so much debt but because my family knew people and the rehab said i was doing incredibly well and never seen someone improve and learn as quick as me they got me the funding but no no i do a runner after a month and for her to say she wants tobe with me then call me from teh airport 2 weeks later saying shes leaving i had lost the chance that NO ONE in aberdeen is getting and i could of to turn my life around and fuck i wouldnt of even been there if i never met her i would of been at ,my job working hard like i was doing well instead of thinking about her and fucked my head up and all my jobs with it for her to fuck off ... she really fucked me over big time !

^ you really need to stop blaming others for your problems and stand up and take responsibility for your life & your bad choices & mistakes.

excuse me but if you know anything at all about recovery you are told if you need to talk about something you talk and you talk about it as much as you can instead of bottling it up and making things worse for your self so theres a little lesson on recovery

you obviously dont know what BL is for HR which includes support and you dont get that from keeping things in even if it means saying it again and again

so poor fucking you if you dont even know that about recovery yet or maybe you dont want to recover where as i do and will use this site for what its made for so no if i feel the need to say something i will say it as long as im not being offensive towards people !

AND yes i do take resposability as i said yes they were my own choices in the post but when manipulated your decisions can be changes easily and unfortunately im not very strong minded that way to say no to people but i will admit when ive done wrong straight away

 

[Allein]

Hey SC, lets all hold it down just a bit. I think maybe there were a few people all saying the same thing so i can understand why you may feel a bit picked on.

I believe what others (and me)are trying to say is, yeah go ahead vent away, but have the decency to actually read the responses and think about them or you may as well not bother with the venting in the first place.

It you that decides to do what you do and ingest what you ingest, I don't care what excuses you come up with they remain just that, excuses.

I can see you know this from the post above but so much of what you post doesn't acknowledge the fact

 

[smackcraft]

i know they were my decisions in the end mate and ive already admited to that but a weak thing in me is being able to say no and is something i tried to work on while in rehab and will again when i start going to the recovery meetings again , ive put my hands up i fucked up and yes it was my decision and my choices that take the consequences but as i said i am very weak minded when saying no to people and thats still taking responsibility because im admitting a weakness that i have and something i need help with

 

[Allein]

^^^^

Best of luck mate, i aint in any position to be preachin believe.

You seem to have family and people around you who care and would do anything for you (you old man baling out your debts, not many people have that)

Hope you get sorted mate I know I can speak for everone here, we all wish you the best ....part from Spade who is a cunt ...apparently

You're entitled to your opinion but there's no reason to be so nasty in the way that you express it.
So yes, change your record please.
