ill work the 2 last weeks of august, in a mall.... well it pays 'good' (lets say better then all the rest)

As pretty much everyone knows I'am a corrections officer and I like my job.

Night auditor. Best job I've ever had.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

:'( Doesn't help me very much.

What you wanted to know?

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

I wanted to know your old jobs you HATED!

I that case it was when I worked for OfficeMax. What bullshit, a company that so cheap it can't affrod to keep a store staffed with enough people to run the damn place. $6/hr and haveing to do everything short of a managers job sucks.

Oh, well that's easy. I used to work for the local ISP, Onewest.net. I did tech support, regardless of the fact that they never bothered to officially train me. That's the worst kind of job you could ever possibly have. I mean tech support anywhere is bad, but in Wyoming? I'm not kidding, I would get at least two calls every single day in which the customer would say, and I quote, "My internet is broken." You don't know misery until you've had to explain the physics of double-clicking to an elderly hispanic woman who's bad with english. I've done it, and it took me nearly two fucking hours.

I worked as an ATR (Advanced Technical Representative) for DISH Network for over 1.7 years. I'd sit for 8 hours, talking to irate customers about their TV not working, and trying to coerce them into following my instructions to try to fix it.

Being in ATR, I got calls transferred to me that the regular, dipshit techs didn't know what to do with, or they just didn't want to deal with it. We were dumped all kinds of calls that we weren't even supposed to receive. We got billing, Supervisor calls, account activations, anything you can think of that isn't technical. We were so good at our jobs (and everyone else's), that as a 'Thank You', they disbanded our department when they were releasing 6+ new products that year that none of the regular representatives had any CLUE how to troubleshoot, so calls began to run VERY long and they put us on 'Mandatory Overtime' for a month or two.

What finally pissed me off enough to quit, is that they released a brand new receiver model (The DishPro 921) without telling us, and only mentioning a few technical aspects about it. So, we had customers calling in on it, and we didn't even know it was released. This thing wasn't a simple receiver either. It was a dual-tuner, DVR with High Definition capabilities being packed out with a new type of Dish that we couldn't even troubleshoot per orders from the Executive Office...

After that, and their refusal to take us off the phone long enough to give us some training as to what the fuck things were, I gave 2 weeks notice and left the company.

Edit: Raz, I spent 55 minutes on the phone with an old man trying to get him to press 3 buttons in sequence on his remote.

I've also spent 1.5 hours on the phone arguing with a customer as to why *I* can't move the satellite into alignment with their Dish.

I've also spent a good deal of time telling customers that they're responsible for paying the $300 of porn movies that their child ordered.
