Wow, its been too long since I blogged. But honestly, there wasn't anything good to blog about.

So now I'm in telesales. And honestly, I hate it to a core. I have quotas to hit, I get nagged at everyday for low sales, etc etc etc.

Maybe I shouldn't be in sales line, because I do not like to force or persuade pple to purchase/sign up/agree with me on anything if they aren't keen at all.

The only perk I get from going to work is the sight of this gorgeous new colleague, Mike. He's so good looking and very friendly. *drool* But back to reality, gazing at Mike every day isn't going to fill my rice bowl.

For a while, I have been wondering whether to stay or go. Nice colleagues, yes. Understanding boss... hmm.. bearable. Nice office, nope. Pay wise? Sucks to the max. I wonder why I even lasted till now.

Thurs... my answer came. I was doing my calls and called some company. The moment I introduced myself and where I was from, the bitch screamed at me. She said many pple from my company had been calling her, she's not interested, and how come we don't have a tracking system. She was totally unreasonable and rude, and best... she used the F word on me.

I had to control my temper and explained to her politely that we have many sale depts here, and I am unable to track calls from other depts, however on my end, I'll take note and not call anymore. That should have pacified her, but NO! She told me not to dare hang up the phone and that she wanted to speak to the manager. And went on screaming and screaming away, god knows what she was talking about. I was very sick and tired of that bitch and repeated myself to her, that I will take note, and not call anymore, goodbye. I didn't even bother to thank her.

Now, I know everyone hates telemarketers. But seriously, must u go to the limit and start screaming and swearing? If you had a bad day, that's your damn problem. Don't bring it to work and lash out at innocent pple. And I warn you, you can reject me, you can hang up on me, but don't you bloody ever dare swear at me.

I lodged a complain against that bitch. I told them what happened and that this woman has no work ethics, is unprofessional, and is not fit to run a business.

And guess what! I had to go for counseling because of it! Said I didn't take the company's reputation into consideration. Hello, then what about staff welfare? Your staff got bullied. Your staff, who slogs for you, was verbally assaulted. And all you pple care about is your bloody reputation?

During counseling, I broke down and cried. I was so pissed and angry, and so tired of this stupid job. And that's where I decided, I'm leaving. I've had enough.

Apparently the bitch called back in the evening, demanding my manager apologised to her. Crazy. I think she better go to Institute of Mental Health for a check up.
