Well here it goes. 8+ years into a call center for a major wireless company, entering my mid 30s. Worked my way up to a point,, but since COVID hit and we have gone back to work from home, I have had to go back to being on phones due to short staffing in a department. It is honestly the worst thing ever. Recent changes have created some new positions, but I didn’t even get an interview, people were hand selected that did not qualify at all. I am sticking it out for now since I am the only one working in my household at the moment since COVID and keeping benefits has been important.
I have been debating looking for a new job for a long while, and a lot in the last year. But have been in my own head about it not being the best time to look for something new. But I have applied for more jobs in the last week than I have in the last 8 years. My happiness at my job is literally a 1-3/10 depending on the day.
I got some extra money saved and 150 hours of PTO, so really thinking about just using all that and leaving at the end and not going back.
