watching this video and reading your comment while im working as a call center employee fuck its terrible the first 3-4 months is allright after that my brain doesnt take it anymore im 6 months working now considering to leave very soon XD
I worked in a call centre for 2 years and I can honestly say between the stress/dread of going to work every day, on top of my depression and long commute, it shortened my life expectancy by at least a decade. It's not worth a six figure salary nevermind slave wages.
@@itgma-o5o What he is trying to say is that the job at pretty much every call center is such hell that is not worth not even for a 6 figure salary, imagine working in a job you would not work not even for 6 figures yet you are getting payed pennys, customer support is hell on earth because dealing with people all day long and reciving all their bad humour is life shortening
Lol right 6 figures, I'd go back for 50k, hell 30k, that's more than I make now at 40 hours a week in retail... I did this for 3 years, mostly political, but also Healthcare surveys, automobile manufacturer surveys, even Academy Awards tech support - it all sucked and the worst part was barely being able to pay rent and utilities.
Call center jobs have to be some of the worst jobs on earth.....its like you arent even a person lol. Are there any call center positions that arent hell?
Call center jobs are designed specifically to protect management and deflect the wrath of angry customers. If they can exhaust the patience of the callers and they give up, that is a side benefit. UNFORTUNATELY, the call center staff takes all the abuse in the process and management is blissfully unaware of the hatred that the CC is taking for them.
The truth is call center / customer service job is like the lowest position you can get in the corporate world. They'll say you're part of the team but it's a lie. Once you're involved in this industry for more than 5 years, it will be difficult to find another job. You'll be stuck with phone calls forever. So, get out now before it's too late..
I was a Verizon call center rep for 9 months. Every single phone call was hell. Every single problem people had was their own damn fault or their own stupidity. Every single person was an asshole.
To be fair - Verizon is a shit service, or so i've heard. But it's basically the only service for the internet in America. They basically monopolized internet providing there, and that sucks.
As someone who worked in a call center for a large telecom company, this is very accurate. The money or potential money is not worth losing your physical and mental health over. I was also very depressed, gained 20lbs, and had constant migraines when I worked there. Eventually I quit before they fired me and that had to have been one of the best decisions I've made in my entire life.
I worked at a call center for Farmers Insurance. The bosses encouraged us to act like we were their local neighborhood Farmers agent. I was in San Antonio Texas, and got cursed out by people from all over America. One memorable call..."Hello thanks for calling Farmers, how can I help you?" Screaming Karen from Seattle: " I just want to get this fucking car insured and don't you DARE transfer my call!!" I transferred her.
When I worked for an insurance company they monitor the calls. I found the mute button was shabby. If you push it in half way, it would make a static sound. "Umm mam, your phone is cutting out. I'm going to end this call now,. Thanks for calling!"
I worked in a call center for 8 years. Not only were our calls recorded, but timed and monitored. in addition, are bathroom breaks were timed. If you spent more than 5 minutes on a bathroom break, they would send someone from what we deemed, "potty patrol" to the bathroom and track you down. In our call center , the supervisors and managers were rejects from other departments and were dumped into our call center. They had no idea what they were doing which was an added stress.
When i worked at a call center i had the best handle time because i would just hang up on people that were being rude and i never made small talk. Everyone wondered how i handled the calls so fast lol.
Used to work at a call center for a certain famous gaming company, most common call was gamers whining they got banned, Karen calling because her kid used karen’s credit card to re-subscribe, and donkeys asking in-game questions. Moved to another department a few months after, far better job and treatment by the company. Was fun while it lasted, but the pay is shit at this particular famous AAA developer.
Any retail or customer service job is basically garbage, since people seem to get dumber & more rude & obnoxious with each day. I can't do any job with people anymore & I'm glad to work in a kitchen. And while this industry is inevitably doomed & more restaurants keep closing, I want to pursue in organic chemistry, so I can work in a lab & analyse food components & design recipes for big chains perhaps. Bless you
As a person who worked at a call center this is very accurate, A Lot of call centers suck and alot of them even have posters of suicide prevention (I am not kidding about this). A lot of people quit within 6 months to 2 years. But alot of times they quit in 6 months.
I worked in a call center and the worst part was realizing that 99% of the calls you took were from absolute morons suffering from Main Character Syndrome. I was called every name in the book including C word. I was told I ruined Christmas and birthdays because "YOU AUTO DRAFTED MY PAYMENT AND I DIDN'T AUTHORIZE IT" (yes you did, you signed off on it). Very rough job.
Eh, I worked at one 4 days a week 10 hours. I had healthcare that was pretty decent, a 401k and/or roth IRA. I was making $14.50 an hour, which by today's standards is pretty bad. But for my area in 2014, not too bad actually. I worked there for 17 months before the company shut it down. It was actually one of the best jobs I've had to be honest. It was a decent building too. Automatic card locked doors, nice Air Conidtioning (really important where I live as it gets 105 degrees daily in July/August), employee parking and it even had a nice little diner across the street that had solid coffee and apple pie. But the closed it. I heard they could outsource it to Mexico. That's life.
Ive sold cars. Ive sold phones. Ive worked for walmart. Ive literally shoveled cow crap in -10F weather. I was so cold, my tears were freezing to my face. I would do ALL of these jobs again, to never work in a call center again. Worst job in the world (for me at least).
Done call center work for 12 years in it. Wojak ain’t lieing to you all. Used to work for adt and did 3,000 calls a day. Five minutes per call with no break in between and back to back calls. Ten hours straight Monday through Friday
The amount of empowerment people get when they call in is absurd, some go straight to yelling or don't spend even a second considering that were both humans trying to help each other out.
I once had a customer complain that she was missing her favourite TV program because she was spending time phoning up the call centre. It was a 24-hour call centre
Oh man.. I did 2 weeks at a call center before I moved to chat center. Holy shit was that a demeaning fucking job. Not only you are a subhuman to most customers. You have to shut up and take it when they yell and curse at you, but also when you go down from the offices you’re surrounded by rich businessmen while you yourself earn minimum wage. Chat center is the same but you can’t hear the screams plus you don’t have to work from the office.

As someone who endured working as a email customer agent for nearly 8 years, I absolutely hated the micromanagement and the poor pay (literal CENTS per answered email) aspects of the job. It was so bad that I went ballistic on a customer, unleashing years of resentment I had against our overbearing bosses - and that got me fired. While I regret the way how I lost my job (not to mention how I'm currently jobless outside of freelancing and still looking for a new one), me finally being fired from that company is strangely liberating. I personally don't mind relatively low pay if companies saw us as people and not as gears in a machine. It's why I am happy I have a freelance job as an English teacher; it ain't much financially, but the feeling of satisfaction when someone learns through my help is more than worth it.
As somebody who use to work in a call center for years, I genuinely question wtf did I do with my life wasting most precious moments doing a crap job like that? Thankfully I moved up and took on much better job that does not involve me talking nonstop on the phone. Never again will I ever do such a job.
Don't forget it was probably the only job available to you at the time. Sub5s and Normies seldom ever get to choose their career or the job they really want. All we can hope for is to find a job that is O.K. and the people you work with are alright. If you have the latter, even riding a garbage truck is a good job if you like the crew you ride with.
@@BlackPill-pu4vi I had same mindset back then taking on these jobs. But the truth of the matter is, the "scarce mindset" is the mindset that holds people back from reaching their full potential. The reality is your value in this life is all determined by you. What you believe in and whatever work your willing to put into yourself is what you get. But narrowing down your life to "I'm content with this job that is just enough to pay bills and get me by" , I would respectfully say this this is the wrong mindset to have. Rather instead people should ask "Am I capable of reaching great potential?"

@BlackPill-pu4vi I've successfully launched 2 running businesses, lost 40lbs of weight during COVID, also work a full time job, run marathons and go to the gym everyday. Oh and I also got a wife and kids that I spend quality time with on top of all that. Your entitled to believe your "locked door" and "ceiling" theory, whatever that means. To me accepting the current status quo is called being okay with mediocrity. I personally detest that. But if you're okay with that, that's none of my business. I've enjoyed challenging myself learning what great things I'm capable of doing. And Im just getting started. I encourage others to do the same thing if they wish to see their full potential
Working as a janitor is way better than a call center job. At least you don't need high school diploma to qualify for the lowest wage slavery job ever existed.
I actually feel really grateful for the call centre job I have. I get to work from home, I get loads of time to myself, save on costs associated with working. I deal with the awful parts of the job by just reminding myself of what I'm grateful for. Seriously: gratitude is a great tonic when you are dealing with toxicity.
I mean, Not really..:you could go to school or figure out how to upskill and get a better job. Slaving away at something trying to justify its good is not a great way of advancing.
@@fritz4573 who said anything about slaving away or having an awful job? My job is great, but - like everything else - it isn't always great. But your idea is good too.
I worked at the call center for both AT&T and Enterprise Car Rental. OMG, was I so glad when I transitioned into public health as a health inspector which is what I do now. People called saying all sorts of things. But honestly 80% of the calls were really nice folks who had service issues and just needed a gentle caring voice to guide them the right way, which is what I did 😊
Boss or no boss, callcenters usually have a program that counts the amount of calls and their duration during the shift. I used to get good comments and calls saying I had the best customer service of anyone at my job on record and my boss still managed to complain my calls took 2-3 minutes longer than they should...
Worked at a large telecom call center saving customers from disconnecting their accounts for almost 2 years. I started just before covid and then had to spend the next year and a half taking nasty calls in my home. I had a terrible job before this one so for the first year or so, I didn't mind this, I did everything by the book, sprinkled in a little charisma, and was one of the highest performers. Eventually when management made it so you couldn't have even 1 customer a day disconnect otherwise you didn't meet "targets", my morale and overall happiness suffered. I never wanted to work from home in the first place, it just became the only way during covid and the lockdowns if I wanted to keep the job. Eventually, I moved up the corporate ladder and now am an account manager at the same company, less talking to people and better pay, yet it's still a job dealing with people and their problems and some days can be pretty dark.
@@grantcanty7294 thanks man. Yeah there’s a couple of internal opportunities that interest me. I job shadowed for one of them recently. Just gotta keep grinding and wait till they get posted and I’ll apply for sure
I wonder if out there is a call center employee that is reasonably paid, not burnt out and most importantly with just the right amount of sociopathy that he doesnt give a fuck about the costumer, matter fact he enjoys to frustrate the costumers to the point of where he is almost enjoying working at a call center.
I lasted only 2 days (1 day of that was training) working at an answering service. Just could not stand trying to "impersonate" the various businesses that had subscribed to the service, and the pressure of trying to read the computer screen while somebody was speaking to me assuming that I had any clue about the doctor/lawyer/Realtor etc they were trying to reach. The only job I ever went to my supervisor saying "Really! Stop paying me right now. I am not cut out for this!"
Worked in call centers the first 7 yrs of my adult life. I joined the Army to escape, the revolving door of burnout, and then I became an RN, which in itself is its own personal hell.
There are some call centers that are inefficiently run. Some people there just write a ticket or write down your complaint. Then you have to hope for the best if they actually fix your problems. And other call centers are involved in scamming. Thats something left out in this video.
I hate it that scamming centers exist, but at the same time, I'm sad that employees find themselves having to work for these scam companies simply because they genuinely need the money (to support their families, to pay their monthlies, etc.). If more (and BETTER) job opportunities were available, people won't make deals with the devil and turn themselves into willing scammers.
@@neves783001 Its sucks for Indians that they usually get stuck working online at scam centers and internet scams. It gives their country a bad rep. But I know some people there speak out against it. Favorite Anime?
As someone who worked in a call center for years, this is accurate. I remember crying at my previous job every single day because I was working a toxic job and being micromanaged and I was harassed by my previous coworker. Now I no longer work in a call center and I work a non phones job and the only major problems I have is tech issues and the emails and meetings can be annoying sometimes.
I worked at a call center it was so horrible I was an interpreter and we had a lot of calls daily and only and hour off the only good thing was that the payed 😂😂
I work in a call center with a suspiciously similar everything to this one. It's a shitty ass job. They pay high but once your there for a year they're finding anyway to cut you from your position and literally lie to you about metrics etc.
3.5 years of phone technical support internal to a large insurance company was enough to drive me mad. The callers were barely literate with zero critical thinking skills who resented having to use computers. This was before remote access so they had to be walked through troubleshooting. It was pure hell. I would prefer death to working a phone support job.

I used to work on a callcenter and really enjoyed every situation there. I had happy call with some and really bad too but yes it eats brain most of times if you are not a calm person like me 😂
Your shifts ends .. and your brain is deep fried from handling all those people calls .. a very , very bad job. I would prefer be on a thrash collect run with a garbage truck than this. The other job as bad with calls is Telemarketer .. man .. this is rock bottom
Yeah, facts. My (now ex) co-workers at the customer service company I used to work for pretty much always hit the bar after work, and with how entitled our clients were, I can't blame 'em. Saying this as someone who worked in the industry for over seven years...
A tip for anyone working in CS, if a client is being a dick, just be nonchalant in a way that could piss them off. Just make sure you’re being really respectful as well. As soon as they cuss u out or threaten you, then they don’t get to rate you

Hopefully you won't reach your ceiling for a long time. But, when you do and all of the self-actualizing mantras you've used in the past no longer work, then you'll understand.
@BlackPill-pu4vi I've successfully launched 2 running businesses, lost 40lbs of weight during COVID, also work a full time job, run marathons and go to the gym everyday. Oh and I also got a wife and kids that I spend quality time with on top of all that.
Your entitled to believe your "locked door" and "ceiling" theory, whatever that means. To me accepting the current status quo is called being okay with mediocrity. I personally detest that. But if you're okay with that, that's none of my business.
I've enjoyed challenging myself learning what great things I'm capable of doing. And Im just getting started.
I encourage others to do the same thing if they wish to see their full potential
@@AliAli-fk8ec More power to ya.
Working as a janitor is way better than a call center job. At least you don't need high school diploma to qualify for the lowest wage slavery job ever existed.
I actually feel really grateful for the call centre job I have. I get to work from home, I get loads of time to myself, save on costs associated with working. I deal with the awful parts of the job by just reminding myself of what I'm grateful for. Seriously: gratitude is a great tonic when you are dealing with toxicity.
Facts! I feel the same way about my WFH job.
Agreed. Mindset is everything
I mean, Not really..:you could go to school or figure out how to upskill and get a better job.
Slaving away at something trying to justify its good is not a great way of advancing.
@@fritz4573 who said anything about slaving away or having an awful job? My job is great, but - like everything else - it isn't always great.
But your idea is good too.
@@fritz4573 i think it's fair to point out that you can aspire to any height and still be grateful along the way as you progress
I used to work in an AmEx call center. Taught me some really valid life lessons - like how fickle life is.
I will never forget. I worked at a major company customer service centre and my manager said “this is not customer service, this is fuck off service”
Which company and what did they ment by fuck off service?
I worked at the call center for both AT&T and Enterprise Car Rental. OMG, was I so glad when I transitioned into public health as a health inspector which is what I do now. People called saying all sorts of things. But honestly 80% of the calls were really nice folks who had service issues and just needed a gentle caring voice to guide them the right way, which is what I did 😊
Boss or no boss, callcenters usually have a program that counts the amount of calls and their duration during the shift. I used to get good comments and calls saying I had the best customer service of anyone at my job on record and my boss still managed to complain my calls took 2-3 minutes longer than they should...
More and more people come to this channel, as the story is everyone story at some point of life😢😂
Bogdanoff PUMPED IT in this episode!
Had Wojak just held off on the opening line, he wouldn't have spoiled his own plans to defame the company.
"omg ahahhaha that was incredible "
the way bog said: excelont pump it on the post best line ever
No other job caused me such anxiety. I would wake up with panic attacks. Worst job ever
This was my first job during the summer before college AND IT WAS SOUL SUCKING… it was worse than physical labor on a hot day (did it).
You can’t knock wojak for his work ethic.He’s had more jobs than Johnny sins
8:55 "Now nobody can disturb me with calls" - Gets called literally 3 seconds later 😂
Worked at a large telecom call center saving customers from disconnecting their accounts for almost 2 years. I started just before covid and then had to spend the next year and a half taking nasty calls in my home. I had a terrible job before this one so for the first year or so, I didn't mind this, I did everything by the book, sprinkled in a little charisma, and was one of the highest performers. Eventually when management made it so you couldn't have even 1 customer a day disconnect otherwise you didn't meet "targets", my morale and overall happiness suffered. I never wanted to work from home in the first place, it just became the only way during covid and the lockdowns if I wanted to keep the job. Eventually, I moved up the corporate ladder and now am an account manager at the same company, less talking to people and better pay, yet it's still a job dealing with people and their problems and some days can be pretty dark.
hang in there man! you ever thought about applying to different jobs?
@@grantcanty7294 thanks man. Yeah there’s a couple of internal opportunities that interest me. I job shadowed for one of them recently. Just gotta keep grinding and wait till they get posted and I’ll apply for sure
I wonder if out there is a call center employee that is reasonably paid, not burnt out and most importantly with just the right amount of sociopathy that he doesnt give a fuck about the costumer, matter fact he enjoys to frustrate the costumers to the point of where he is almost enjoying working at a call center.
I've worked for Airbnb support center. Its a fucking HELL never again in my life
I worked for VRBO lmfao 😂 terriblleeee
How you smash out one of these per day is absolutely beyond me.
Every time Ive been fired I also put my computer in the trash. That's just protocol right??
is anyone ever going to mention boomer always wearing the naruto headband and akatsuki t-shirt (which the main naruto villains wear).
Yesss 😂
When i worked in collections and a debtor would cuss me i would say "Using four letter words as adjectives and adverbs doesn't impress me at all."
I lasted only 2 days (1 day of that was training) working at an answering service. Just could not stand trying to "impersonate" the various businesses that had subscribed to the service, and the pressure of trying to read the computer screen while somebody was speaking to me assuming that I had any clue about the doctor/lawyer/Realtor etc they were trying to reach. The only job I ever went to my supervisor saying "Really! Stop paying me right now. I am not cut out for this!"
Worked a call center for 3 months. Never felt more like a puddle people love to step on.
I agree. No boss means no stress
I used to work as an over the phone tool salesman. Most bizarre job I ever had. The boss spanked a misbehaving employee in front of the whole office!
What did she do wrong?
@@Chonchey She? It was a man. A 6'5" 260lb man. He pulled a knife on a co-worker.
@@Big_Ben1988 so he got spanked as punishment?
@@Chonchey Yes in front of everyone!
@@Big_Ben1988🤣
Still waiting for the moment the Boss gets his ass handed to him. He's the real villain in the story because at least Bogdanoff is hilarious.
Worked in call centers the first 7 yrs of my adult life. I joined the Army to escape, the revolving door of burnout, and then I became an RN, which in itself is its own personal hell.
There are some call centers that are inefficiently run. Some people there just write a ticket or write down your complaint. Then you have to hope for the best if they actually fix your problems. And other call centers are involved in scamming. Thats something left out in this video.
I hate it that scamming centers exist, but at the same time, I'm sad that employees find themselves having to work for these scam companies simply because they genuinely need the money (to support their families, to pay their monthlies, etc.).
If more (and BETTER) job opportunities were available, people won't make deals with the devil and turn themselves into willing scammers.
@@neves783001 Its sucks for Indians that they usually get stuck working online at scam centers and internet scams. It gives their country a bad rep. But I know some people there speak out against it. Favorite Anime?
As someone who worked in a call center for years, this is accurate. I remember crying at my previous job every single day because I was working a toxic job and being micromanaged and I was harassed by my previous coworker. Now I no longer work in a call center and I work a non phones job and the only major problems I have is tech issues and the emails and meetings can be annoying sometimes.
Im going to say, "Do whatever, I fear no one." the next time my boss says I'm getting written up.
I just left my call center job wow what timing . After one year never again
Wojak be like " I think I know this voice" after being dumped by Bogdanoff more times than people take out the trash worldwide, can't believe it,.
DUMP IT
One of the best videos so far
Man what is that perfect intro :D finally some budget!
Do it like Complex 😃
Each morning doing everyday routine i am watching you wojack. Thank you
I almost got a job in a call center but my friend talked me out of it.
I worked at a call center it was so horrible I was an interpreter and we had a lot of calls daily and only and hour off the only good thing was that the payed 😂😂
I worked for a call center for insurance claims and quit after a week lol
His sniffling cry is funny everytime
Can't stop laughing, BTW this is why call centers are in India, they dont get or care about westerners emotions. 😂
Yes
😅😅😅 Call centers are in India bc of low pay.
Wojack has been through hell..he deserves a raise and a medal
I work in a call center with a suspiciously similar everything to this one. It's a shitty ass job. They pay high but once your there for a year they're finding anyway to cut you from your position and literally lie to you about metrics etc.
3.5 years of phone technical support internal to a large insurance company was enough to drive me mad. The callers were barely literate with zero critical thinking skills who resented having to use computers. This was before remote access so they had to be walked through troubleshooting. It was pure hell. I would prefer death to working a phone support job.
I did it as a student job. Good to get used to rejekction
'He stole my girlfriend and went on vacation' - Subbed.
2:12 with GDPR, phones on the floor would usually get you fired immediately in many call centers.
-From a former call center agent
Worked in a cal center for 2 years. I can’t wait to watch this!
Lord Wojak, you need to do an episode and introduce Sminem to the story. Something where he comes in and ruins Bogdanoff schemes and helps wojak and friends live a better life!
Bogdanoff cannot be defeated. Wojak might get a lucky break but, Bogdanoff wins in the end. Just like in real life.
@@BlackPill-pu4vi Don't be so black pilled my friend, he bleeds and dies like the rest of the plebes...actually in real life both of the Bogdanoff twins are already dead, not even their fortunes could save them.
@@barcelosm6395 I AM the manifestation of the Black Pill.
There is Bogdanoff of the Earth and there is Bogdanoff of the Spirit. The latter is immortal and continues his work on Wojak videos.
I'm glad this industry is dying because it sucks that you're getting paid to annoy people, we should just let psychopaths deal with those jobs
Why the f is this in my search history when I didn't even search for it!
Boomer has a beer business? Who would have thought 😂
Wojak seriously needs to stop chasing after Emily. He's not doing himself any favors.
"Dump-PEET-ah!" LOL!!!
I always used to call such people during breaks in high school and annoy them with stupid questions
Every time I have to do some kind of bs at work the screaming guy from these videos is yelling in my head
I worked in this shit for over 2 years. Never again.
I used to work on a callcenter and really enjoyed every situation there. I had happy call with some and really bad too but yes it eats brain most of times if you are not a calm person like me 😂
Your shifts ends .. and your brain is deep fried from handling all those people calls .. a very , very bad job. I would prefer be on a thrash collect run with a garbage truck than this. The other job as bad with calls is Telemarketer .. man .. this is rock bottom
Yeah, facts.
My (now ex) co-workers at the customer service company I used to work for pretty much always hit the bar after work, and with how entitled our clients were, I can't blame 'em.
Saying this as someone who worked in the industry for over seven years...
I had a helpdesk IT internship and it's the worst thing I ever did. Never went back.
Call center is worse, you’re dealing with the general public. And the call volume is typically much higher than a help desk.
That's cool boomer is a good friend it make me remenber old time
I love Boomer's high-top fade, HAHAHAHA.
I did this and laughed a lot at customers..😅
This job will either make or break you
A tip for anyone working in CS, if a client is being a dick, just be nonchalant in a way that could piss them off. Just make sure you’re being really respectful as well. As soon as they cuss u out or threaten you, then they don’t get to rate you
The sound effects.... are something else...
I've actually had a call like that first call lmao he ended up threatening me with enough that we had the police track him down
wow this hits close to home.
Well tbh most are f in clueless tho😅😂
Some of the customers you get at call centers are fucking insane. I got yelled at a customer by calling "Itemized Billing" a "Letter"
A lot of food in that plate - taco, burrito, pizza, fries, and burger
I just got a job at gm card, seems to have 100 rules, manager, TL and blah blah, micro managing.. for now it’ll have to work till my ticket is paid off
O my god!! My life is exatly just like his😢
At least you have cool boomer in your life
