of all the days to work....

I am beginning to run out of patience in this company. Where do you see a 10-minute short break and a 30 minute lunch?! And who cares about the !@$&ng queue? We deserve a break not to be immersed into calls taking care of idiotic American cuistomers. Then what the hell and there is a 30 minute mandatory overtime?! With the history of unpaid overtimes it is no wonder no one wanted to take overtime and it would have to be forced down on our throats.

If I didn't need the money I would've quit a long time ago. But I do. Yet it does not mean that I'm going to subject myself to abuse just to earn money. I can bear anything but I'm no saint. I can't stand martyrdom but I am becoming one. Is this a lesson I have to learn in my life?

What this company is doing is already what you call an abuse to basic human rights you know the right to take a 15 minute break (NOT 10 minutes), the right to choose NOT to do overtime by force or have payroll disputes every 15th of the month, have a reasonable schedule, a sane management team and a company that takes care of you, a human being, not a robot. If they needed a robot they would have not hired us.

Coach said that we should be grateful that we have jobs and a call center one. I am grateful yes but I don't owe Client Logic Philippines anything.

Not even my life.

after worrying about mike, i'm now worrying about you. fatigue can do a lot of things to people.

is being a worrywart part and parcel of being evil? it sounds contradictory but the truth is i'm constantly looking out for karma.

i hope you're doing ok. i mean, 10 minutes is hardly enough to down a Coke. don't they let you eat in front of the PC?
