I'm a customer service clerk-we're poorly paid sub professionals-my coworkers are rude the bosses just want you to hurry up and get the people out of there-the standards are low and it's kind of depressing but I've developed these coping skills and maintain my own high standards despite my environment.
The nice thing is everybody leaves me alone-I wonder if I'm too spoiled to work in an environment where the boss actually watches you.I'm almost 50 and while I don't mind taking meaningful orders more and more the stuff you get from younger people seems silly and superficial.
If we ever get a management team that's serious they would eventually see that I'm good at what I do but I don't come off like a pro and I don't want to-I dont like those guys.
I'm not crisp.I make a lot of mistakes but I catch them I talk and joke with the customers-some stupid Yankee or Dallasan (worse) is bound to come in and get mad because I managed to make my clients feel like human beings-they've tried before...
I'm just whining...
