I Hate My Job And Need To Get A New One And I Hate My Life

Wednesday nights are always the calm before the storm. Thursdays are my Mondays. I always start feeling worse with my tremors on Wednesday nights because I just don’t want to face the next day. I work on phones, and the customers tend to be very nasty because they are calling for technical support. I am not meant to handle this much abuse, and would rather be working a less stressful job, but I’m lucky to have a job right now in these rough times.

Does your employer provide any resources to help make the interactions more tolerable?

They have suggestions, but sometimes the customers just want to be mean. @SW-User

@PoisonLace ugh. Hopefully you can find the right mindset so that the abusive words don’t land so hard on you.

It’s gotten a little easier since I started last July, but there are still the occasional customers that break me down. I end up having to take a break to cry, but my skin has gotten a little thicker. Hopefully this job doesn’t turn me too tough, but I’m glad I’m crying less. Guess that’s a win, but I still want out. @SW-User

@PoisonLace carrot, egg, coffee. When immersed in the harsh conditions of boiling water these three things react very differently. The carrot becomes softer and weaker. The egg becomes hardened. The ideal situation is to be the coffee, because the coffee transforms the water.
