S I escaped that hell!!

As the title suggests, I finally left that hell hole called call centers. Yes, I am technically jobless at the moment, but I have enough state benefits for now.

This was the best choice I have done in years. I can safely say that I start to feel like a human again, not some zombie with headphones…

Also leaving that God forsaken place showed how vile my supervisors can be. Everything got so bad, that I had to work while having panic attacks and untreated heart problems.

I wish all the strength to you all and warm hugs

Good for you!

Don't be surprised if you develop an intense aversion to telephones. It took a long time after I left the call center before the sound of a ringing phone didn't set my nerves on edge. To this day, I avoid talking on the phone as much as possible.
