"A stress-related job and bad dietary habits are a lethal combination, which makes this sector susceptible to lifestyle-related diseases like obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure"

Typical Help Desk characteristics (except the pay is lower).


Is this better than serving chutney Squishees at the Kwik-E-Mart?

Totally off-topic, but did you know that only about 1,000 people contribute to keep Free Republic up and running? That is out of over 100,000 registered users on this site.

"What would you do Without FR?

How would You Feel without FR?

Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasn’t there?

Where would you get your up to the minute news? How about the live threads as things are happening?

How would you know about the latest Demorat scams, anti-second amendment schemes and all the other liberal, anti-American ploys that are tried every single day?

Insight into world affairs, brilliant wit, sharp retorts, instant information gratification are a few of the things that make FR so vital.

How would you keep on top of things without FR?

How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?

How would you be part of a Freep?

What would you do without FR????

Freedom isn’t free.

Gee, my sympathy over their boring work conditions was tempered by the unemployed condition of the Americans whose jobs they filled. Can't meet with his buddies because he works graveyard? Please.

Most call center employees assume American-sounding names and carefully hide their location and true identities.

Lol, yesterday I had a telemarketer call me.

He said his name was Robert Johnson, funny thing though, he sounded just like Apu. I said, "Robert Johnson, huh?" and hung up on him.

"Social life is nil in such a job, as you spend 10 to 12 hours at the office at nights and then spend the rest of the day sleeping while others around you are active,"

US workers work longer hours and more days than any other nation. When some country wonders why it can't get out of the third world, it might consider working their asses off.

Call centers and remote services such as accounting and payroll processing mainly serve U.S.-based clients nearly halfway around the world.

Now there's a comforting thought. Someone in Bangalore, India is preparing your paycheck. So he has your social security number and your tax information.

He has everything he needs to sell your identity to criminals. He's not paid very well, which is why he has the job in the first place.

How long before you suddenly find a lot of purchases have been made overseas on a credit card that supposedly belongs to you?
