Member-only story
I loved working at a call center!
It was a friggin’ blast! I’m not friggin’ joking! No friggin’ joke!
Sorry for the friggin’ “F” word. So let’s play! Round #! … My first time was selling timeshares. It was an obvious rip-off. I quit after 4 days.
Round #2 was at the Fifth Third bank call center.
I had so much fun!
For starters, on day one of training, we all got a Fifth Third credit card with a 300 limit. They had me at hello!
Our job was to answer calls from bank customers. Sounds boring, right? But had awesome people around me.
Joe sat across from me and we had a completion. Headsets on, we would go head to head as to who could do the most high-quality calls each hour.
He was brilliant, for real! We kicked some serious ass!
I used to bring candy to work and put it on my desk with a sign saying, “Help yourself. Take some.”
