*warning.....profanity alert......use of the f word here and there*
....i have been doing awesome on this telephone survey stuff. i really enjoy it and am doing really well, too. in fact, this evening i had a wicked 11.XX% flow rate when the centre average was only at 6.45%. can you say burning up the phone lines? and good, asking all the questions verbatim, matching pace with respondents, all those good things. so i am happy with stats. they drive me to do better. so i thought i should ask (because i do not recall any of this being mentioned previously) are there monetary incentives for such productive agents? my answer was, "no, we do not offer bonuses because it invites poor quality, cheating and poor performance". um, sure , if you say so. so i ask, is the incentive then to be offered the hours requested and have them fulfilled? "yes, generally, when things get slow, the top performers will be rewarded by getting the hours over someone who is not performing as well". my shift was supposed to be a 6 hr shift. i was told i was done in three. (sadness). doubling the centre average in call flow stats was not high enough to get me my hours i scheduled? ok, i get that there was an issue with the sample this evening, and was told that this does not occur regularly ( i hope not).
ok, so i think, fooey, no incentive, that really sucks, especially since i have been working really hard to have the conversion that is asked for (and have only been on the phones a little over a week), most improved newbie? keaner? whtvr, i think to myself, i still like it. at least there will be benefits in a few months because i am an employee, not a contractor. ....
nope. no benefits either. fuck me. why not, i ask? am i not a full time employee based on 36 hr a week? oh no, i am told, because the hours are not 'guaranteed' the proper name for you is part time, and as such, are not eligible for benefits, sorry for the misunderstanding. well fuckity fuck.
so you see my dilemma here. as i said, i like the job, i can do it from the comfy of my home--awesome. the pay is not as much as i am used to making, i get no benefits, not guaranteed hours, AND no bonus structure! *sadness*.
k didn't need to hear all about this either. she is getting VERY discouraged with her job search in medical transcription. she worked so hard in that course, and in the course before that, but alas, no one wants to take a chance on her. i don't get that. i mean, shouldn't people who work hard, do their best, and make good marks be at least offered a chance at a new career? WTF is this world coming to, anyway? oh, i know, it has always been this way. hells bells, can you say pissed off?
and in true poet fashion, when i am pissed off, here i sit and type out my frustration. so then i think , hey lets add to the mood, and check my Hits4Pay account. OMG, who ever makes money online on this shit. since becoming a member (february 2006) i have made.......drum roll please...........$11.04 !! OMFG. add to that the three dollars i have on Tone-A-Day and we could go out for supper, well, no , one of us could go, but we'd have to walk, on account of the price of gas. fuck. no one clicks those google adsense ads, or amazon associate or affiliate ads either. why did i do that again? i mean really, poet! they just mess up your 'look' here. there is no money to be made online. unless you make up some shit, then get naive people to click and buy. fuck. referral links.....oh shit man, there is another one. you get traffic, yeah and reviews, fabulous. near as i can see, all i am getting is a shit load more spam in my inbox. WTF??? i will keep my blog (stalking) roll on my side bar, along with the networked blog thing, and google friend thing, because i am THAT important. the rest of the so called pay per click shit.............history. fuck off.
kindly do click the animal rescue link at the bottom of the page though. after all, its for the animals, and i receive no compensation for linking it to my page. rant over. good night~
