They BARELY trained me, and on the second day they stuck me in their Spanish-language outbound call queue, and when I told them very emphatically that I don't speak Spanish, they said "it doesn't matter, we're cancelling their service anyway so it doesn't matter if they don't understand you". So I was basically expected to call people whose language I didn't speak and tell them we were cancelling their cable service due to delinquent payment. It was a nightmare.
I started fantasizing about killing myself on the drive home, so I called the temp firm that placed me there and was like "yeah I'm not doing this anymore" as soon as I got back to my house.
That temp agency never offered me another job after that, but oh well.
Oooo, fantasizing about killing himself after working for a day at a call center. Noted for Comediansmasher lore.
