They probably say the same thing about the service your company provide

Because they're paid peanuts and have quite bad working conditions, plus they have to deal with an awful lot of rude people on the phone which does put your call centre drone in a somewhat pissy and unhelpful mood.

Speaking from bitter experience here.

I heard they had to replace their phones with those headset things cos the people who work there were always belting the heads off each other with the receivers.

I think Charlie Bird did a piece on it back in the day. He uncovered a dark, sordid underworld that existed in the bowels of said organisation. After I saw his report I put in a job application but they turned me down saying I didn't have the right accent to work there.

Ooops I thought you were talking from the point of view of someone working in a call centre in which I unfortunately have experience in.

Speaking from the other side, It can be hard to be nice to the 150th person you've spoken to that day.

Eircom?

no, but they do have contracts with Eircom.

Uuuuuuugh, working in a call centre is the worst ever. I used to work in O2 back in the days when you were expected to deal with 99 calls a day. Kerry Katona rang once, and some dude who writes a music column in the Indo. He was nice. Getting fired from there was one of the happiest days of my life.

I worked in a call centre some years back and really enjoyed it; though i almost went postal after 12 months. still, up to that it was fine.

I take calls from people in the UK, by the way. I never knew my accent sounded like such gibberish to people.

it was very depressing to spend the whole day taking calls from people then going home to watch a show about working in a call centre but that's what I did

Urgghh I worked on the phones over there for about a year by the end I'd taken to making up different names for myself, cutting people off mid call and transferring calls to my mates mobiles when they asked for supervisors.
