My last job I quit because it did my head in. I worked
for a debt management company. It was there that I worked on phones calling
people up during the day. It was pretty much cold calling and people hated me,
but I didn’t exactly like it either. My job was to help people with their debt,
so if people had credit cards and loans they were struggling with, I put them
through to other companies who would help them pay them off. It was quite
intense, having to talk to people about their debt everyday was a bit heavy.
But then we moved onto payment protection insurance.
I called people up who were eligible to claim back money from their banks, and
then again put them through to companies who were able to do that for them. I worked
there for a year and a half until I eventually had enough. All day every day I got
people swearing at me, some even telling me to get cancer and die. I completely
understand that me calling them was annoying, but it was my job and I didn’t
really appreciate being called a c**t and told to die.
I also stopped getting on with the people I worked
with. My boss began to get on my nerves, he would pull me into the office by
myself, pressuring me to work extra hours. I always felt intimidated so felt like
I had to. I also worked with two boys around my age, and with them I felt like I
was back at school, they annoyed the hell out of me. I hardly ever got any pay
slips either and in the end I’d just had enough.
So I just quit. I finished work one Thursday and the
following Monday I told my boss I wasn’t going back. It felt good and I’m glad I
did it. Though I have missed having a job. But now finally I have one. I can
finally learn to drive, buy clothes again and I might even get a tattoo.
