Training.
I forgot how bad training made me want to stab myself... a long boring 9 weeks.
...
9 weeks!!! what company?
...
So after 9 weeks you will literally know everything about cell phones. Heck you can pick up almost everything in about a week.
They paying you for being there? I'd say your banking.
...
Yes, I'm "banking", i guess you can say. The reason why it's taking 9 week is because they teach you absolutely everything about everything
"Don't worry about most the material we go over because most of it doesn't pertain to you."
Teaching us everything that is not relevant to the job. Makes sense. I'm sure if you cut out all of it, training would take 4-5 days.

Where are you located?
...
and that 1st call after training makes those 9 weeks disappear
Thank you for calling......(mute) Hey Where are we?
My Name is ...um....looks at name tag..reads it wrong upside down..How can I help you?
Customer: what kind of name is that!?

This is what my trainer called the "windshield wiper effect." Everything just goes blank when you get that first call. ๐คฃ

When I did outbound sales for AT&T, this one girls first call, she was reading the script which in print read like this; Hello my name is (Your Name)....... Well she read it verbatum. Hello my name is your name ๐ฒ I almost fell out of my chair. LMFAO!! ๐คฃ

9 weeks of getting paid without doing anything..! ๐ ๐ but 9 weeks..??? ๐ isn't that long..? ๐คจ
...
I'd use that time to get a good job. Its like getting paid to search.
I'm putting together jobs that have long training, I'm just going to hop from job to job during training periods. The first one is Doctor, that will take up 12 years, then lawyer, then call center and finally retire ๐
...
training? if you're in a call center? wait till you get out of training...you'll wish you were back ๐คฃ
...
that's right... ๐ ๐ ๐
