Reasons Why
I will be writing down the reasons why i don't want to work at a BPO company and do article writing 'kay ? :)
Let's start with:
1.) Why not work at a BPO Company ?
ok, so as you all know (wel maybe some lol), i worked at the nicest BPO Company here in Davao City . Because of luck (HAH!), i was able to pass all the test together with the AT&T Wave 89 trainees and became a Technical Support Agent later on . i liked the job, i really did .. my supervisor was the most linient supervisor among all the supervisors of that department (of that certain company) , and not to mention the department i was in was the highest paid among all the departments there .
What happened was the pressure was too much . there were too many metrics to pass , which is really hard to achieve especially if you get irate customers ALL THE TIME . i get discouraged easily by people i like or look up to -- and that's wut happened . Also, my health was degrading . I mean, i kept having stomachaches and headaches , which was really unusual . and lastly, my house was too far away from work , and i had to wake up at 3AM in the morning, travel at 4AM -- and guess what ? THERE ARE NO JEEPNEYS at those times ._.
overall, it's really tiring :( i love the people there, they were really nice to me .. and my friend Kevin had a plan of forming a choir at work, and i'll be one of the members .
2.) Why not write articles ?
"I don't know how they get money from those . Their Marketing Strategy sucks" -- bf
yes, it really does . even me, while i was typing 500 worded articles, i kept thinking , this sucks . as if people will read this thing . well, maybe they do, but 500 worded articles is just too much . 300 would be fine . i used to write one before for my sister's friend, and it was just a 150 worded article . ok, i know , lame reason . let's get down to business xD
my employer wants me to install a computer remote access to my computer so that she'll be able to access it --- that's invasion of privacy . i kinda felt insulted cause i PASS THE ARTICLES ON TIME , and the video reports as well . she told me beforehand "contact me only when necessary" and after a few days "hey april . why aren't you contacting me as much as i expected you too" OMG you said when necessary and if i have questions, well, i DONT . IM NOT DUMB -- wanna see my grades ? dang (ok too much) .
i was thinking, ok fine . but then she sent me this list of things to do which includes MAKING A LAYOUT OF A CERTAIN WEBSITE -- i don't know how to ! i only know how to look for codes and copy paste . why does she want me to make a layout ? FGS !
im sorry . i vent out all my frustrations on this post . lol ..
no more computer related jobs for me puh-leasee . as what my friend Carla said (not exact) :
"i dont want a computer related job cause when i get home, i go online, stay infront of the computer for hours . it makes no difference . i'll just get bored . i want a job which i love ."
and also this guy i met during a dinner with a politician :
"when i was still in the corporate world, i was so busy , felt so tired . but when i worked for KAYA NATIN, it didn't feel like a job at all . i love what im doing."
ANYWAY, i wasn't actually thinking of stopping (school) . people wasn't expecting me as well (ofcourse noh) . but i did .. wasn't expecting for mom to approved too . i was really surprised .
