Thingamajig

I went to the mall kanina with my cousin Edward. I was really intrigued kasi by the thingamajig. So I bought one for myself. Katuwa naman my new gadget, it's like a gameboy console with a built-in messenger, browser and fone na. I also bought na rin an extra mittens, an Immortelle skin moisturizer and a couple of shirts which I got for only $15 each lang! Money well spent na naman for me.

Tapos yun na nga diba, when we got home pa, my Tita Mitchy and Ate Sonia were talking about the 40 Year Old Virgin. It was a funnny movie daw but I haven't got the chance to watch it back sa pinas because I was too busy with the family business.

Those two were really mean kaya. Unlike me, I am just writing how I feel, e sila, they are sharing experiences pa! They are giving some variations on that fabulously nasty telemarketer hangup speech daw sa movie. I gotta see that one.

See, Tita Mitchy even told me na almost 75% daw of americans are kinda annoyed sa callcenter peeps. Here's the thing daw kasi: Callcenter agents daw are required to keep yapping. Always. Those are the rules. They are simply not allowed to shut up, (Yeah, why don't they just shut up na lang kaya?!) except maybe four or five steps into a long script of fallback positions. And according to her, hanging up is necessary. Both parties knew it na daw. Therefore: not rude at all. Sabi ko na lang to my tita, "It's ok lang tita mitch, they are earning naman big bucks daw for yapping eh." Like in their dreams pare.

Now, I'm really curious na and enthralled pa. Probably tomorrow, I'll just check na lang if my cousin have downloaded the full flick in his computer and I will give my review.

Maybe later na lang the other happenings. Paglaruan ko muna my new toy. And besides, this is my final rest day kaya, tapos tomorrow will be uber busy na following my vacation itenerary. And to all the orcs who thinks na this is just another crappy dicklit. Talk to the pwet w'lyah?

This is nothing all but pieces of shits. What's with you, you coniotic son of a rich parents? We are not doing anything to you so why see us as little people? I am a working parent myself and my work as a callcenter agent is perfectly legal. I don't look down to anyone. If i'll get the chance to see you in person, i'll have you kick in the butt and be sorry. Good riddance!

if not because of the call center industry, just imagine how many unemployed people we'll have today, not to mention how the economy would be. there's nothing wrong being an agent, but if you have been an agent longer that one can imagine, then that's where something is wrong. these people start their way from bottom all the way to become more of being an agent. so i say it's like working in any other corporate office in the country.

sa mga callcenter peeps, you don't know how stupid and annoying you sound on the phone when you say what the company asks you to say (standard verbage) instead of directly responding to the customer. you sound like robots or circus monkeys when you do that. you waste the customer's time saying crap they don't care about. the worst one is answering the customer's question with another question. so rude.

Tama. haha. I really hate when I had to ask the customer if I've addressed all his concerns even though I knew I wasn't of any help. It's really stupid. But I had to ask. All calls are being recorded. You just never know if your supervisor is listening in on your call.

I worked for about three months. It just wasn't for me. :)

guys ano b kayo, cant you get it? kabulaanan lamang ito! hindi nyo b napunang ni-reset ni cofibean yung comments field nya into anyone can post their comment, last time i checked it kase puro users na lng ang ina-allow nyang mag comment, but since and konti ng natatanggap nyang replies, ibinalik nya sa dati, wherein everybody can leave him a message. See its Satire! Sinasayang lang natin time natin sa kakapost ng comments. Just enjoy na lang what is written. Anyway, hindi naman totoo yung mga sinasabi nya di b? besides, hindi lang nmn mga squatter ang nsa call center, may mga mayayaman din, as a matter of fact almost 80 percent came from mayayayamans gaya ni cofibean. Lahat tayo puro pasaway kung tutuusin sa Pilipinas, at yun ang totoo. Kaya imbes na pagtuunan ng pansin ang blog na ito mas marapatin nating pag isipan kung papaanong mapapaunlad ang bansa natin. Kung yan ang paraan ni cofibean, hayaan nyo sya. Gawin nyo na lang inspirasyon, Always look find good in every negative things you hear or read from this blog. Remember, it takes a real intelligent to understand the hidden message of any written work before you react to it.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
Mabuhay ang mga taga call center na tumutulong sa pagsalba sa ekonomiya ng Pilipinas!
Mabuhay si cofibean na nagsisilbing inspirasyon sa maraming matatalinong mahihirap na hindi sila kaawa awa pagdating sa pag intindi sa isang taong mangmang sa karanasan ng kahirapan!

Mabuhay tayong lahat.

hoy TSR, depende sa account yun. may account na maraming BS spiels like disclaimer, verification ek ek ek, tapos may checklist pa na dapat gawin/sabihin ng agent kahit hindi related sa transaction. how bobo is that?

tawag ka sa isang int'l comm'l courier isang beses at tanungin mo magkano magpadala sa X destination. sasagutin ka ng isa pang tanong. how bobo is that?

meron pang isa pang bobo transaction, ibababa mo na ang phone tapos hihirit pa yung agent, bibigyan ka ng summary ng details ng transaction nyo kahit malinaw na yung usapan nyo. shet. why are they required to say that for quality assurance purposes daw? fucking makes the transaction painful.

mabuti pa yung kumausap ka na lang ng actual na tao sa tanggapan na mismo. mabilis, malinaw, to the point.

Anonymous said...

and for that matter, not all agents are stupid enough to follow standard verbage, stupid policies, kasi hindi na nila kelangan ng script coz they know what they're doing. as for the rest, shet, they have to trust their IQs more than their training manuals. kung magsalita kasi parang may sinusunod nga na script or outline at parang hindi nakikinig sa yo.

Standard Verbage, if that's how you term it, is necessary because this is a professional industry. We're not plainly chatting with customers kea we can't just say these things as to how we want it said. Xguro there are times na there are monotonous slips which is kinda icky coz one can sound irritating, but that doesn't give you, whoever, whatever, the comfort of calling us circus monkeys. If you state that we're blabbering bout crap that customers couldn't care less about, well... if it's crap for you, it's necessary for us, and we accept the fact that some incompetent minds cannot absorb that. Lastly, when you stated "the worst one is answering the customer's question with another question. so rude", well, throwing back a question to the caller when they drop an inquiry is called, probing, to come up with a relevant and helpful answer to give em. You let the orc finish up kasi before you conclude na its the way they address your query no... so bobo ha...

Anonymous said...

yeah you right about that..probing question.. :D

Anonymous said...

see? you don't even have common courtesy of answering the question first. di nyo nagets? to simplify for your benefit:

customer: how much will it cost to send 3 kg to X destination?
robo-agent: what will you be sending? --> very rude.

good agent: we have different rates for documents and non-documents. may i know what you're sending so i can give you an estimate? --> yan ang taong kausap.

and you don't know how many orcs are talking like robots. and you prolly don't know how many orcs ask the same questions again and again. like, didn't i tell you i'm sending CDs nga? are you listening ba??? and for fuck's sake i don't have all day so keep your answers as simple as my question.

orcs don't have to put up with things they say, it's the customers. so cofibean is your karma. he's making you put up with the crap he says about you.

then dnt fuckin call cust serv, tech supp, or any call center for that matter... dork!

Anonymous said...

idiot. then companies should have an online order system and put you out of the job. never called tech support so i don't know how competent those agents are. for that matter if PCs running Windows were built like Macs, these agents would of out of the job too. it's incidentally funny that their livelihood is supported by someone else's incompetence.

maybe companies should have an online rating system for customers to rate calls so we can raise red flags on bad calls and they can review it.

there was about one agent who did his job neatly and i asked for the supervisor to commend the guy. i told her what stuff he did right compared to the "robo-agents", hoping she would brief all her other agents into doing the same. but sometimes i still get those fresh off the boat ones. they're petty annoyances but to be fair, they probably were not trained properly. but what does that say about people who need to be trained just to work like they got common sense? ... "circus monkeys"
