True Story:

I just got "coached" on one of my calls. I had to have a meeting with a supervisor about my lack of customer service skills. The guy repeatedly said over and over and over again that he was stupid, a moron, and couldn't understand. And I didn't agree with him. Come on. It's fundamentally wrong for me to disagree with a customer who says that. I mean, I encourage that kinda thinking... makes it easier for me to manipulate.. I mean help the customer. It's not like it's my fault that he actually took me serious when I told him to put the paper clip in the hole that says 120V. Besides, electrocution is a perfectly viable troubleshooting step, and if they don't call back I consider it a solved case. Some people. I actually used the line on this EXTREMELY stupid lady that her computer is broke because of magnetic distortions cause by solar radiation. Dumb Asses. Don't thank me, it's my job.

I hate being monitored. I used to have customer service skills....until I started technical support. I don't need to be coached on my calls. REALLY. It's the customers who need the goddamn coaching!!

Monitored?!?

I once made a customer cry, boy did I feel good about that, really bad day. Then she hung up and my phone rang....

dun-dun-DUUUUN!!!!

Robert we need to talk about that call, MEEP!
Good news is I still scored a 4.3 out of 5, just a slap on the wrist for making her cry
