do you get to smoke, drink, and get high while you work? i'm drinking a beer and watching the US open as i do my transplants.

Well, no, that's one perk you have that I don't. Although I do eat an edible muffin at 3:00 every afternoon at work. Not much worth mentioning, I know.

When you and your good wife were dating, did she pay for all the dates like she's paying for the marriage now?

we split everything down the middle now. i paid for dates back then.

you're a loser and my labor is worth more by the hour than yours.

Oh no. Crossing into that "do not enter" territory of talking wives...

Well, care for a threesome to find out? I'd love it, and maybe she would too.

no, i do not do threesomes with racists.

but we all know your wife would prefer a fit, taut, virile young man like me over some decrepit out of shape fart like you (who has to take testoterone to boot, lol).

post a pic of your wife.

and wal-mart doesn't?

so, everyone knows i've been looking for actively since april 1..if this is news..i have. for your consideration, i cannot find what i want..i'm a 6-figure+++..i heard about all these jobs out there..well let me tell you..if you're 21, maybe..absolutely no sense of urgency..i don't want to work for a company that doesn't have this..diversity?..same thing.

so after conversation with my mentor @UncleBuck..i decided to give it a whirl and here's my experience:

i made an appointment directly since i knew one of the centers is located 5 minutes away rather than submit resume or application.

i was able to contact an hr person direct who when i told her about my skills, was genuinely warm and indicated 'trainings' begin again shortly..gave me an appointment with clear instructions followed by an email.

this was actually the very first place i encountered a streamlined, clear process..fortune 500's, hiring managers are a waste of fucking space:

The Peter Principle is a concept in management theory formulated by Laurence J. Peter in which the selection of a candidate for a position is based on the candidate's performance in their current role, rather than on abilities relevant to the intended role. Thus, employees only stop being promoted once they can no longer perform effectively, and "managers rise to the level of their incompetence."

i've had phone interviews where these managers stood me up, late to the call..never followed through as indicated..and they would want me to consider working for them? again, these are fortune 500's.

i go to the hr where there are people that both walk-in or have appointment..everyone there was nice enough.

i was the only white person in the room..they had a infomercial of their company..how most vp's and ceo started off at this company as an agent, along with statistical information..nice to know.

i was there for a total of 5 hours (2 interviews, typing test 44/0 wpm and hr processing) and walked out as hired..pending successful drug and background.

i found this to be interesting (and impressive) because they have perfected mass hiring in the following ways:

  1. those who didn't make it past the typing test (for interview) were encouraged to go home and practice then reapply after 48 hours (i think)..there was a brother behind me who didn't make the cut (25/0 wpm) that they had advised and were very nice about it..they didn't make him feel bad about himself at all. nice touch:clap:he is a person and has feelings.
  2. a direction..no waiting; wondering..the company saved money by streamlining the processes into one.
  3. i was given folder with clear bullet pointed information highlighting each step of drug, background and schedule paid training and direct deposit info with the dates of my checks.
  4. my training will start 2 days before the eom and will give me 2 days of pay the following week (they are creating identity for me) validating me as a person right from the beginning, this is not by chance. for many who have not one single cent in their pocket, this is huge..something to hold on to.
  5. benefits after 60 days for full-time..and it's a full suite of benefits not just health..401k, fsa, hsa etc. part-time has the option of joining the group, but of course no ER contributions. vacation after one year.
  6. you may post for a new position after 90 days..and they have plenty..but since i never had call center, i had to start at the bottom $10.50/hour so that's $3.25 more than minimum..was told by one of the floor supervisors, OT there is where to make the cash and they always have plenty..
  7. drug test email.. again clear timely information..i was able to have them scan right from my cell at a location 5 minutes down the road. very convenient.

as very different tale; of two very different companies; both employing from the same pool.

it seems as if one of the above companies knows what their most prized resource is: its employees.

Have you ever worked in a call center before?

I think you found the hook was well baited.

Let's see how your experience turns out. Because call centers are turnover treadmills generally.

So the "six-figure" economic powerhouse is getting a job (maybe) for $10.50/hr? I should commend you for getting off your ass and making an attempt to be a contributing member of society. But I won't. I'm a dick that way. Seriously...congratulations!

Buck, my wife is sitting right here, and she's laughing. She's actually thinking about giving you a chance.

She wants to know though: did the rabbi mouth your penis?
