Does anyone work in a call center or in customer service too?

Are we entitled to any rights at all?

I work in a call center answering general enquiries, and my manager wants us to "be professional" by allowing customer to scold us, yell at us, curse, threaten, they can basically say anything to us and we just have to accept it.

A customer used tons of profanities on me, i'm have to tolerate 'cos if i interrupt, try to explain or stop him then i'll be blamed by my manager for being "unprofessional" by disrupting the customer. Then the customer starting cursing at my parents!!! I kept my cool n firmly told her "please do not say that about my parents" n she YELL at the top of her voice "HOW DARE YOU BE SO RUDE TO ME, I'M A CUSTOMER, YOU STUPID!!! YOU ARE SO STUPID!!

One of my collegue was told "WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE YOU'RE COMPLETE USELESS "...!!! I mean.. we're people too, i do understand in customer service we deal with difficult people but isn't there a bottom line?

I was a worker at a coffee company. i had only been on the job with the public for a couple weeks. The 2 owners got on me about doing things a certain way. One girl was late one day because she was sick so they wrote her up even after she told them. One morning, my alarm didn't go off so i was late for work. They had me work 8 hours then afterwards told me I was fired. I got ahold of the corporate headquarters via email and he apparently told them what I told him.The owner came in to my work while i was working and negatively confronted me about it. I couldn't tell her anything nasty because she could have gone over to customer service and complained that i was very rude.
so i was thinking about emailing the guy at headquarters again and telling him what she did tonight. would that be a good idea or what do i do? I don't want to feel like i've let them won. But i couldn't really be assertive without sounding aggressive, but my work is important to me. i didnt want to jeopardize my jo

Ok i am new at this job not even 90 days yet. One person on my team left and she sat by the window. I asked for it and my boss said as long as no one with more senoirty ask you can have it The window seat is only for our team and no one wanted it because they would have to change extensions and it would cause problems with clients. Well i got it. Now a few people on my team are acting jelous but they did not ask for it and they have all been there years and knew they could. Also people on other teams are acting funny. Aparently it takes along time to get a window sometimes and i got one in less than 90 days. Will this just pass?

Also I already work for this company and know a great deal about the new position i am applying for, so I probably will not have many questions to ask; is it OK if pay rate is the only question I have?

I don't know what to believe anymore about the economy, you read one thing and then something totally contradictory the next.
Is our economy stable enough yet to where Americans would invest in more nice little vacations? Or is the real question due to many peoples distrust due to potential terroism?

My coworker and I got into a huge screaming match at work. She has been affecting everyone with her negative attitude about the workplace and other coworkers for over a year. Finally, today, she pushed too hard and I went off on her. I told her everything I had been feeling for a long time. You know how after an arguement you think about what you should have said? Well I don't even feel that because I said everything. I don't feel bad about what I said, I just know I'm going to feel bad that I lost my cool. Any advice on how I should handle myself now that I probably made myself look like I'm crazy.

My work is having a "mandatory" employee meeting this Sunday, that I have no intention of attending. I have been to several of these meetings and there is always a lot of bitching with nothing really being resolved or acomplished. I left my boss a not letting him know that I would not be attending because I would be out of town. I am now expecting him to call me. Why can I say I am leaving town? (It must sound important and believable!)
