Was just watching The Call Centre on bbc3 interesting to see when making cold calls they have their phone calls listened in on them some spotty oik gives them a dressing down if they do it wrong and tells them how to do it properly.
Also some guy just got a bollocking for going to the toilet, sounds like a couple of threads on here where do these companies get off telling people how long to take for the toilet and how many times to go.
just wondering if you have ever watched ‘the office’ cus that call centre has sooo many similarities 
No i have never seen The Office.
I just found it surprising to see them having timed toilet breaks and being spied on.
Thought we were just the untrustworthy ones. Couldnt handle making cold calls to people all day long that would do me in.
Erm…it’s not real, it’s made up just like The Office.

I tried selling financial products Pensions & Saving Plans back in the early 90’s (around the time I got my class 1)
They made me sell to Friends & Family 1st, then they got me to Cold Call from old phone lists- by the 5th or 6th call after I had been told to ‘F’ Off on most of them, I phoned the Finance Company & told them to ‘F’ off !
Made more from Driving (honest work) than I ever could selling that ■■■■.
I think everybody is spied on these days.It’s the way of the world these days unfortunately.
Do not watch crap like that anyway.These spotty oiks as you call them should go and get a proper job if they are capable instead of pestering people day in day out.
Anything interesting to say?
