Personal Insights
Day-to-Day
I call people up in America and ask how they felt their service went. I code the answers to the questions, I read the answer and put a number next to it.
Best Day
When the system crashed and I got paid to sit around and not do anything.
Worst Day
I am not on a contract so they can cancel my booking if they want. Sometimes I don’t get paid much.
What I Dislike
As I am not on a contract I don’t have many rights, like using the front door! On certain desks I’m not allowed to have drinks on which is pretty crap especially if you are thirsty. I also have to ruin people’s day by calling them up. People are sometimes really rude to me.
Perks
They are flexible so if I can’t be bothered to work then I just don’t go in.
