They've called already!

...but I missed it. Boohoo. I got 3 missed calls from the company I'm telling you here. I left my phone inside my locker and when I checked it during my lunch break, I saw that I got some missed calls. I saw that the first call was made 10:32am, the second call was made 10:40am and the last one was made 10:57am. Guess what time I went down our building to have my lunch break? 11:05am! My gawd, is this a sign that I'm really not for that company? Huhuhu.

Should I?

I'm working in one of the call centers in Clark for almost 7 years. Loyal? I don't think so. I've been with the company because my friends are there. The work is A-ok. The salary's not bad.

Since I graduated from college, I applied in our company without knowing what's in it for me. I really don't know what kind of job I'm entering to. I just went out with my college friends telling me that we're going to apply in this company where the compensation is great. So I said, Okay.

Way back 2001, whenever someone asks me where I work, I always say our company's name. And when I'm asked what nature of work do I have? I say call center. That's where I always see their puzzled face. Asking me again "ano ulit ang work mo?", that's the time I say "telephone operator po"... Funny but true. That time, people doesn't understand & know what a call center is not until around 2003.

And now, there's this newest call center in Clark. Some of my friends applied and got transfered there already. Compensation and benefits are great as well as the salary. Very, very enticing. As for me, I'm thinking whether to try my luck there or not. But there's this thing inside me that makes me sad leaving my current company. Maybe because I've been with them for a long time and it became my comfort zone already. Maybe it's time for me to spread my wings and leave my so-called second home.

As what they say:

Midnight coffees. Birthday pizzas. Accentuated english. Dashing clothes. Irate customers. So much money, so little time. Late night parties. Sunrise beers. Crush on coaches. Fight for appraisals. Die hard friendships. Tears for love. Nothing missing, just everything. People call it CALL CENTERs. We call it "LIFE".

What we call LIFE...

Midnight coffees, birthday pizzas, accentuated english, dashing clothes, irrate customers... so much money, so little time. Late night parties, sunrise beers, crush on coaches, fight for appraisals, die-hard friendships, tears for love. Nothing missing, just everything. People call it CALL CENTERS... We call it LIFE. Live with it!
