would you do things that force you and your not happy?

Yes I would probably do things even though I am not happy about it because I do not always consider myself in making every decision. There are other considerations like my family, my husband and my beliefs. As for the case of your co agent trainee, I would suggest that, if she does not have other means to support her education other than being a trainee, she should continue with attending the training whether she likes it or not. I sometimes call it sacrifice. You do things that you do not like that could help you in some other ways. Yes of course, it is important that you like what you are doing especially your job because you cannot be that efficient if you are unhappy about it. But for her case, if she really needs money why not think about the resignation again. I do not know how long that training would take but if this can help her support her education, I think she should give herself more time to think. I really think that it is better than to lend money for her education.

Since she won't be working/training for a long time, I would advise her to continue the training. If she stops working, she will not be able to go back to school which will be even more stressful.

I do not know. If there are other jobs easily available, she should look for one.Or she should tell herself that if she still wants to quit she can do so after she pays for her enrollment. You can put up with almost anything if there is a time limit to it.

well I spent many years working in call centers, some people cannot do it, it is a very stressful job. I would finish the training and see go on the floor and see how it is. As you say it might be best to wait until they fire her so she can get her money faster.

Call center job are the easiest job in the market, you only need to do calling, no paperwork, but make sure you close a sale, to do that you have to have the skill of selling, maybe your friend is pressured by the manager, so she felt unhappy, if she want to try another job that is also part time, why don't you suggest her to go for it. I believe when there is a will, there is a way.

Even though she hates it she needs this job so suck it up and just get it over and done with. Once she has the paycheck she can leave and never come back. In this economy we can't all be picky about what we want to do that will bring in enough income to survive off. The money will be used for education which can help her find a better job.

Dear friend, I feel most of the people my place go to study and work only to have a better living. At times there children those not matured enough to know why their elders are forcing to do things, but those well wishers what to see them well in life. But there are people who break all this and with their confidence and talent they come up what they like to do. But money do become a constraint most times. I feel may we have to be well settled in life, but it is confident of becoming better in life on what one find happiness then it is well and good and hope that person would be one among those lucky individuals in the world...all the best to both of you...

hi lynboobsy I would advise her to take another hard look at the training and at the future of her education , then take a deep breath suck it in a bit, decide you can be happy with the training as its going to help uou pay for your education. we all find we have to change our minds and embrace that which we had really felt unhappy with. could be as she progresses in her training she will become more contented with it,even like it. my opinion of co urse.

That is just wrong! Here in the US we'd get paid for the training even if that is all we did, atleast I'm certain we would? after all we were helping the company in a way. I'd advise her to take a deep breath and get through it. After it's done she may realize it's not as bad as she initially thought and that it will only get easier. She doesn't want to lose time, money and effort, and she needs it for her furthering of education as well.

The best advice that I would be able to give someone that is in a situation like the girl that you are talking about is to go ahead and get through the training and give the job a couple of weeks when you are working on your own to see how the job really goes for you. The reason that I would do that is because of the fact that I find that for most jobs, the training period is horrible, but once you are able to start working on your own things tend to get better.

This, to me is simple. She needs the money. I would advise her to stay the course. She has just begun, from what I have read. She hasn't given herself time to adjust to the new job. She is a trainee! If she just quits and goes somewhere else, she may not find a job so easily. I would ask her how bad she needs the money for her education? How bad does she want it? does she want it bad enough to work at a job she doesn't love? or even like? We are grownups. We can't always have jobs we like. We earn our money and live our lives. We don't have to be happy with the job.. it's more important to choose to tolerate the job and love her life.

Hey there lyn, I say to you my friend leave a place that does not make you happy will just really make you miserable and would not really help you get motivated to get better so why settle right, i mean you will not be productive anyway so just leave assess yourself and i mean herself and then try to get a new Job.

Hi lyn, I think she should atleast finish the training. Maybe she will like it later. She needs money for her studies next semester, so she should finish it.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, it is really hard to do a job without our interest, as you mentioned she need money for her studies, and she don't get anything if she resigned her job. Really it is a tough situation, she is in need to continue her training for her study purpose, just tell your friend to compromise with the situation.

I think call center jobs are jobs that pays a good. I am also doing a job like call center, but entirely different known as medical transcription where we need to type the doctor's dictation into text. I would suggest your friend to stick to the job and try to stay on the job as far as possible since she needed money. I think most probably your friend needs to give it a try to meet the target or the sales rather than giving up early. Hope she reaches the target.

I have had to do many jobs that didn't make me happy, but i kept my goals in mind and found a way to make the job better. It is a choice, but I have found that like many choices in life, it's the goal that is important. Right now jobs are not easy to find and yet we still need to eat, a place to live and other necessary expenses. Good Luck

In your friend's situation I would probably continue even though it wasn't my dream job, because I would be worried that I wouldn't manage to get the money that I needed for my education if I quit. Of course it is not nice to stay in a place where you are unhappy and where the work is stressful, but I think that it would be best to stay and make sure that she gets the money that she needs for education. If there are other job opportunities in your area, she could check those place and try to find out if it is would be possible to earn the money that she needs in a different way, but I wouldn't leave the current job in the call center unless I was absolutely sure that I would be able to earn the money that I needed in a different way.

Well, if she don't have any choice maybe she should give it few days more. But, if she has other option like look for another company then I guess that is better. Besides, why not look for a company that has reliable name to work with and not with company that I guess do not comply with DLE rules and requirements( as I have read your other topic) The company looks unfair and not reliable one.. There's a lot of call center companies that offers a fair salary even if you are under trainee... check the net for those companies :)

Please tell her to look for other jobs...

yes very good post i think we always do such thing which force us and makes us un happy these things are part of aur life we do not leave these things for surviving life.
