Oh yeah, you read that right!!It's a very nice for us. Since it's halloween we don't get a lot of calls and we still get to pay double because Nov. 1 is a regular holiday here in the Philippines.

We even have time to chat with each other or even walk away from our phones to get something. As for me, I found some time to post here!! Hehe... I need to go to the cemetery after work though but it's ok, I'm just thankful that I'm not in the morning shift because I have time for lots of things.

Anybody who here who is in a similar situation? Please share!! happy

I am retired and my time is my own. I enjoy the night time when there aren't alot of people about and I can get so much done. It is so quiet I can concentrate, research without interuption and multi-task as I enjoy doing several things at onece. There are some limitations but not many.

count me in yuna.

i actually work the day shift now but the call center i'm working for serves the overnight north american and canadian clients so calls have been sparsed to say the least. it alos helps that we are looking full force so calls get distributed fairly even.

gotta love the holidays we have here in the philippines. lol!

my canadian boss swears he hasn't experienced as much holidays except here in the philippines. he seems to be enjoying it though.

cheers!!!

Hi allen! Nice to see you again!! mygizmoz is dead angry.

Anyway, If I remember it correctly, you are a supervisor right? Did you change jobs already?


myLot reputation of 93/100. allen0187 (1568)   ranked 330 out of 2,801 in work  1 month ago

hi yuna.

yeah i was a supervisor then. that company closed down and let us go with a very good seperation pay. was unemployed for a bout 5 months becuse i was being picky and just didn't want to join the call center bandwagon. finally, relented and joined one december last year but didn't really start until january this year. stayed there for 8 months. totally re-affirmed my beliefs and opened up my eyes to new things about call center agents, both positive and negative mind you. got a call from my previous work thta they are re-opening again and was asked to show up and join them as a supervisor again. they mentioned that i'll be getting the same pay and basically doing less work. didn't really thought about it and signed up with them again. was about to sign my job offer but then i saw that they will be hiring me as a senior cashier instead of a supervisor and will be assigned in one of the outlets and not in the office. was kinda disappointed but didn't really mattered as i was set to come back and so were my previous officemates. out of nowhere got a call from another company in the same industry. only difference is this one is an international one with other offices based in the states, canada, and south america. signed up in a heartbeat and definitely liking this one that my previous company.

oh yeah, mygizmoz is down. got one payout from them and back then i figured with the changes, the business program they hae won't hold for long. the site was always down and wasn't getting any ads. wish i was wrong but proved to be rght.

cheers!!!

by the way, read through your discussion and found out you're still doing ptcs. i hope you don't mind sending me a message as to the ptcs that have been paying you. gave up on ptcs a long time ago but as long as these ptcs are paying, i don't mind giving it another try. got lots of free time with my new work and been looking for ways to spend my free time more productively. i'll certainly be signing up under you with these ptcs.

cheers!!!

Hey allen, just read your response. I hope you're happy with your current job now!
About PTCs, you can probably try Matrixmails or PTCBUX. These are the only PTCs I do besides neobux. I'm a premium member for both though but have been continuously paid. I'll send you the link. Thanks!


myLot reputation of 93/100. allen0187 (1568)   ranked 330 out of 2,801 in work  4 weeks ago

great!!!

will wait for the links.

cheers!!!

Oh? that's the thing I missed in the Philippines the Holidays during Halloween. hahaha here in US? they do have Halloween too but I am not participating. Mostly, they do have costume parties and kids knocking doors and they will be given candies.. I don't hear anyone here spend time in the cemetery to visit their dead loved ones. Not one..


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 115 out of 2,801 in work  1 month ago
