I QUIT

Oh yes...

After "toughing it out" for a couple of weeks, I gave my notice at my second job. The amount of time it would take for me to fulfill the job, and the amount of work it would take, wasn't worth the return. I'll look for something else, and Suz is doing the same. The loss of income will be missed, but not the hassle of getting out there.... I'm actually looking forward to having Saturdays at home....

Job changes....

Well... it was due to happen sometime.

Yesterday at my second job, I was told (with lots of others in the same situation) that my job description has changed. We are now to "promote" - ie sell - a product that we provide technical support for.

It's been two years since I did the training for this phone support job. At the time, we were told there was no sales involved. Since the new product came on line, there have been incentives to promote it to people calling in for assistance with other products, but the promotion part was on our own, at least that was what I inferred.

Yesterday's session was good in that the expetations were very clear - the job has changed. Start doing it.

A bunch of years ago, I did outbound sales for phone companies from the states. I lasted 4 months before I couldn't do it any more. I hope that this is different. At this point, the "Promotion" part is the only part I'm uncomfortable with.
