Question by Josh G: Should I quit my call center job and go full time again at Albertsons?
Alright so this is the deal, I work at a call center for Qwest. I work in a department where we call customers to review their orders and make sure they are correct, sounds easy but it’s tedious and nerve racking for me, and I dread coming into work. The thing is I get paid $ 9.50/hour and get 40 hours a week, sometimes more if overtime is available. Am I crazy to want to quit this job and go back to Albertsons as a cashier (still work there) and make $ 9.00/hr and barely get 40 hours a week, probably less because it’s the post Christmas season? The upside is that Albertsons is a union job, and when I hit my 1000 hours I will get a raise that will bring my pay up to $ 10.50/hr, should be in about 2 or 3 months, depending on what kind of hours I get. I want people’s opinions on this, especially people who have worked in a call center, preferably outbound, because I’m kind of at a loss of what to do right now. Any and all input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

i recently quit a job i made bank at, but hated, and got a job making considerably less with less hours…but i love my new job.
and i have more time for other things now…and i am less stressed out and irritable.
so i say you do what you want, but it is never worth the money to work a job you dread going to.
