My burnout factor at work is increasing. They eliminated surfing on the floor. They dont want us reading non work related materials either. We can surf on our brakes only. grumble. If they were paying more I would notmind as much they are already the least paying call center job i have ever had.

- Take up smoke breaks (just go outside 10 minutes per hour, don't actually take up smoking!).
- If you have an mp3 player; Audiobooks & Music will save your sanity
- Socializing & and lowkey office games.
- Chat, games, etc on phone

Cell phones, mp3 players and pda's are not allowed at peoples desks. it can even be grounds for termination after repeated infractions.

Good grief, have you considered working on a Florida Farm Work Camp? Sounds like an improvement from your current position.

The restriction on surfing will probably laxed a bit in a month or so. At least I get health insurance.

Have you tried puzzle-books? Like crossword puzzles or something?

8.25 an hour, but bear in mind judging that by atlanta is not exactly good. It is much cheaper to live up here.

My suggestion would be to start reviewing your resume....
It's time for you to leave for better bosses and bigger dollar amounts.

I recommend finding a call center job in the insurance industry. For entry level claims customer service, with my shift differential, I'm at about 50% more. If you have solid call center experience, the insurance side of the job isn't that hard to learn, and the insurance industry is unlikely to experience a slowdown, as people will get sick, hurt, etc.
