• Like one person shared that their manager had a bad habit. He was constantly putting up the schedule, and later on, penciling them in for shifts. Since they'd already made plans around the original schedule, this worker had 0 idea that they were expected to be at work. 

  Now, this is the kind of mistake you'd think a manager would make once or twice, but this was a recurring issue!

• Other people, like this person, left because the clients and customers were so bad. 

  Truly, when it comes to working at cold calling jobs, or any phone-related customer service rep jobs, people either stay for 3 days or a lifetime. No inbetween. Some people just have the patience required to deal with cranky Karens and entitled grandpas all day long. For most of us, we'd rather do, um, literally any other job in existence.

• For some employees, being overworked factored into their decision to leave. If you're working 15 hour days, and/or working like 6 days a week, it can feel like you never escape work. You start to have dreams about working, you think about it while you brush your teeth or eat your breakfast, and you barely have time for your actual life outside of your job. It's just not sustainable to live that way for a long time, and a good employer knows that. A bad employer will simply work their employees to the bone, wait for them to quit, then hire a new squad.
