I can't really say I hate my job, but like most of the people who've responded in this thread, I work a crappy shift and get yelled at by people who are in the position they are in because of their own actions.
Listen, asshole who's yelling at me, or giving me attitude like I am beneath you and you think you have the right to treat me like shit, I am here to HELP get you out of the fucking mess you got yourself into. You ignored the four notices over a six-month period we sent you to resolve your issue.....which you ignored. So now it's MY fault that legal action is being initiated against you? Uh, yeah....not so much.
And it is NOT ok to buy a house when you have a legal obligation to resolve your issues with the entity that I am employed by, and then tell me to go fuck myself (or insert whatever expletive you choose) when I tell you that you have to apply for a HELOC, or a bank loan, or dip into your retirement/sell stocks, whatever. And, no, your kid's private school, or dance lessons, gymnastics/golf lessons, etc...the list goes on....are NOT allowable expenses that are considered to meet basic needs of health, welfare and production of income.
It is NOT an excuse for you not to meet a legal obligation from 6 years ago that you ignored because you "were in a coma from 3/2009-8/2009". Are you clairvoyant? Did you know that you'd be in a coma six years ago?? WTF, people--get your heads out of your asses. If I had a nickel for every hard luck story I listen to day after day after day....I'd be fucking rich and wouldn't have to listen to assholes who circumvent the system to shirk their legal obligations.
And, NO, you can't have a fourth, fifth, sixth or (insert higher number of your choice here) extension because of your "hardship". YOU do not determine the criteria for a true hardship; WE do. Guess what? You don't meet that criteria. Now, I am not telling you how to spend your money, but you need to make THIS obligation your priority or risk action that will create a bigger problem for you.....your choice.
This is not customer service, so I do not have to listen to you berate me, swear at me, or otherwise cause me misery in any shape, form or fashion.....I can (and have done so on many occasions) hang up on you once I've warned you that I do not have to tolerate your verbal abuse/threats. This is the thing that I LOVE about my job!
Oh, and we always have some kind of food thing happening there. We also do a lot of community service as a whole, which is kind of cool.
I love paid leave and the fact my boss does not micro-manage me, and I have some really helpful, extremely knowledgeable co-workers. All in all, my job does not suck. Just the callers do......
