Our job cut us loose over some of the dumbest ****. I found a headset, had krystal hold on to it for one of the guys on our team whose headset was stolen. The guy makes an offer to buy it off her at a cheaper amount than the company was trying to gouge out of him (they want $60 for a headset that wouldnt go for $10 at radioshack) and management found out about it. It wasnt our idea to sell it, we were just going to have it for whoever needed it. Well, to management thats theft of company property for profit, and they fired Krystal and I.



Good. I'm tired of being that company's bitch. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif

WTF!? Thats some bullshit bro!! Where were you workin at anyway?

Decision One, doing tech support for the Sprint PCS account.

Well, I was suckered in because I thought it was a tech support job; however, once they had their hooks in me, I found out it was inbound telemarketing using the customers technical issue as a front to get them on the phone to sell something.



bastards.

damn man... i'm raisin one for you tonight. best of luck in future endeavors.

Thanks Blu. I'm raisin several tonight!

Damn, that sucks. So pretty much, you were a telemarketer. My boss asks me to do that at work when we get leads on cars, and I really hate doing it. I would not want somebody bothering me at home or at work about wanting to buy a car. I will buy when I want to buy.



Good luck though on a future job. Go sell cars, seriously, it is killer money. But the hours suck, like any decent job.

What's best is that your final check gets mailed to you. Payday is next friday the 1st, Monday's the 4th, and my rent is late 9am the 5th. I just hope they don't take their sweet time.

I did voice and data technical support, but yeah, i considered it telemarketing because we had a sales quota we had to hit. Seriously, that company sucks. Decision One was a vendor site for sprint, and they had some GAY **** policies around there.



Call time of 7.6 minutes, or its a write up

Sales close rate of 7.5% or its a write up

No more than 30 seconds of hold per call (and thats IMPOSSIBLE) or its a write up

You're required to offer multiple products on 75% of calls (including drop calls or irrate customer calls or hang ups when the customer knows the sales portion of the call is next) or its a write up.



All that, combined with the fact that a lot of the technical information is outdated, incorrect, or just not present, and that they will reward the good sellers but write up good techs who cant sell, makes me wonder WTF is going on there. THATS the reason Sprint is #5 (last) in the industry.



Those of you who have sprint know that they care more about their stockholders than their customers.



Bastards.

All companies are like that, but they still have a decent customer service base. I read in the paper one day, that Tracfone(yes, tracfone) had the best customer service.



My friend is happy with his Sprint, but he has not had a problem yet, but I am sure he will if he keeps dropping the damn thing. I am very happy with nextel, I just owe them money. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

I just found out you gotta be unemployed for 2 weeks to even file, then it takes 8 weeks for the money to show up. Cant wait that long!



I'm confident that we can find new jobs within a new day. We're pretty highly skilled and there are a lot of tech jobs in Tulsa.

or hit the pavement TODAY and find another job, it cant be that hard to replace the job you thought was so crappy.



Did you find this headset at work? If you did I would think it should have been turned in? It was on someone's head who was going to get charged the $60 you say they charge people for new ones.

Yeah Rob, we were job hunting before we left the parking lot. Drove around for about 3 hours after the news collecting applications and such. We were on the night shift, so that means cruising around 7-8 pm looking for apps. We're going to try to get on at Lothema's job, he says they're hiring.



Yeah, found the headset at work, couldnt turn it in because no mgr there to take it. The shitty thing was EVERYONE does **** like that. If I hadnt taken it, some other bastard would've. I told a teammate about that, and he told me he's got 3 headsets and a phone amp he'd helped himself to in his car...WTF? I thought I was looking out for my team, but I guess not. Hell, I even went and voluntarily voiced my involvement in the whole deal (it started out with Krystal and the guy who offered to buy it, she did her best to keep my name out of it) thinking we could rationalize the event, help them to understand. Nope. That company is crazy anyway.

that sucks dude....



nice steins by the way.



and i like my sprint service...got any hacks?

You wanna hack a VI660?! Get a ******* axe cuz thats the only hackin you're gonna do on that piece of ****!! Want a good phone with Sprint than get a Sanyo MM7400 or a Sanyo MM5600. **** for that matter get anything other than that phone! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif Two cans and a string are better than that phone!!

i got the toshiba vm4050. but will most likely get the sanyo mm5600 in the near future.

Any hacks for an A620?



And I don't want any **** about the age of my phone... I can talk on it, recieve txt messages, limited web browsing, and take decent photos with it. Also, it has the longest battery life of any of my friend's phones, and ties with a friend that has that shitty little green-background-black-text tracphone styled phone from cingular. I don't need to spend $500 on the latest phone trend.
