Call Center Employees,
Ever think about how your last day would be? How you're going to go out with a bang and be remembered by your team and future agents to come? How you're going to show all of those crappy managers that you're finally free from their oppressive micro-managing? Sure you have.
Let me tell you something. When I was in the hell was a call center, I thought about it too. I even had a nice little plan all laid out in my head:
In reality, it did not go like that all.
My very last day was...uneventful.
I came in, dropped my headset off, cleaned my desk, did an exit interview and just like that I was gone.
Why didn't you go out like a G? Why didn't you show them all the finger and make an epic departure from this hellish job?
I'll tell ya. I was finally so tired and burnt out from this type of work, that I didn't have the energy for the theatrics. I just wanted out and to never return to not only this company, but all contact center jobs in general.
That day I left, I had already got registered for school and had already begun taking upon myself to learn the skills needed for my major and career, I felt like the faster I get out of this place, the sooner I can actually start living the life I want to live and get the job I want to do and not the job I have to do.
Of course now, I am doing much better in life and in retrospect, I am kind of glad I didn't go out in the epic fashion I always envisioned. It would have been childish and would have made no impact whatsoever to my current career and field. I was just glad to leave.

- Curse a customer out
- Drop my headset like how a comedian drops the mic after they did a killer standup
- Walk out with the whole floor applauding me, while secretly being envious that I made it out
