Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 weeks agoGetting a call center job to overcome your fear of phones sounds like getting waterboarded to overcome your fear of drowning.
Obviously it’s not a universal experience but it worked for me. I was on a help desk where I was actually able to fix shit for people though, not doing sales cold calls or something annoying like that.

Ah, fair. That can be a very different experience, especially if you’re working with a consistent group of people who recognize you as someone flying in to their rescue.

Yeah, prior to that as a teenager I worked at an auto shop which kind of let me dip my toes into dealing with the public. I could work the counter or if I got overwhelmed just stay in the back. That helped too but I hated the sales aspects of it.
