The one great thing about my last call center (Netflix, direct not outsourced) was we had the corp policy of unlimited time off. Limited paid time off, unlimited time off. So as long as your metrics were solid, no worries.

I feel like I should have known that - Makes me want a job there or someplace like it... Holy poo poo, dream perk right there.

I swear we discussed it!

I know how YOU got unlimited unpaid time off, but I didn't know that was a thing that you could do, like, as a regular person. You're not talking about VTO are you? 'Cause I knew about VTO.

I did 9 years in the trenches and can confirm this was true for my center.

This is true even outside the call center.

I have no morals and love talking to angry people - can I get a collections call center job on the side or something? Any remote options?

working for XBox tech support.

Several years ago (before the xbone), I worked at a company that starts with the letter S and did Xbox billing support and later networking support. This was in person in Oregon, any relation to your stories?

I have a carefully crafted ability to get people stark-raving angry without doing a single thing wrong.

Using that skill was one of the few things I liked about call center work.

Much prefer that to the swearing and being called a loving idiot.

Disagree, I don't mind that. Game of Thrones spoilers, tho...
