Update XV: Stuck Inside of Tulsa with the Oklahoma City Blues Again

[WalterMitty]

the existence of this cadd certificate is a very disputable fact. 

[WalterMitty]

bushie do you have a phone phobia?

i actually had one for many years.

[WalterMitty]

they really still pay people $7.25/hour in oklahoma?

[WalterMitty]

Bushie, is your boss a black?

[WalterMitty]

so bushie this job involves calling at&t customers and selling what exactly?

[WalterMitty]

Sounds like he's a telemarketer if he's making cold calls, the kind that call you trying to upsell you on services from a company that you already have service from.

im guessing his pay gets knocked down to a base of $7.25 if he doesnt sell.

[WalterMitty]

It is lunch time and the day is going great.  We haven't done much yet today only going over the call flow.  We may shadow agents already on the  floor this afternoon.  This is easy money today.

Well yes, it is quite easy to not do anything.

He's just parroting glib comments from his sales manager. AT&T loves throwing money around. It's easy money today. And so forth.

^^^

bushie shouldnt be foolish enough to believe that any company likes to 'throw money around.'

[WalterMitty]

Alas, no CADD info.

sounds like metrotech isnt returning his phone calls or emails.

[WalterMitty]

bushie, does your new job require you to clock out to go to the bathroom?

[WalterMitty]

rip outbound call center.

rip paid sports talk.

[WalterMitty]

how long did bushie work at the gas company?  what did he do there?

i still cant believe he left that place.

[WalterMitty]

Walter, I was there for 2 years from 2008-2010.  I still regret leaving there when I did.

what did you do there?

[WalterMitty]

Weren't you pretty close to being fired from there anyway though when you latched onto the Nigerian scam.

I don't think I would have lasted the rest of that year.

was your attendance bad there too?

[WalterMitty]

bushie do you have to clock out to go to the bathroom at this job?

[WalterMitty]

and bushie have you ever made it through training at a call center?

[WalterMitty]

bushie do you have to clock out to go to the bathroom at this job?

He answered this already.

bushie, does your new job require you to clock out to go to the bathroom?

I have to go in a different code on the phones, but I still get paid for it.

his company used to have a policy that stated you had to clock out before going to the bathroom.

[WalterMitty]

does bushie now get his pay cut since he missed time?

rip $10 an hour.

[WalterMitty]

I had the pay explained to me this way, and this should answer the legality that J-Mann brought up.  The base is $8.00/hr, but with an automatic $2.00/hr bonus if you work between 38-40 hours during the week.  If you miss between 2-10 hours, the bonus drops to $1.00/hr extra and there is no bonus if you miss more than 10 hours in the week.  On top of the attendance bonus are sales bonuses that can add up to as much as an additional $6.00/hr for the entire pay period.  So, as long as I show up everyday, I am guaranteed $10.00/hr, but could make up to $16.00/hr.  That's not including all the sales games they have.  AT&T likes to throw money around.

so bushie is now making $8?

[WalterMitty]

Sounds like $9. $8/hr is for less than 30 hours a week and one day will only be 32.

if i were a gambling man, id say bushie makes it less than 30 this week.

[WalterMitty]

bushie you once said that you wouldnt be able to sell a five dollar bill for a nickel.   what changed?
