Things I learned at my old job vs what I learned at my new job

[Jewelarcher]

Old job:
-be respectful
-focus
-be a team player
-take care of the customer
-know your job and how to do it
-know that you are being paid to sit in a comfy chair in the air
-occasionally you may have to move to another comfy chair
-team green is the best team above all others

New job
- talk shit about customers
-hate life
-complain

I may have made a mistake.

What are the jobs?

[Jewelarcher]

The first job was at a corporate teleconferencing center. Doing large calls for businesses and courtcall (court on the phone)
The new one is working at a finance company.
In the long run my new job will pay more.

Boy. In the long run, a poisonous atmosphere will poison your outlook. If you hear this crap day-in and day-out it will start to stick.

I called them out on their bad attitudes today. This lady called twice, and they were saying she was rushing them and whatnot. I told them they were the angriest people I have ever met. Then they started to try and justify their reasoning.

I'm sorry you've gone to a more poisonous work environment. If it's a small office, you may be able to effect some positive change (that mantra, be the change you want to see). Slacking (other people's) is something you may need to let run off your back.

The thing that bothers me is the unprofessional atmosphere.
But I just try to do my job and continue learning.. I plan on staying there a while because it's money I desperately need.. But I won't let their attitudes get me..

I just hope that the attitude doesn't rub off. I worked with some four-door brass-plated assholes at my last company. I stood it as best I could, worked piles of overtime, invested like a big dog, and retired ahead of when those SOBs had the nerve to ask me about (and I told them a lie. Fuck 'em).

No it defiantly won't run off on me.
I did spend the first.. Month out of training silently crying at my desk or crying as soon as I got home.
Just because asking questions gets you treated like your stupid.. It's bad now but not as bad as it was.
