#ive spent so much time calling call center supervisors simply because the person who helped me was so kind i wanted their bosses to know

I mean this as gently as humanly possible, but some of you really need to start interacting with people you don’t like in person. I cannot stress enough that you will be EXPECTED to be able to work alongside or with people you don’t like throughout your life and, in real life, you can’t just clap back with a spicy comment and keep your job.

I am by no means saying you have to tolerate racists, ableists, homophobes, or sexists. But you will have to learn to work with people who you disagree with, whose personalities drive you up the wall, and who you just simply don’t like.

Being unable to do so is a “you” problem that you need to work on- because it doesn’t just apply professionally. It applies when fighting for human rights too. And if you can’t have empathy for the 80 year old who calls your call center because she can’t figure out the online portal, then you’re not really practicing the ~uwu im a small baby that needs empathy~ vibes that you preach, now are you? Treat otters the way you want to be treated, etc etc.

#professional advice #your poor customers and clients and coworkers arent the ones to be mad at my dears #direct that anger straight at the throat of your management #patience and empathy are genuine virtues that need to worked at and practiced #and girlies it WILL help your mental health #not getting on tumblr and being an asshole about your poor fucking elderly clients will HELP you not hate your life #dont know how you can rage about people over 60 and think youre in the right but okay #REGARDLESS if you expect people to accomodate you you also need to be accomodating #and people WILL REWARD YOU for that you have no idea #ive spent so much time calling call center supervisors simply because the person who helped me was so kind i wanted their bosses to know
