22 Things You'll Definitely Experience Working In A Call Centre

19. If They Can't See You, Then You Don't Exist

Sadly, it;s an unwritten rule of customer service that if they can't see you then it makes it easier for clients to go bat sh*t crazy at you for something that is almost certainly never your fault. Talking on the phone is like a barrier that turns people into impatient, evil children denied a piece of cake before bedtime.
