I love my profession although many hate it. It is not an easy job for sure and typically doesn't pay awfully well. It does take a "knack" to do it well and to not get burned out or "take it home" so to speak.
My current job is in Customer Service. I have worked in this field my whole life in various companies. I now need to work from home due to not being able to walk more than a few feet, so, after my former employer went out of business due to Covid in 2020, I applied for and landed what I thought would be a perfect, full time and long term work from home position from a billion dollar corporation. I was hired, got many awards and a couple of raises and thought all was going well.
Well as my Dad used to say "Thought didn't, he just thought he did." It means that although I had thought it would be a long term job, the CEOs of the Corporation decided to no longer use domestic agents (USA) and so May, 2023, I became laid off. I am unemployed seeking work at home customer service that hopefully will stay in the USA. I am most used to food product customer service but have done sales and service positions in multiple other types of products such as vacuum cleaners or kitchen goods. Anyhow, I guess my overall reason for posting is that no matter how secure you believe your position to be, there's always the slight chance it will disappear, even with a very large corporation.
Thank you for reading and I really do enjoy my profession and am seeking a new work from home customer service job.
Enjoy your collecting and hope everyone has a wonderful day.
