CallCenter and Married Life

[FendeR_21]

hello, curious lang ako. The call center industry, despite the odd shift schedules is a great place to be employed for the young, single worker. It pays well and at the same time enhances our skills and gives us valuable experience. But in the future when we all get married, raise a family, have children, i find it difficult to deal with shifting and night skeds. I'D like to know your insights.. thanks!

i'd say depende sa committment nyong magasawa...my husband and i work in different call centers...there are times na totally opposite ang shifts nmin..pero we look at it the positive way na there is always someone home for our son...important thing is that you are clear on your priorities...tsaka be sure that whatever time you have together you make an effort to show to your partner that it's the best time of the day!!!

that's a really valid question. my wife works in a normal day job, i have a night shift job. my day off is during weekdays, so i dont get to enjoy too much of a weekend with my wife and kids when they're all home (kasi tulog ako). it's hard when you're an agent, kaya if you're married, do your best to get yourself promoted to a position that will let you go on day shift (such as training, or other support positions) and which usually has weekends off.

I totally agree. yeah pag agent ka medyo mahirap lalo n if u belong in a 24x7 account n iba-iba ang sched at restdays. Nung agent ako *** talaga ko lovelife, good thing I'm now a supervisor and my partner is a Workforce Manager, different call centers kme but both of us are enjoying a flexi sched nagsasabay kme pagpasok hindi kme pressured sa oras and weekends off kme lagi so I can say na ok **** kme we get to spend time, quality time. Pde **** un eh bsta ang important eh both of u are committed to make the relationship work. :)

[babyrush]

yeah medyo mahirap especially in my case, i have 3 kids na super kukulit di ako makatulog pag gising *** that's why bumabawi ako pag day-off ko. with regrds to my relationship with my hubby minsan di ok pag bad mood ako dhil sa puyat *** mejo nag aaway *** but i still do my best to give tym during the day with them.

kudos to those who posted here. i guess only those who experienced it will ever really understand how hard it is.
the most impt thing is maintindihan ng family mo exactly what ur going thru and work out a sked that allows you to sleep even when they're there. good thing my family cooperates w/ me and doesnt bug me when its sleeping time. when i wake up though, *** 3 or 4 hours lang kami mgkasama, i make sure i give my all to them.

thanks! up for this thread!

You get to spend more time with your family depending on your shift. In my case I take my kid to pre-school and you get to enjoy know each other more - compare it with the day shift dad who leaves and arrives home your kid asleep. You get to watch them grow - I've had my kid 2 years straight with honors - you've got the time to train them well. As for love life? You could never be too tired for it. You can always get a quickie or one hell of a weekend of hot love - my off days are Sat and Sun. I work in a call center when you can choose your day offs if your sched. ad. is good.

it is really "hard" to be working in a call center especially if you are an agent and most of the time your on a night shift. some think they can, because they enjoy what they do and still young at age, however, our physical health has its own limits. as we grow older, our resistance slow down and perhaps we may encounter some difficulties like, high blood pressure, stress and high cholesterol level. And as a result to this, we become more irritated or annoyed not only in our clients but in our family members as well. even more to those assigned with 'quota' so much pressure. in the long run, you will not be an agent for life, you will be thinking for a higher position or by chance go abroad apply a work and your basis of experience as a call center agent. it is hard for both married couples working in the same industry, like i do, my wife and i are not call center agent,but i tried to apply in CVG i was "hired" but not "in" because of the cct, we retired in the same company and became jobless. my wife, through God's grace, she was able to make it in an insurance company that belongs to the top 3 which is SUNLIFE OF CANADA, where she was able to pass all of the test and training that was given. She is not only an insurance agent but a professional insurance agent as well. Aside from that, she is also engaged in investment business which sustain our financial needs. It is better for you guys not to be working in the same company, there might be a time you wont be seeing each other because of your schedule from work. so what i do now, i have posted something , a carpool service for cca that works at night and pick them up in the morning.

uu nmn...kasi sabi nga make sure na *** best time mo gamitin mo sa pamilya mo,...ndi yung pagdating mo matutulog ka na lang..conscious effort talaga, pero it pays off...

and maganda pampatulog un , nyahahah

[jovhelle]

agent ang hubby ko sa Call center... almost 2years na din cia sa work na malimit gabi ang pasok... at first auko talaga kasi preggy ako sa 1st baby namin nun e hindi din ako sanay na wala siya pag-gabi. but we have no choice kasi pareho kaming undergrad at sa call center lang *** malaki ang sweldo so no choice kami....

1st year ng marriage namin kasama namin ang family niya sa house para may kasama kami but on the 2nd year nagsarili na kami so kami na *** ng son ko *** mag-kasama pag-gabi pero pag-uwi naman niya di niya nakakalimutan makipag-play sa baby namin. kahit puyat siya may time talaga siya for us. sabi nga ng mga ka-team niya perfect father daw siya kasi pure work lang siya tapos uwi na agad.. at kahit sa team building kasama kami mag-ina.. heheheh...

halos months siyang morning shift last year kaya masaya kami. ayan tuloy preggy na ulit ako.. sad to say balik graveyard ulit siya.. lonely na ulit ang nights kasi di namin siya kasama sa house.. 730amna cia umuuwi.... haaaayyy... hirap... madami ng opportunity na dumating para ma-promote siya pero tinurn down niya dahil ayaw niya mabasan *** time for us kasi busy masyado ang TL's dba...

I work at a call center - day shift - but hubby does not. Malaki na rin daughter ko (10 years old) so seeing them isn't really a problem. When I was on night shift, sure - I had to make bigger adjustments since puyat ka nga palagi but compared to other industries, call center salaries are the bomb! I put my daughter through a 2 year taekwondo program and she's now a black-belter who passed her Kukkiwon (international affiliation) exam last year. Kaya me nakapondo na if ever hindi siya umabot sa university level - but there's a good chance she can play varsity level TKD too ... thanks to my call center job. As for my lovelife - well there are the nights for that hehe and we go out occasionally on dates and leave our daughter with my parents ... last time was dec 29th nanood kami ng gig ni hubby *okay* *okay*

[RetroManila]

i'm getting married this year. my schedule worries us. we may never spend enough time to kinda establish things. i do not want to get used to just seeing my wife on weekends.

e pano na ang sex life nyo? may oras pa ba kayo sa isa't isa e syempre pag uwi nyo pagod na kayo at puyat.

If you have opposite skeds then zero sex life nyo, once a week na lang ang loving-loving pag same ang off nyo. So make the most out of it di ba? Mahirap talaga kc nawawala ang intimacy which is very important sa couple. So in this case, you have to take a leave just to compensate with your wife and to be with ur kids. Ganun, mahirap talaga lalo pg young couple pa. Like on my end im 27 and my wife is also 27 then we have 2 kids na, 3 and 2 yrs.old. Tha's life!

[psychosonicindy]

there are a lot of cases of infidelity sa call centers. in our call center there was an incident of this guy na mahilig talaga sa mga bebot and i've got a few friends who've either fooled around or had their SOs fool around on them - any insights on this mga peoples?

[RedZaido]

for moms, working in a call center industry really need a lot of talents especially if you are on a night shift. in my case i would go home around 8 AM, get about an hour sleep and wake up again about 1030 AM to cook lunch. i have 2 yaya but i feel guilty if i just let the yaya take care of my children. normally would sleep back at around 2 PM then wake up again at 5:30 to cook dinner and get ready to work. this is my daily routine- good thing i'm off on weekends , so doon na rin ako bumabawi talaga ng time sa mga bata. my husband works with the military kaya once ot twice a month lang din sa house

e pano na ang sex life nyo? may oras pa ba kayo sa isa't isa e syempre pag uwi nyo pagod na kayo at puyat.

pareho kami ng wife ko sa call center, so far very active pa naman kami in sex life. we have kids. yun nga lang ang kailang eh very trustful yaya. at swerte na rin siguro kasi my mom lives with me. so kahit tulog kami sa umaga at wala kami sa gabi. my mom is the master of the house. nasusupervise ang mga longkatuts at yayas namin.

pero kung wala kang magulang na nakatira sayo, mahirap nga yun. mahirap pa naman ngayong basta basta magtiwala sa mga longkatuts, ang iba dyan magnanakaw. nanakwan na kami before, wala na rin habol syempre. *okay*

[silke]

mahirap talaga.. we just got married last march and now i'm looking for a dayshift job na rin.. ok *** na outsourcing pa rin basta dayshift.. buti na nga lang pareho kami off kaya nagkikita kami kahit weekends man lang pero iba pa rin *** every night magkasama kayo..

[Me111]

di ba kyo nahihirapan magtiwala? and dami kasing issues sa call center na tungkol sa married people pero pinapatulan pa rin. my husband kasi bago ngyon sa call center. nagresign nako dyan so nahirapan naman ako ngyon kasi palit kami ng trabaho

[nyack]

pinapatulan? of course andami talaga. sa call center na siguro ang pinakamarming ganyan kasi sa mere population natin. pero puno't dulo pa rin dyan is kontrolin ang libog ng mga yan. nakakaintindi naman ako na gusto ng mga lalake o babae na makatikim ng ibang putahe. pero ok na dapat ang husband o wife ninyo kasi libre sex!

sa iba kasi liligawan mo pa, bobolahin mo pa, lilibre mo pa. tapos pagnakantut mo at nabuntis mo, sira pa buhay mo!

isang sarap, habang buhay hirap!

but for some, yun ang thrill. ang sakin lang, sira na utak nila :rotflmao:

from what i've heard, 24/7 offers day shift jobs.

this may just be your best option if you want to stay in the industry.
