I hate it when they send you home early when you don’t want to go. At our work they would ask us who wanted to go home first and there was always usually someone who didn’t want to be there, but that may be because it was a part time job and many of the people working there were teenagers. If they forced you to leave because no one wanted to go, they had to pay you for three hours even if you worked less than that. Of course they would pay you more if you worked for longer than 3 hours.

Ahh that sounds horrible. I hope your management gets over itself soon because that’s just unfair treatment. Although I hope even more you can find a better job so you wont have to put up with this for long.

I think everyone is having problems with their job. I hope your job sorts out what it actually wants to do. Maybe you’ll be able to find a job closer to where you live.

Good luck with everything.

I think they’re messed up and you should quit, cause that’s not fair treatment.

I take it you work with phone sales? I tried that once and hated every minute of it so I know how it goes.

It’s a very uncertain business so the way the management acts is incredibly stupid. It must be very hard to calculate how fast you should reach your goals since it’s not really up to you but the people you call. And it’s not like the sales will increase because they send people home! That will just make the moral of the employees sink.

You should try to find another job. One that you would enjoy going to.

Ok, obviously the management has no idea of what they are doing. Pulling people off the phones and sending them home will not get them the required number of hours worked. If people say no, they say no. That is no one’s fault and frankly, I think it’s a bunch of crap that any job has a “sales goal” because it’s not your fault someone does not want something!

They are shooting themselves in the foot all around with what they’re doing and they’ll be lucky to keep the client at all by doing what they did tonight!
