Get a clue pal. You really think the people on the phones (me being one) make the rules? many companies require 30 days notice to cancel some dont....bt require 2 weeks....crazy isnt it! if Skys that bad you shouldnt of been with them in the first place...let alone agreed to their contracts! You try staring at a screen for 10 hours a day for 12k and you find the incentive to recognise your butthole from ur elbow!!!

Wow, I really touched a raw nerve there didn't I! Firstly, do you know what a monopoly is? Well your wonderful employer pretty much has one which means people have little choice but to use them, regardless of how bad they are. Oh wait, I could switch to Virgin? Oh no I couldn't because your greedy employer wanted too much money to sell their main channel, silly me. :rolleyes:

Many companies require 30 days, yes, but I don't know of any other company where they provide different services and have different termination periods for each one! That's the crazy part. :eek:

The part about not knowing body parts was a reference to poor training programmes on your employers part, not a direct hit on the telephonists so you might want to brush that chip from your shoulder.

If you are working 10 hours a day for 12K and have such a problem with it, maybe you should be looking for employment elsewhere instead of coming on here asking people to get a clue.

Well said.

I used to work in a call centre , again , 10 hr shifts for £12k a year .

Last thing i wanted was some f**kwit moaning at me because of my companys policys and procedures.

Most of which are clearly stated in the small print on the contract you sign (which became apparent 99% of people dont read) , and then take it out on the Call Centre Agent when they want to quit the service , but realise what they are tied into.

For the record (not that I have to justify myself to anyone but quite clearly there are some people who are a little on edge so here goes) I was very nice to the guy I spoke to on the phone. He kindly went away to find out why the same company has 2 termination periods for different services and came back saying he didn't understand why but that is how it is.

Perhaps you need a profound disrespect for your customers to work in a call centre if you refer to them as "f**kwits". Maybe a customer-facing role is not the place for you...:rolleyes:

And what happened to the customer always being right? If there were no customers you wouldn't be able to earn your 12K per year. I will end this here as I think this thread has already been hijacked enough and taken off topic so apologies to horacewimp for that.

In the words of Dragons Den, I'm Out...:A

I've got freeview built in to my tv. Maybe its just a weak signal.

I've also got sky 2mix package, what are the chances of gettin skysports news activated even tho I'm not on the knowledge mix? Seems a bit silly that its available for free to non sky packages but not for sky customers!!
