    Think you answered your own question there... from what I've seen in my career (Not Admin btw) admin staff are usually paid cr.ap and work quite hard for it.

    If you want a stress free, easy life, doing little work for a reasonable return... apply to your local council or any other public body !! :rotfl:

    No admin opportunities with your current call centre?

    I know any i've worked for it was normal for agents / call centre staff to apply for roles in other departments.
