Eh, I’ve worked in a few call centers and from what I’ve seen, they just constantly hire, training groups for various contracts are frequent, and people are pulled from closed contracts to fill in when people leave or are fired from ongoing contracts. They also tend to overhire for each training group because a lot of people will quit or not be good at it.

They CHURN, and they don’t give a fuck because everyone is going to burn out or move on in short order anyway. That’s just the nature of the job. If you don’t seem like a good fit quickly they won’t keep you around. Is all metrics.

They are horrible places to work. Often referred to as “employment of last resort” by employment services people around here.

That’s fucking crazy. I love how absolutely considerate everyone was, even for someone who obviously didn’t “belong” there.

I mean I used to wear sunglasses at work at my desk because everything in the office was just too damned bright. Same with a restaurant job for about 2 hours of sunset when the light streamed in the windows.

Who cares what people think? Protect your eyes and do whatever you like when entering a store. As long as you can see fine, it doesn’t matter.

Was 10 the one with blitzball? I never went past that arena, that game should have been released as a standalone, fun as fuck.

I had a similar training selling stuff for a remodeling company.

I quit on the second day of training. It felt gross, and I told them I was really uncomfortable with their tactics and that’s 100% why I was quitting…

I also don’t watch tv and go out of my way to avoid ads :) pihole on the network, Plex and physical media for media needs.

Hey candy land is difficult. I mean how can you play after you eat all the candies? Plus hospital tables aren’t ever big enough for the board!

I’d rather not have robot bees. I’ve seen hated in the nation (black mirror episode).

I think I might be going on a quest in middle earth…

I’ve only used genAI once, to re-write my resume. (And I played with image generation to sort of see what it can do and be a muse for me because I’m aphantasic, but I was wiiiiiildly disappointed.)

It spit out something less good than what I fed into it, hallucinated a ton of skills and experience I don’t have, and it looked like AI slop when it was done. So a lose-lose.

Might be good for people who don’t know things or who can’t write for shit (so your average first year college student, IME) but… honestly it’s garbage if you aren’t average or below already. So I’m not surprised it’s ruining people’s ability to function.

Ai is a tool for dumb people (sorry. not sorry.) to land good jobs that dumb people shouldn’t hold or be hiring for, and that’s about it.

What do battle passes even do? Is that the same thing as “season pass” things in other games (not that I know what those do either tbh)?

I never pay for, and thus don’t look at, any game stuff that’s not included, so I’m totally ootl on this one.
