Well I hope you don't put your eggs all in one basket and quit with out something to fall back on .If its to stressful...no job worth getting sick over. I'd give my two weeks notice one another job was lined up.

Mathieu, I completely understand. There is no stress in the world like a crappy job. I have had a job before where I was constantly harassed and berated in front of others simply because the boss had a personality disorder that made her get off on doing this. I ended up having to go on doctor-ordered stress leave and thankfully I had some paid leave at the time that they were forced to let me use. I can only imagine the type of stuff you encounter in a call center! I guess the only advice I can give until you find a better job is to try detaching yourself mentally, or emotionally, while you're performing your job. I'm sure you have tried this and it may not always work. I hope you find something better, and soon!

Oh my! You wrote my story! I am actually at home today... with a stupid headache (stress) because of my work situation.. I walked out yesterday and said I was sick, but I'm pretty sure they know what I'm sick of! I have been at my workplace longer than any of my co-workers and some young girls come in and won't let you do your job without drama! But I can't quit my job! So I'll play hookie today.... maybe Monday as well!

My job sucks, I HATE IT, but I do what I have to do only because I need a few more credits towards my SS , but it has only been 2 weeks and it is just stupid for me to work an 8 hour a week job anymore. My husband has more heart problems and I am ALWAYS there for him for every appointment, every test, every surgery or hospital stay!

No job is worth all that stress or stress causing anxiety. If you NEED a job, I surely wouldn't quit without something else lined up first, as jobs are so hard to come by, but with me, I DO NOT NEED MY JOB, just doing it because!

Good luck, my best friend worked in a call center for 2 1/2 years and I heard it is one stressful job to say the least!
