It costs me 48˘ to pee.

Thus is life in a call center.
Unscheduled intervals are docked from one's pay. One minute to the men's room; one minute for relief (I don't rinse since I don't pee on my hands); and one minute back to the headset. When you take a blood pressure medicine with a diuretic, sometimes you need to go, scheduled interval or not.
Three minutes = 48˘. Time to cross my legs and pray for lunch.
(And, if anyone posts verses from "Here I sit, all broken hearted...," I shall personally burn your lawn!)

Michael, this is really from an actual monthly performance
review:
Jennifer was counseled on past month-ends to be sure and enter all exceptions in a timely manner. This will ensure that her compliance is always maintained at an acceptable level. Also, Jennifer needs to improve her Schedule Adherence. (I stuck to my schedule TO THE MINUTE-93% of the time!)
In other words: I didn't write down and record my pee breaks enough and I was out of compliance .
sheesh, they monitor everything!

You'll be paying a lot more if you get sick from not washing your hands!! Still germs...still must wash hands. You touch a keyboard - does anyone else use that besides you? You might rub your eyes or eat food.
Take the extra second and wash your hands!!!!
I'm only saying this because I care....
and because I'm a nurse....

Mujibar was trying to get a job in India.
The Personnel Manager said, "Mujibar, you have
passed all the tests, except one.
Unless you pass it you cannot qualify for this job."
Mujibar said, "I am ready."
The manager said, "Make a sentence using the words
Yellow, Pink and Green."
Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said,
"Mister manager, I am ready."
The manager said, "Go ahead."
Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green,
green, and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'"
Mujibar now works as a technician at a call center
for computer problems.
No doubt you have spoken to him

Ok Mike, you got me on that one.
Anything I previously wrote comparing my former job to yours in stupidity stories? Forget about it. I refuse to (effectively) pay to Pee. Either my company affords me time to defecate and void, or my direct superiors get wet shoes and have to call Hazmat to clean up...
THAT IS INSANE...

Probably won't get sick from it. The stuff itself is sterile but it gets a tad unpleasant after a time.

Perhaps they could consider catheters at each work station.
I'm guessin' that smoke breaks would be out of the question!
And they wonder where unions got their start! Good Grief!
You have my sympathies! But, please, spend the extra two cents and wash those hands!

I have to agree. In fact years ago, I threatened such a event (and was fully prepared to make good on said threat) if a fill in wasn't dispatched to relieve me for a trip to the rest room. New hire managers are a PITA.....and such fun to mess with.

Where do you guys work? I don't think its legal to doc an employee for relief time is it?  If so I want a link to prove it.
Michael, for $9.60 per hour I'd say fuck it and take an hour.

Per the famous newspaper columnist, Dr. Gott, "Urine is sterile, therefore handwashing isn't necessary for preventing the spread of disease."
Per the not-so-famous Kris_in_SJ, "Your skin isn't, so please wash your hands."

PS: I wouldn't have your job for all the pee in China.

Jasmyn, Lizzie2 and Grandma: You have just earned me $15.00. I had a bet with another CH person. Who would focus on the hygiene as opposed to the insanity of the regimented call center life? Jennifer got it because she has been there as have some other of our CH brethren.
We are missing one person whom we expected to post, or I would have made $20.00
I do know how to wash up. Occasionally. I bathe regularly, mostly on Saturday nights. Sometimes I wait until Sunday. Don't be downwind on Fridays.

Let me see...
.48x60=28.80/hrx8=230.40x5=1,152.00x52wks=59,904.00/yr
.48 say... x2/day=.96x5=4.80x52=249.60/yr.
Less Social Security tax, Medicare tax, Federal tax, State tax, local tax, health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, 401K...and 250.00/yr for pissin'... Seems as though you may be able to apply for some sort of economic assistance..?

A ways down the page there is a 4-page thread for Dave Emond. The caring, support, concern and love on that thread is what Clusteropolis is all about.
And then there is this one..........
