DC BS

Anyone has a problem disconnecting the calls on your end once the meeting or the call you have is over with your prospects!


As today, I've been in a sh** meeting with my manager that was a helluva nightmare.


Him: Hey man, you're signing a warning+3 days deduction.

Me: There must be something wrong what happened?

Him:You have a high ratio of disconnected calls among the team.

Me: I would never disconnect a call with a customer unless, the conversation is over,did you listen to any of the calls that detected any behavior of releasing calls internationally before the conv is up?

Him:No, but you shouldn't have disconnected any calls from your side unless the prospects are hanging up on their end.

Me:I was just trying to save AHT and to avoid dead air if they forgot to hung up.

Him:Won't matter, we ain't allowed to disconnect calls for any reason as it may lead to termination as a sign of abuse, thank you for your time.

Me: W..., Thanks.


WTH!

Maxxy, If they're gonna micro manage you into the ground like that, you might want to consider another career over there in Egypt.

Could you be a Cairo-practor?

But where could I find a training for that, lol.
Seriously man, he didn't even consider that today was my off to deliver this message, I probably shouldn't have answered my phone till my next working day and I wouldn't be blamed if I did so!

Can they deduct 3 days of pay that you earned from you like that? Is that even legal there? Seems very extreme.

Clearly they don't trust you (or any of their reps) if they're micromanaging metrics that hard. Policies like that make a sales floor nothing more than a telemarketing call center.
