Pure Disgust

Work this evening was awful to say the least. I was doing fine up until about 9pm, then a training class ended and all of the new employee's came out on the floor to hang out with this girl that was sitting next to me. Every single person that was in that training class was by far the scummiest person I had ever encountered. I was utterly disgusted with every word that came out of their mouths. Every personality trait these people had was the absolute worst imaginable traits anyone could ever have. I have never once in my life hated someone in such a short amount of time as these people made me. No one has ever made such an awful first impression on me, I really couldn't believe it. I was so mad that I felt like I was going to throw up and got a headache, I finally couldn't take it anymore so I asked to leave work early.
Prior to working at Afni, of course there was people I didn't like but it was never to this extent. The people who work at Afni are the lowest of the low. It seems as if the worst people on Earth are all placed in this office. Not one person there is someone I would actually want to sit down and have a conversation with or ever hang out with, with the exception of one person. Afni is the most unprofessional work place I have ever unfourtanitly been a part of, even my days spent working at Pizza Hut were 100% more professional than Afni. Everyone including the supervisors and managers is a disgrace to hummanity. I was having a meeting with my supervisor last week and he started talking about this "hot girl" that I hang out with at work. I could not believe he'd bring that up in a meeting. Another time he called my house because I missed a day and he didn't have my cell phone number yet and my sister answered, and he asked me the next day at work how old my sister was. He's also asked me if I have any "hot friends" and if "that girl you talk to has a boy already". Other supervisors are so inappropriote with the female employees, like making sexual jokes with and about them right in the middle of work. It makes me sick to have to sit and watch all this shit happen. If that's how professional, mature, responisble, and example setting "supervisors" at Afni act, then fuck that place, I want to have no part of it. I get embarrassed admiting to my friends and anyone I meet that I am assosiated with Afni in anyway because of the people I am forced to work with.
I dread going in there everyday, not because the work is bad, but because of the people. I overheard one story once a girl at Afni was telling about how she had two miscarriages because she drank too much "JD" when she was unknowingly pregnant, oh, and she's only 19. The worst part wasn't that this thing was standing in the same room as me, but that she wasn't even bothered by it, as if having a miscarriage due to alcohol is just a normal, everyday thing. Everyday I come into work I get the pleasure of hearing stupid stories about "how much I drank last night" or "how siq Main Street was last night" and "how hot the girls at the Bunny Ranch are" and other retarded shit I don't want to hear about. No one at Afni has anything good to say ever, and from what I hear they all live the boringest and uneventful lives ever.
Another thing that I hate about Afni is that they have no dress code. You'd think it would be cool to have the privilege to wear basically anything you want, but I hate having that freedom and I hate even more that other people there are granted that freedom. I hate seeing what people there wear, all it does it piss me off. I cringe at so many outfits in a day I can't even count. Fucking people coming in wearing shirts that say "fuck", sweatpants, and other retarded shit that doesn't belong at work or even public makes me sick.
You're probably thinking, "well Karl you work at a call center what do you expect?" I worked at Citimortgage last summer and it wasn't at all as bad as Afni. At Citi, the employees were respectful, professional, and mature. The supervisors were helpful and everyone was very pleasant to be around. How else could I stand to work ten hour days four days a week? The job was boring, but it was the people who made it all bearable. They actually wanted you to succeed and move on with your life, not to just work there until you can't take it anymore. Citimortgage also had a strict dress code where you had to wear a polo or dress shirt and dress pants or nice jeans only. You could wear shorts on the weekend, but only during the Summer from what I heard. Their theory behind this was if you dress professional, you act professional. Shockingly, their theory worked. Some people there may have been shitty outside of work, but at work they did their job and kept their mouth shut about their dumb fucking personal life. Citimortgage had kind of a, no tolerance policy, for both stupid people and unprofessional behavior. I would honestly love to work at Citimortgage again if they could accomodate my school schedule.
Speaking of that, I told my boss at Citi I wouldn't be able to work in the fall because of college, and at that moment she dropped what she was doing and told me to come back later that afternoon because she would have a schedule that I could work while attending school, and later that afternoon she did! I didn't accept it, but still, she took the time to try to make it work. At Afni, I gave my supervisor my school schedule and receipts proving I paid for my classes and still I was stuck with some bullshit schedule that has me working late at night during the week. My ID's for a system at Afni were disrupted about three months ago and because of it I can't place orders for customers on the east coast. I told my boss countless times that I need this fixed and nothing has fucking happened yet. It's been three months! It just goes to show that Afni doesn't care about their employees.
This guy I'm kind of friends with that was in the same training class as me at Afni quit about three weeks into working at Afni after training because of how unprofessional it was. I should have done the same. This hate for Afni has been a growing problem for me, but tonight with the release of the new representatives I was at my boiling point. After Sound and Fury I will no longer be working for Afni. It's seriously degrading to have to step foot on Afni's property. Fuck Verizon, DirecTV, and Pay-Per-View for allowing Afni to represent them and "help" their customers. The day will come when those companies drop Afni, and all I will do is laugh.

  1. Quite Afni! You're not white trash OR a scumbag. Go back to Citi and make that money! And that Bayside song is like the best acoustic besides A Long December!
