I had a sub-contractor/contractor position doing level 1 helpdesk for Apple. The metrics changed for approval, and got reduce entirely to customer surveys customers had to decide to fill out. Neutral surveys were treated badly.
So, I got one neutral survey by someone who said their daughter would call in later, and then one where the person was ticked off at AT&T charging restock fees, and they were over 200 miles from an Apple Store. So, while I fixed their problem and actually did decent customer service, I got a bad survey because the person was ticked off. The job paid less than $10 an hour and I had to provide the bandwidth and phone line to. It had no medical benefits, and if anything happened technically, I did not get paid. And if it was the cable company that messed up the bandwidth, I got written warning for attendance, because it wasn't the company. A promotion to senior level support ended up being $1 more an hour.
And I will say this. If you EVER get a survey by a company you need to fill out, end up saying the person did a great job. You do a bad survey, you could cost someone their job. If you have a general feedback box to the company, you can complain there.
Anyhow, I press on without money coming in. LEAST on my mind is getting new videogames or a new system. Heck, I also need to get a new computer as I am using one the family has here.
