Did you ever celebrate "take your kid to work" day? What was it like? (lemm.ee)

I was the kid, mom was working in a call center

I learned that people suck, and I still hate talking on the phone.

I also learned sudoku because you have to do something between calls.

I've also worked in a call center. What a horrible place to take your kid to work

I've done a couple tours myself, it's no picnic

I feel it's one of those jobs that everyone should do at some point in their life. That or customer / food service. Either exposes you to some of the rudest, most entitled people, and if everyone had that exposure I feel there'd be more empathy to go around

I tell you though, hearing people yell at your mom all day is great motivation to stay in school to find a better job
