I really hope that no one here would ever do this, and I don't think any of you would, but just as a generic reminder: don't ever share survey codes.
I always wonder about those surveys that give you the completion code but then still want you to click through to the next page to "complete" the survey. I'm sure I've closed out a window prematurely after getting my code once or twice, and I wonder if that is a real thing and that's what happened to this guy?

in the old days I was a telemarketer. we had no rules. my boss slept under his desk. we dialed the phones by hand.

do you want to buy a keychain? no? why not? oh I already called here 3 times today and now it's 9 pm where you are? sorry I'll call back tomorrow.
thank god for cell phones, cause they can't do that so much anymore, no autodialers allowed, read that somewhere, so it might be bullshit as well

Someone mentioned that in the comments there. I'm wondering if that's what happened, too. It seems more likely that than 40 people sharing a code for a $0.10 survey.

words like excellent, fantastic, wonderful.

The conversation was supposed to go similar to this.

Me: Thank you for calling customer service, my name is Jaded, how can I assist you today?
Customer: blah blah blah
Me: I'd be delighted to help you with that today, first can I have you account number?
Customer: blah blah numbers bitching
Me: Fantastic, let me take a moment to pull up your account
Customer: bitching about hold music.
Me: *empathy noises*
<lots of bull shit later>
Me: Well, it was wonderful assisting you and I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day.
Customer: You're so full of shit.

Me later: 100 QA score.
It's those "flair" words that put my teeth on edge. Just be freaking REAL and don't shoot sunshine up my ....ear.

seriously? damn that would suck, wondered when I called places they would do that shit. Just find out my answer and then come back on the line...
Yup. Because the only people who take customer satisfaction surveys are the people who are pissed at having been put on hold for an hour, so to try to make people happier, they have you do inane shit that just infuriates them more, then can't figure out why people still think your customer service is a fucking joke.

Stupid people who have no phone experience write the rules.

Which was why I was required to use at least 3 "delight words" during calls at BoA. I still do that now like 7 years later. I hate you BoA
I...do this automatically, no matter what. My first phone job, when I was still in training, one of the leads was walking the floor and talked to my trainer about me cos I was all "No, thank YOU so super much, you have a lovely afternoon!" on every damn call and she thought I might have been a rehire or something. I'm really good at disguising my loathing for everyone when I'm on the phone.

See, I like this.
I like to be quiet, and listen, hear what people are doing. Or just to be told shh I'll be right back.
You're also not allowed to be silent for too long or QA will ding you for that because no one is good at estimating time on the phone and they automatically think you've disconnected the call if you don't talk.

Example

Caller: What the fuck is wrong with you people, why is my bill 52¢ higher than usual?
Me: I can definitely look into that for you, one moment while I pull that up.
[five seconds later]
Me: Sorry, my system is a little laggy right now, I only just got to your bill, let me pull up your previous months to see where the discrepancy is.
Caller: JFC, why can't you just tell me?
Me: I am absolutely trying to find this information for you, just another moment while I...a ha! I see that this month there is a charge for [insert some dumb tax].
Caller: I don't understand why that was never there before.
Me: [looks at account for ten seconds]
Caller: HELLO?! [to someone else] I THINK SHE HUNG UP ON ME.
Me: No, I'm still here, just looking at your recent address change. Is [new city] in a different county?
Caller: What does that have to do with anything?
Me: It looks like your new county has a telecom tax [blahblahblah, bullshit I mostly made up that sounded good, but was at least somewhat accurate] that the previous county didn't.
Caller: That's fucking stupid.
Me: Ha! Not gonna disagree with you there, sir. Have a fantastic evening and thanks for choosing the only wireless company that provides service in your area!

How long do the Chi's take to do? Looks like it can take a bit to try and find the right link.

I hope they weren't from the survey I did this morning. As soon as I accepted, the right code was already there. I did the actual survey and double checked, but I can see how people would just submit.

Oh, I had one like that the other day. The code was already put in like password dots, but I still did the survey and replaced with the code I got. Weird.

They take me 15-20s apiece, but I imagine others might do them a little faster/more efficiently
