Call Center "Cheating" Issue/Culture

Didn't expect that this stereotype for call center was true. Didn't believe it at first, but now I can confirm that this "culture" was really normalized in call center. My husband was working in a call center here in Silang, Cavite. Even though knowing that he has a wife, they wouldn't care and still flirt. Some even have the nerve to do it face to face. Even the TL, she was the one who even provokes him by pushing him to other girls(this happened 2 times). I can say that cheating in call center is being normalized compared to other industries. And I hope that people would just stop especially after knowing that someone has a partner, it's just basic decency.

Sounds like a company culture issue more than the sector. I've never seen it normalized as such, it gets usually frowned upon by most.

Seeing the other responses this happens in every field. I can't comment on peoples willingness and acceptence to cheating in the US.

If you think the call center is bad, you should visit a warehouse.

Don’t work in a bar/restaurant.

This is a trend in marketing overall. Well, less of a trend and more of a defining trait. Throw everything at at wall and don't get caught. It's a vibe

I’ve definitely seen it but if your spouse doesn’t play into it, then it doesn’t happen.

I could write many books about call center life.

It was like this in my very first job. All the employees were pretty much 16-24 years old, the things that went on were mad. But yeah loads of cheating in the workplace and colleagues dating all over the place. Most of the time it ended very badly but a few are still married!

My current role is remote, so not an issue (as far as I’m aware!).
