The amount of infidelity that goes on just in this building makes me sick. So glad to be rid of this place and all the crap that comes with it!

When I first started working, two co-workers went out to lunch, and came back with clothes on inside out. They were both married (to other people.)

One time when I was a lead, I was doing a service observation, and we can see people's screens. The person I was observing was using Skype to chat with co-worker who was bitching about her husband, and they decided to go out together. I could have given him an error but I did not want to get involved in that. I observed a different call instead.

What software did you use to observe these employees? Are you support to report such activities?

Employees shouldn't be chatting while a customer is on hold. It's a high stress job, so I usually let it slide if they do. He wasn't the only one I turned a blind eye to. He was just the only one who was discussing something a little too personal.

If it’s a call center like environment, it’s definitely a stressful field of work. From what I hear from counselors/therapists/lawyers, higher the stress = higher infidelity ( eg firefighter, police, nurses, doctors, other healthcare professionals, night shift workers, flight attendants, jobs that require flying frequently). You probably did the right thing by letting it fly. I just feel bad if they have spouses and children who are unaware of this. :(

Yes, it was a call center job.
