Call centers are often the most misunderstood department at most companies. The truth is, it takes a special person to work in the sales, service and support industry. It’s not easy, but the people who do it well are the coolest people on the planet. They also have a wicked sense of humor which is critical to flourish in this industry.

So I wanted to create a page dedicated to call center humor. I’ll share links, videos, articles, and would also love to hear from you and any funny stories you have!

I hope you enjoy!
