Desk Jobs are the best jobs. I used to do Tech Support for take 2 interactive through a outsourced company called PoletoWinInteractive and it was so fun.

I love video games so taking calls from 13 year olds complaining about their Mycareer being corrupted didnt feel like work. Or getting calls about GTA Vs release date. Talking an elderly person into installing Civilization 5 on a windows 2000 PC felt great. We got to collaborate with other agents when we had issues, check out games for free, eat at out desks. The tier 3 agents didnt patronize us. I got to meet Ronnie 2K. When you love your job it really makes a difference.

It's too hard to explain, but basically it's a constant barrage of people asking why you suck at your job. Asking why things don't get done, when all they do is throw more work and projects at you while reducing headcount in your department. I get emails that are due the second I receive them. I have to recap issues that leadership already knows the source of.

We got a little bit of that, in a much different way of course. The company would downsize two months after a launch of a big title, then a patch would release causing emails and call volume to spike. It would take the company 2-3 weeks to transfer agents in meanwhile we had to deal with the increase workload. Sometimes the devs would get pissed if we didnt report new bugs fast enough even though we were being overloaded with problems. I guess I dealt with it better because I cared about the product. I couldnt imagine being swamped like that with something I had no interest in. I feel your pain.
