When I had my training, I was required to be in continuous Zoom calls for at least 5-6 hours in the day and I was asked to have my webcam on constantly. That isn't healthy.
- QA metrics are designed for that high CSAT score, but they are unrealistic to maintain, and you are reduced to acting like a robot in order to meet those standards.
