If every relay operator who hated their job quit tommorrow, there would not be any one left on the phones. There were 30 people in my class, a year ago, 23 of them quit the first month. On average, they bring in a new training class every other week. Most of them do not last two weeks. Trust me, there are only two types of relay operators, those new on the job and those looking for other jobs. I send out about five applications a week. In between listening to kids playing on the phone because that they think it is amusing to hear us voice things that they are too chicken shit to say out loud, nigerian scammers and a host of other problems, being a relay opr is probably one of the worst jobs that I have ever had. You want to know the bad part? Most of us take the job because we feel like that we want to do a good service to the deaf community. Well, the phone companies think otherwise, cause 90 percent of what I get are kids playing, Nigerian fraud calls, and then once and a great while I get to do the job that I was actually hired to do. So trust me, ALL relay operators HATE their jobs. We hate our jobs because we so very rarely get the job that we are hired to do.
