Can you share a specific Teleperformance horror story?
I heard that in one Teleperformance center, there was a case of a major system failure. The employees had no prior warning. As a result, they couldn't access customer information or complete their tasks. But the management still expected them to handle the calls as usual, leading to a lot of angry customers and frustrated employees.
A particular Teleperformance horror story involved a team being given an extremely tight deadline to complete a project. The team was already short - staffed. They had to work overtime every day for weeks. There was no additional compensation for the overtime. And the management didn't seem to care about the employees' well - being at all. This led to a lot of employees quitting shortly after that project.

One horror story could be long working hours with little break. Workers might be forced to stay on calls for extended periods without proper rest, leading to burnout. Another could be unfair treatment by managers. For example, being scolded in front of colleagues for minor mistakes.
