wonder where this goes
How do you think you got a job there? It's funny to see you complaining about the 'quality' of your future colleagues when you are a 'non-target with a dismal GPA'. Maybe they will be complaining about the quality of you when you join.
I mean, what do you want us to say? You're working a back office job in (presumably) a low wage/low cost of living town. It doesn't exactly lead to master of the universe positions.
I actually lol'd.

I may know what BB and location you're talking about. If you want to pm me I can probably give you some candid advice if it's the one im thinking.
DB Jax?
Sounds very much like DB...I don't understand why some people apply for gigs they hated even before starting the application process - only apply to the jobs you really want.
you sound like a douche canoe. there's a large operations center where I am and some good friends of mine worked there and still do. many of those ops centers are way too big to generalize the way you are. it's probably group specific and most of those places have turnover every year so it could've sucked 1 year ago but it could be sweet now.
either way, keep an open mind and thank your lucky stars you're in the southeast.
