Okay, so, I just found out that I'm being laid off. My department is being completely dissolved.

I'm really sad, because I was doing full remote data entry, and I've never been happier with a job in my life. My mental health has never been better, either.

So, can anyone point me towards a fully-remote position that involves working with data, not phones? I swear, I'm super qualified and really good at this. I work hard, and I'm dependable. In the USA.

Please boost

@thekimmy You might give a bit more details - e.g. in what country you are. Even if it's a remote job, you still need to have permission to work in different jurisdictions.

@thekimmy ok I work fully remote and it is all phones but its INCOMING only absolutely NO sales at all. I take donation calls for PBS which is super seasonal with 4 main drives per year but they have tons of other non profit clients, lots of bogus religious ones I cannot stomach, but aspca st jude operation smile mercy ships wwf some really worthy causes. You can pick and choose your hours and clients. Pay is absolute crap except at pledge drives then its nuts and you can work every hour you can stay alert. ACD Direct is the company if you are still reading this : ) #remotework #nonprofit work

Do health systems still need data entry? Used to be very common.

@thekimmy If you can, I’d strongly suggest looking into technical writing roles as well. I did it before I got hit with health stuff and it was very relaxed.

I’d also definitely check with contracting agencies like Experis and Robert Half!

@thekimmy Inbound only phones acceptable? If so, I’ve got a lead on a niche role supporting software used by professionals.

Lead time is probs 30 to 90 days, day one bennies including PPO insurance I’m thrilled with, and a strong corp culture of respect etc. The pay is more than reasonable for the role, raises and bonuses handled fairly, etc.

@thekimmy Also worth a mention that they handle disabilities well and with defined procedures in place, and the health insurance is pretty damn decent and affordable even with spouse coverage. First is anecdotal mostly, though my direct boss has handled my allusions to fish for clarity quite well.

Second is personal experience. One negative exp w Caremark but they DID provide an objectively equivalent treatment. My preference, even experience based, is not really relevant unless alt hard fails
