Have you ever asked yourself this question “Why does this
guy earn this much in an IMS, while I work my ass off in the office and still
don’t get half as much as he does?” Well, think again!
Many often think that being a IMS agent is a breeze, walk
in, talk for a couple of hours, have a couple of cigarettes, go drink with
friends after shift and go home, and get a huge paycheck on payday. This is the
common thinking amongst those earn work for a living, compared to those who
earn to maintain their lifestyle.
Little do people know that there are a lot of sacrifices
needed to gain so much. Sleep, family time, and sometimes relationships. The
most common is sleep, since most IMSs operate during the night to match the
time in the country of which their clients do business. It is scientifically
proven that sleep is best taken during the night since this is the normal
behavior of the human body.
The second is not being able to spend as much time for
the family for those who have children or are taking care of other family
members. And third is sacrificing one’s relationship to focus on earning more
and being able to have a fruitful career in the industry.
These may look like simple sacrifices but if you look at
it closer and try putting yourself in their shoes, you would realize what these
people are losing to gain or maintain the current lifestyle in which most IMS
agents live. It is now very common to meet someone at an exclusive bar or club
and ask where they work or what they do and they would generally say in a IMS.
The industry not only provides opportunities for people to sustain a living for
their families, but also open up new horizons for some.
I have asked around and came across several individuals
who work in the industry and asked them what difference did they had from when
they worked in a conventional office job and the benefits they have received
from working in a IMS. One technical support agent said “I have worked in an IT
company before, where I worked the same number of hours, I definitely worked my
ass off and even got to the point that I almost drove myself crazy from the
load that I had, I didn’t have time to go out even during Saturday nights,
since I would devote myself to sleep and rest the whole weekend.
Now, I work the number of hours, but I definite don’t
have as much burden on my shoulders and I call it as Infra structure management
services. The only downside is that when I get home I feel alone on earth, when
I wake up to go to work my world is already asleep. The only time I get to
spend time with them is during the week off which again is never on the same
days every time.”
