Having worked in phone support I can tell you what this actually means. We were ranked according to three metrics: productivity (calls per hour), customer satisfaction (% of surveys responded to with satisfied or very satisfied post call), and quality (periodic random checks of calls we took where you got a % score and various demerits subtracted from it if you did or didn't do certain things, like all the crap they make you say at the end of the call).

Higher ranking in those got you the choice of better shifts and slightly higher raises (maybe), and there were minimums to hit in each.

So yeah, that message means they're probably using random calls to do QA checks on their employees.

    One of the reasons why whenever I get decent person on phone support I always mention that they need a raise.

    Comments like "Your boss is a fucking moron if he doesn't give you a massive raise for putting up with this shit."

    I always hope my call is one of those that get randomly reviewed.
