I USED TO DO TELEMARKETING TO FEED MY FAMILY OR THEY WOULD STARVE IN THE PAST. I HATED EVERY MINUTE OF THAT JOB AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE DO WHO DO WORKED THERE. I QUIT AS SOON AS I COULD AND WHILE YOU PUT UP WITH A PHONE CALL TO MESS WITH THEM, YOU AT MOST WASTED FIVE MINUTES. TRY BEING THEM FOR EIGHT HOURS DEALING WITH SHITHEADS WHO DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO BUT MAKE YOUR JOB HARDER.
I'm not saying hear them out, I hardly ever do but please understand that they are doing something that most of you probably aren't doing (I am not saying ALL, just those assholes who think this crap is funny.) and that is working instead of leeching money from their parents. Way to make them proud, now grow the hell up.
I agree with this person, even though I've never been a telemarketer. Some people have worse jobs than others and I can see how calling up dissinterested people for 8 hours using the same lines over and over would be pretty soul sucking. Then to get some juvenile idiot mess around with you whilst you're trying to pay your way? Fuck that.
It's as bad as the fucking kids who used to throw stuff at buses like eggs or in my area, iron bars, thinking it's a jolly good laugh to make a mess of someones day.
How difficult is it to not pick up when you see a number that you don't recognize? Or better yet, tell everyone you actually want to be able to contact you to only use your mobile, and ignore the landline completely?
