All telemarketing jobs should come with a mandatory gun at the desk for when you want to opt out. Of life.  P.S., I worked telemarketing for a year. It blows. Don't ever go into telemarketing, even as a stopgap for paying the bills. Cost-benefit is better to be a stripper/prostitute than a telemarketer.

Phobic Nest posted:The guy in charge of the place was clearly a lot dumber than his subordinates, it was the damnedest thing. All he seemed to know how to do was yell at random workers over random things, often when they were in the middle of calls. I got called into a meeting one time for some question about the files and the dude stormed in to yell at everybody for having a meeting instead of doing real work, whatever that would be. He was an rear end but possibly the most miserable guy in the place, having stewed in the cancer longer than most. At my call center, the head manager would patrol the cubicles and confiscate phones if people were caught using them at their desk between queued calls to be released at the end of their shift. It's like high school all over again, but worse.

moller posted:Worked at a call center doing ISP support like a decade ago. You couldn't fix anything and were basically there as a grief counselor/pressure release valve. People were upset that their service was crappy but felt better after yelling at someone for a while. Yeah same. Call center phone lines are prima facie evidence of why the USA needs an actual, functioning mental healthcare system.
