<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2741465, member: 76194&quot;]One of the odd jobs I had right after high school and before college was as a telemarketer making calls for a Texas based power company. My job was to tell customers who had made payments for 10 years without ever being late that they were getting a check in the mail with a rebate as a thank you from the company, and to be on the lookout for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>People would curse at me and call me a thief even after telling them that I did not need any personal information from them, and all they had to do was keep an eye on the mail for their rebate check from the power company. I even had a tiny minority of people launch into racial rants, or shout NAZI slogans as they assumed that all telemarketers were probably based in Asia, so I must be Asian (neither of which was the case.) I&#039;m at least thankful that it only happened to me on rare occasions (probably two dozen times out of roughly tens of thousands of people I called)</p><p><br /></p><p>Not a pleasant job. Anyway, I just thought you may want to hear the perspective from the other side. Look, they are not bad people, just people doing an unpleasant job.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
