I hear you on that one. People love to complain and moan of telemarketers. I've done the same work to pay the rent and eat. However, the same jerks would have more than something to say if we chose not to work and somehow lived off the government. We would then be told to get a f%cking job! When I hear of complaints of people doing "those" jobs, I will tell them to just hang up when they get a call because the person is required to rebuttal a "no" as the calls are monitored, tell the employee to put them on the DNC list, and then I ask if the complainers want to support unemployment cheques for all in that line of work if they just quit and can find no other job. Not everyone is going to be the CEO of Bank of America or have another great job waiting for them. Many of us have had to work scut jobs to survive.
