(29,322 posts)I don't want to be a car salesman, I don't like to solicit random people for stuff or generally prefer something like that which is why I don't like to panhandle. I always never liked the phones or a phone job so I probably wouldn't want to be customer service either (I have tried and applied and generally get denied -- no experience) I have like once in the last several years and told "no", just would rather do something else for money. I'd rather do backbreaking, hard labor stuff and I have -- over a decade ago I could go in a labor office get sent out right away, every day. These days there will be 30+ people there and few tickets going out.
There is a telemarketing in my city called PCC. The job requirements are to solicit registered Republicans for donations to I don't know which Republican organization. The job would be very uncomfortable for me so I'd rather starve than do that. How about you?
I don't care what the right says. Telemarketing firms have very strong bargaining power over labor, turnover rates are high and the reason why they can cut under performers loose despite time & overall sales, benefits, security is because there are more coming in with postings of possibilities of how much money can they make and management of those firms (from higher above, usually independent for other firms like Dish) are ripping off from their customers & their workers. I'm striking for better wage security and a more ethical approach from the top.
