Activism: Something new I thought of doing . . . |
|
Edited on Fri Oct-27-06 11:56 AM by patrice
I have this old land-line phone number that I keep for faxes but don't answer the phone calls on it, because they're almost never anything but people trying to sell me stuff.
My recently un-employed (Again!) son was home the other day and he answered it and handed it to me - someone selling something again - I was polite, and told them I'd like to consider their offer, but my husband just lost his job AGAIN (which is also TRUE). He was out of work for almost 4 years the first time, and he was on this "new" job only 2 years before it was taken away. I could hear the worry in the callers voice when he responded to what I told him.
I have decided to answer my old land-line phone from now until November 7 and tell all of the commercial callers what's going on in the job market.

1. Good. Get the word of mouth out there |
|
that the customer base is drying up. That is a excellent tactic. That kind of news will filter up from the low ranks on the phones.

2. It is a SAD, but TRUE, fact. |
