Could you find it in your heart to feel sorry for a telemarketer?
How about a junkmailer?
How about a guy who does both?
For the record: I couldn’t. These are industries built on insensitivity. I’m just returning the favor.
Anyway here’s the most odd story I’ve read in a while: Tears of a junk mail magnate. It recounts the story of a failing telemarketing firm that resorts to direct mail in an attempt to prevent bankruptcy.
It’s a real sob story. I don’t mean that sarcastically — when confronted about the direct mail piece, the owner of the telemarketing firm broke down crying.
