I worked as a telemarketter for 2 months, and I don't have any particular sympathy for them. I still treat them pretty much the same way I did before I did any of it. That said, it's actually pretty easy to get rid of a telemarketter if you care enough. The worst thing you can do is hang up on them, because they'll just call you back. Even if you are not on the official no-call list, if you tell a company not to call you back, that company is legally obliged not to call you back, at least in Canada and the U.S. Of course if you have the option to get on a no-call list you should be all means do so. Swearing, threatening, hanging up, these are all completely ineffectual means of getting rid of telemarketters.
Part of the reason I got out of the job was because I entirely sympathized with the people swearing at me on the other end of the line. And I was like "yeah, why am I calling you in the middle of dinner?" and "yeah, you're right sir, you don't need our product".
What do you think of Telemarketers?
