The level of stupidity in the business world...

I have a phone line for my Apolo Productions work. The phone is listed as "Apolo Productions."

I get constant calls from Vendors that want me to lease credit card machines. I also get calls from agencies who want to list us.

So far this has got to be one of the stupidest script bound callers I have ever received:

Oof. I'm a bank teller, and I'm telling you, if I didn't need this job badly, I would have already moved down to Seattle and applied at credit unions. Bank ethics seem to be about benefitting the banks and protecting the banks much more than they are about customer service, despite the image they put out.

The people making these calls have to go through the script EXACTLY as written, or they get punished by having points deducted from their monitoring scores. If they deviate too much, they can be fired. I know this firsthand, since I used to do telemarketing.

...which is why they should never rely on humans to do a job that a computer can do so much better!
