My wife works for a Telemarketing company which is Heavily republican
Edited on Mon Nov-01-10 09:17 PM by redirish28
leaning (Thankfully they have respected my wife who refused to read anything she felt uncomfortable with.) She mostly handles customer service calls for a company and is not in the companies political division but at times when calls are slow for what she normally does they find other files for her to call in on.

Now she was off today and I check the messages to find that they are asking her to work a VERY speical program tomorrow and are asking her to stay extra.

Who wants to make a bet that it has something to do For the Republicans...

She really hates going to work on days like tomorrow... She hates herself by the end of the day.



(Edit: I mean my wife not my mother. Sorry trying to talk to my mother and type this at the same time. Not good.)

2. I feel sorry for your mother.
That sounds like a special kind of living hell.

3. Phone jamming
I'll bet it's phone jamming. Clogging up the Voter Information lines.

Tell her to walk out if it's anything like that.

4. She needs the job and unfortunately we can't afford her to do that.
She walks out they could say she quit.

12. Then she needs to be meticulous and document, document, document.
I bet she could prove wrongdoing if that is in fact what they're going to have her do.

11. Today sounds like a good to be a slacker or spill coffee on the equipment.
Good luck. I'm sorry she has to put up with those people.
