Handy hint:
If it's unsolicited, it's dodgy.
Unless you have no other choice taking a job in telesales, door-to-door sales or anything of the kind marks you out as a piece of shit.
Unsolicited sales is mugging by legal means.

Oh I know that.
Like I said, desperation. It was just the sheer cheek of demanding about £1,100 off each of your workforce. That's spectacularly dodgy. I don't know how they got anybody at all to work there.

Sorry, I was mainly venting.
There's something about unsolicited sales which makes my blood boil.
I think it's something about turning every knock at the door, phone call, or conversation in the street into a potential attempt at theft.

Its actually quite clever in its own, evil, way
I imagine Telesales has a high turnover of staff. Putting newcomers into your debt would encourage them to stay at least a little longer. Also means that for the period of employment (as I doubt many people would stay beyond the debt being paid off) they can get away with paying below minimum wage.

Quite cunning, albeit like a fox made professor of cunning at McDonalds University, and then sacked for being a fraud.
