    Hardly. Does he want the moon on a stick at those rates?

    Carl used recruitment and Jobcentre websites to fill his telemarketing positions that would have earned the workers £100 basic pay in the first two weeks.

      I know what I'd do. 10 quid a day is taking the mick thats not even 2 pound an hour..

      Give me a break ...

      And he looks like a dodgy geezer if you ask me...

        Initially I thought typical workshy bastards.

        Then you realise it's £50 per week. So the 'He said he'd be better off on benefits' is fricking right.

        The guy is a cold calling parasite. Once many moons ago I tried to do cold calling telesales for a summer job. I lasted one evening. I hated it.

        You have to have a skin thicker than Churchill soaked in vinegar and baked in an oven for 10 hours coupled with an 'I'm gods gifts' attitude to even think of doing cold calling.

                It's at a .org.uk domain: they're supposed to be for non-profit organisations… yep, probably right
