I'm just writing it here so people will know they can hurt others when they say mean things over the phone to people who call them for surveys.

I work as an interviewer at a call centre, getting people to do surveys. It's not the best job, but it is a job and better than no job.

I know a lot of people hate us. I'm OK with most people swearing at me and stuff, but that day, this guy hit a vulnerable spot with me.

He yelled at me to get a "real" job. This hurt me a great deal because I often think I'm a loser already and having this job is good for me.

I am always polite on the phones. We don't sell anything. We just ask people to do surveys. If you don't want to do the survey, we are OK with it, just say you're not interested. You don't have to be mean about it.
