Telemarketers and Karma

I don't know what is worse, dealing with telemarketers at home or at work.  Most of the time you don't know where they are calling from or what their real names are.   At work it's usually the same old question "Who's in charge of blah blah blah?" or "What is your General Manager's name?".  I usually just answer these questions with "I'm sorry I cannot give out that information but I will be happy to take a message and have someone return your call".  Usually they reply with "Oh that's okay I will call back later" or they just hang up.

Well today was altogether different.  A young man called and said "Hi is your GM available?" I said "May I ask who's calling?" and he flat out told me his real name or what sounded like a real name and then said what company he is from.  I then smiled and put him on hold for a second and picked the phone up and said "I'm sorry he's not available at the moment."  So then he says "Well what is his name and does he take care of your printing products?".  I said in a pleasant tone, "I'm sorry I cannot give out that information, but...".  The moron cut me off and said "Wow bitch like it's a real top secret". then hung up on me. 

I was furious, I know he was doing his job but that was uncalled for.  So I looked up his so called company name and found out it was real and called them up and asked if (insert name the guy gave me) worked there and they said "Yes he does, but I'm just an operator let me transfer you to his manager".  Well I know most of these managers don't really care they just want to make a sale but the lady I spoke with was really nice as I explained the situation and how rude her employee was.  She said that they do not tolerate that behavior and was really sorry.   Whether anything is actually done about this, it felt good knowing that he was caught being a dick and I found him.  I would of loved to see the look on his face though when his manager said something to him.   Anyway back to work, today is my Friday and I got a lot of stuff to get done!  Until next time....tootles.
