If you are like me, you get tired of being called 100 times a day by call centers despite being on the do not call list. Usually I am polite. But sometimes I snap. Too many calls I don't want selling me insurance or dish network or whatever and I get somewhat snappish to the call center worker.

Keep this in mind next time you are tempted to snap and a poor, underpaid call center worker:

At a call center in Indiana, 40 call center workers were so disgusted by lies the McCain campaign wanted them to read to people they called that they sacrificed a day's pay and walked out. Yes...McCain is THAT BAD!

From Talking Points Memo:

Some three dozen workers at a telemarketing call center in Indiana walked off the job rather than read an incendiary McCain campaign script attacking Barack Obama, according to two workers at the center and one of their parents.

Nina Williams, a stay-at-home mom in Lake County, Indiana, tells us that her daughter recently called her from her job at the center, upset that she had been asked to read a script attacking Obama for being "dangerously weak on crime," "coddling criminals," and for voting against "protecting children from danger."

Williams' daughter told her that up to 40 of her co-workers had refused to read the script, and had left the call center after supervisors told them that they would have to either read the call or leave, Williams says. The call center is called Americall, and it's located in Hobart, IN.

"They walked out," Williams says of her daughter and her co-workers, adding that they weren't fired but willingly sacrificed pay rather than read the lines. "They were told [by supervisors], `If you all leave, you're not gonna get paid for the rest of the day."

Sometimes you read a story that restores your faith in human decency...and remind you that those call center workers are good folks who are just forced to do a lousy job to make a buck. I can just hear Jimmy Stewart playing the role of whichever worker first stood up and called foul. Bravo!
