But this also proves something. From what you've written you knew you were doing something that was wrong. As one example:
"We sold worthless stuff trying to pursued (sic) them into using it over much better and more established companies"
But you had to earn a living so you did that. Now I don't know what your particular situation was or how badly you needed the job (proverbial relative dying of cancer or you would be homeless?) but it might be the same premise that the people running the business operate under. Everybody of course draws the line at a different point in terms of the "harm" they are willing to do. They feel that what they do is ok or possibly de-minimis but what someone else is doing on a larger scale (a guy who did what you did for 20 years or owned the business) is "bad".
I'm curious (and not being judgmental that you worked there as we all have different lines) why you kept that job when you saw what they were doing?
I was young and like stated, I needed a job and wasn't picky. Not to mention when I started I didn't know what exactly was going on, because I was part of another section that sold the Boston Globe newspaper before moving to the shady side.
I only worked there for 3 months, then I told my boss to go fuck herself and walked out.
Edit: and no offense taken, if you have any questions in regards to what little bit I do know about such a crappy industry let me know. I am somewhat knowledge in it.
Funny enough my current job is at a call center for a GPS company. I don't do any calling though.
It's pretty obvious - he needed to feed & cloth himself. For some, (perhaps you?) there must be some catastrophic event to create day to day money problems. For many people, especially the often young students or mothers who work these jobs, day to day money problems are just a fact of life. Should people plan better so they don't have to compromise and do things they disagree with? Of course, but that isn't everyone's reality.
edit: Or maybe he just wanted money for Spring Break...
