As I pay my own health insurance, I needed a job, but after owning a restaurant, and then managing one, I really didn’t want to work for anyone.

I answered an advertisement in the paper for a marketing company.  It was to phone people with surveys.  I could pretty much pick the times I wanted to work.  It only paid $7 an hour, but I figured I would give it a try.  They also offered a $150 bonus if you worked for 3 months.

That should have told me that they couldn’t keep their workers.  I signed up and went to work 3 evenings a week from 5.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m.

We had to clock in, and even if we were early, had to stand and wait until it was a minute before 5.00 p.m.  Then we filed to our computers, which were on long tables.  It was like a conveyor belt.

From the first day I wondered how long I would stay.
