I have a Costco credit card. Got a sudden late notice + $30 charge for a bill I could swear was due in May according to the website, but the email said April instead. Anyway, looked at my bank account and saw a transfer in April 2023 for "Costco card - late payment?" so I guess they just do this poo poo every year around this time. gently caress you Costco Card!

Beached Whale posted:i know we rag pretty hard on online advertising here, but sometimes i don't think we give them enough for how well they manage to continually make things even stupider for everyone involved A bunch of different platforms have these "automated" ad tools and I'm honestly shocked to see a professional advertiser acting like they've ever been good. It's just gambling. You shove money into the box with very little (or no) control over what you're paying for and hope that more money comes out the other side. These tools will routinely churn your entire daily budget serving ads to people in countries that literally can't buy whatever you're selling. I'm convinced that there's a good portion of targeted advertising that performs worse than just blindly serving ads to any eyeballs that show up.

 https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-beginning-how-prison-run-call-center-changed-my-life-walenciak You see, four of Televerde’s nine call centers are staffed entirely by women in the Arizona State Prison complex in Perryville. They have a fifth call center run by women in the Indiana State Correctional Facility in Rockville.

https://www.forbes.com/forbes/2010/0628/companies-televerde-hitachi-netapp-cisco-salvation-at-center.html?sh=a19677921841 Andria Goodwin is in her cubicle. She has her headset on and is in the middle of trying to sell an indifferent manager at a big insurance company on the idea of buying a very expensive database software package. He wants to back out: "This sounds like a conversation for our IT staff." Goodwin has heard that one before. "Why? You'll be the one using this stuff," she says in a matter-of-fact tone. He pauses, then gives in. He agrees to a follow-up call the next week. Goodwin beams, knowing she converted a cold call into a solid lead. "If you follow a script, you'll fail every time," she says. At the end of her shift Goodwin, 38, will head back to her cell block at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Perryville, 25 miles west of Phoenix. She's almost done serving her five-year sentence for fraud. ... But Goodwin clawed her way back toward a semblance of a respectable life and had a job waiting for her upon her release in April, thanks to a company called Televerde, which operates four call centers at Perryville. Televerde is staffed by 250 "ladies," as they proudly prefer to be called, who show up for their shifts in bright orange jumpsuits. They submit to strip searches and are sometimes heckled by the guards, but once they've put on that headset, these women are in another world. "You get your dignity back," says Goodwin, who also had $8,000 in savings waiting for her on the other side. ... Televerde generated $12.1 million in revenue last year and is growing profitably. Hooker's customers are some of the biggest names in tech: Cisco , NetApp , Hitachi , SAP . A signed poster from Bill Gates hangs on several walls in Perryville: "To Televerde, Keep up the great work." These firms discreetly rely on Televerde's women to sell complex, multimillion-dollar software and hardware systems. Says Cisco sales manager Christina Foley: "Their technical aptitude is off the charts." ... A dozen former inmates who now work for Televerde are gathered around a boardroom table. They're joking about who will eat the first cookie and swapping turnaround stories. Amy Heiser, a woman who entered Perryville at 19 and pregnant, has tears in her eyes. "Prison was the best thing that ever happened to me," she says. The room is silent for a second, and then everyone roars. "Me, too," one gal chimes. "Absolutely," says another. "No doubt."

I was also doing a graveyard gig recently that included watching critical animals that were left overnight at a privately owned vet and lmao I am not qualified to be doing that those animals would be hosed if there was an emergency. At least at my other job they specifically do *not* allow that so that's respectable at least.

If the employees are literal prisoners then you don't have to worry about them running off to a less lovely job, I suppose. yeah, they're apparently paying federal minimum wage which for someone in prison is unheard of. it's like an entirely separate, untapped pool of labor for the most despicable capitalists; their alternatives as prisoners include getting out totally broke, shoving stuff into their bodily cavities for commissary dollars, or other ripoff prison "employment" options that pay $0.50 an hour or thereabouts

"We spend at least 30% less on turnover-related training with Televerde employees compared to other call centers," says Nina Simosko, a senior vice president at SAP. For the past three years the German software giant has had Televerde pitching business software to chief information officers at midsize businesses.

that call center thing is somehow worse than I thought. It's one thing to do lovely tech support or sign people up for credit cards or argue cell phone payments, but that sounds very close to doing sales. I guess maybe they're just lining up leads for the real sales engineer/sales guy duo but I would have expected these women to get some percentage cut as commission if the sale goes through. but in retrospect that seems pretty naive! people making sales calls for flat minimum wage, incarcerated or not seems like a remarkably lovely deal. probably 6+ figure cisco and netapp deals and you get nothin, boo
