I don't think that's necessarily the case.

1--These people might actually believe that they're offering a good service (i.e. Someone at Discover really thinks that me getting another Discover card is going to be the best thing for me since sliced bread). I don't think the sole purpose of telemarketers is to piss me off.

2--Depending on the gullability of said employee, one may be easily tricked into doing stupid telemarketing.

I generally only get pissed at a telemarketer when they call and I'm expecting another call. I haven't stayed on the line with a telemarketer since the call in the previous thread I mentioned. I can generally tell when it's a telemarketer on the phone, and I hang up on them right away.
