Telemarketing Pays Off in $6.6 Billion Sale: Kid Who Made Call Bumped to $11.15/hr
After nearly 11 months of constant phone calls, MCI agreed to a $6.6 billion buyout from Verizon Wireless.
"It was unprecedented. They called every day at 8am sharp. Then they'd call at dinner too," moaned MCI as it apparently did not like a taste of its own medicine.
"How many times do I have to hear it? 'We're calling from Verizon to ask if you're satisfied with your current ownership' at least ten times a day." MCI reportedly tried altering its dinner schedule so it and its subsidiaries could eat in peace. The gambit failed. "They were relentless. Finally we said 'fuck it', if it will end these calls, let's change ownership."
No word yet as to how MCI is dealing with the 884 pieces of SPAM email in its Yahoo! mail account.
