The Daily Teaser …

You know, I’ve got to admit, I’ve had a rather odd experience …

At least I think I’ve had an odd experience …

Remember, I mentioned I had an interview, yesterday? Well, I looked the company up online.

Let’s just say I’m seeing either fluff, or complaints about them, or the parent group.

To the point where I’m wondering all sorts of stuff.

A couple of things got me thinking, I know that: the reception staff seemed very young. And the chap interviewing me seemed very keen to let me know the maximum earnings.

But not the average ones.

Which is another thing, the job concerned is all commission.

Literally, all commission. With on actually basic listed.

Or given, either.

He didn’t want to be too specific about exactly what they did, or who their clients were: they’re a marketing company for hire, but beyond that …

Let me know what you think, folks … !

Let’s get cracking on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Trevor, Simon, and Elizabeth — Pink and extremely Fluffy, as ever — putting in their answers, with Angela becoming — once again — our Resident Officially Stumped Person!
