Useful for humanity. Because "useful for employee" or "useful for employer" are bad measures that allow really stupid things to exist.

This job is based on lying and/or deceiving to people to trick them into buying somethng. Whoever is paying for it is actively hurting other humans. In a way it's worse than bullshit - it's a malicious job.



Are you implying that there is no place for malicious jobs in society?


I am. Before someone brings up the military - you can say that armed forces are built on malice, but the harm is at least directed towards other societies. Telemarketing is basically hurting members of your own.


Before we start, what do you define as a telemarketer?

And how do you define usefulness for humanity?
