Way back I worked at a call center for “Explore Talent”. We were located in Oregon but had to tell everyone we were in LA. They even had the LA weather forecast written on the board so we could comment on the weather. Super slimy job taking advantage of desperate people giving them false hope for money. I didn’t last the month.
I can kind of get the logic behind this if you were an overseas call center. If you're already based in the US, why lie? I can't imagine why a call center would think being located in CA instead of OR would make the slightest difference.
You can't fathom why claiming LA for a talent agency would legitimize more than Orgun? 🤔
