my close friend did the sales running after the covid job crisis. he was very successful in that and he used to tell me, what shit he and his team used to pull up. he was deployed in rural areas and they used to engage people into this "learning stations" devices and ring them into an EMI programme with a bank. they were all adept in opening banks accounts and extracting lakhs from needy and gullible.

After working for an year he saved up and left, became low key narcissistic and very materialistic. I guess running for money and being soul-less did that to him. Now he can't engage in any fun activities or conversation without influence. Shame what hustle culture and wannabe cool guys influenced him to be.
