I doubt it.  The cost of recruitment in that market isn't at all high.
Far more productive is proving to the call centre's customers that

I think you're being needlessly melodramatic.  You and I may care.  More
people don't.  And there aren't any pictures of kittens to help.

On a similar note, I'm having a privacy row with the NHS over the way my
local Trust `counsels' for vasectomies.  Asking around, more than a few
of my peers regarded the thing as ludicrous as well, but just went along
for the sake of a quiet life.
