I got a voice message (I saw the call, but let it go to voicemail. I basically screen my calls) -- a real person, not a bot, recording, or call center -- from a local factory wondering if anyone "in our congregation" was looking for work. I recognized the name of the factory. They're definitely local.
So now factories are seeking blue-collar workers by cold-calling every church (large, small, and tiny) in their area. Unprecedented!
I mean, they're not just calling big churches, but even tiny ones located in residential areas. They're that desperate!
