Assuming it was federal minimum wage of $7.25/hr and he was working 60 hour weeks with 20 hours of time and a half pay at $10.875 it would take exactly 9,149,826 years working 3120 hours a year for a total of 28,547,457,120 hours worked. Or if satan is nice and lets him have more time off and jeff only has to work 40 hours a week then he will have to work 15,994,695 years or a total of 33,268,965,600 hours. If only hell were real so billionaires could be adequately punished.

Yep. Not a fan and I have some comments and suggestions, if I may?

We are experiencing higher than normal call volumes and hold times. Your call is important to us and will be answered in the order in which it was received

Can I get some music while I wait?? 🧐

A poorly ripped, grainy low quality mp3 that sounds vaguely like a song you heard once in some kind of office elevator plays, that is 23 seconds long, but is looped for a 30 second timer, then theres an unnaturally long pause before the "your call is important to us" message plays, completing a 1 minute time cycle.

The music starts again.

You, sir, (or madam) deserve a drafty spot in hell

No, the company that played this, that I remember such an exact shitty hold, does. I wish I could remember the name of the company too - I hate them so much for this. The fact you get the first 7 seconds of the song a second time, followed by the pause that makes you think someone picked up has got to be the most rage-inducing thing I have ever heard.
