I did a few searches and I can’t find it. It was incoming call work. Our receptionist got canned and I thought it would be perfect for her as she is visibly pregnant pregnant and most companies aren’t looking to hire and train someone who is going to be around for a few months and then take off for maternity leave.

If anyone recalls this thread, that would be great.

Mechanical Turk is legit, but the income potential is very very low.

I think I remember a thread where \*\*monstro \*\*was talking about a home employment opportunity over the phone? Not 100% sure though.

It wasn’t Mechanical Turk. It may have been monstro who mentioned it. I will search their posts. Thank you.
