Call Centers - An American perspective

This was something that happened last week @ my old job..
This American guy...he is a pretty nice guy, was telling me and another colleague abt one his exp with an Indian call center rep.
Apparently, he had a problem with one of his network router stuff and wanted help.
and so it went to someone in Bombay..apparently..not exactly sure where...

So..watever that female said, dint work out for him...and both of them were tired of it.

So it seems this guy told her, maybe there is something u r missing, why dont u get me to someone else or maybe to ur supervisor..

and so all of sudden, acc to him, that is, this lady goes berseck..and in an intimidating tone..
"oh now, u want to talk to my supervisor...eh and complain about me...Nope"


so this guy goes " So where are you from"

"India"

"oh Indian, ..."
at which point she just blew up on him and put the fone down...


Me and my colleague who was also Desi, couldnt control any much more, started laughing big time,
and told him, u probably deserve it man..
He was a very good friend, and ofcourse he knew we were just pulling his leg..

The point was, Wat kind of mentality has been created in India about Brash americans..

Good to see that girl giving it back to him...for watever he said...but the way he told me that, I thought it just slipped out and that he profusely apologised..

That reminds me of another guy, who was talking abt the call centers, and said there is a program that is going to be aired on prime time in the US, wherein participants are paid money to talk dirty to these call centers folks in India..

Apparently this is going to be a reality show..and they are going to have fun at the expense of these call center ppl..

Hmm...wonder what lawsuits NBC is going to face for this stupid show if it does go thro...

Way to go 'New India'.....Dont take it lying down...(any which way...for 'the twisted' minds...that is:P )

Dinner Time..

and soooo...back to the world of tags...

boy...and the lil birdie that tagged me says I shd invite jus 6 ppl for the dinner..Now now..thts unfair...and since therz nothing much I can do abt it..I'll just stick to the blog world..

I thought I cud call all the strip club dancers but then..on second thoughts I decided that shud be a private dinner with them..not public..:-D

So here goes my invite list..

(1) FFBW
(2) Vi
(3) Jeenu
(4) Bhole
(5) Snake man and
(6) EE

There are quite a few others in that list..Priya, Priyamvada, Archana, Shilpa, Mukund and sowmya.,to name a few, that missed out...and having them wud have been fun too, but I guess the 6 ppl limit quashes all that and I'd stick with ppl I ve knwn from the beginning here on blog world.

Well mainly...3 guys to 4 girls shd be good...:-D and ofcourse almost everyone knows the other...so the initial 'getting to knw' period is almost non existent..

(I knw, probably EE is kinda not known to the rest of the gp..but there has to be someone thts new and someone that everyone else can pick on....haaaa...EE my way of 'revenge')

Other than that, all are pretty nice ppl...and since all the femmes mentioned refuse to send me any pics..this is the best way to make them 'appear in person'...Im not sure abt Bhole and Snake man but I'd wanna assume they are in the same 'boat'..(Nice Analogy eh, If I go down, they go down too...:-D)

and since Vi ha sbeen anice girl to me, and I have already tagged Jeenu before, and that I remember that FFBW put me in trouble once, I'll pass on the tag to her...

and so the honorary membership of the tag club passes on to..

FFBW
Archana
Visithra and
Sowmya

Let good fortunes and tidings come ur way and let the cupid smile on u next month ..if you make it to the dinner and/or honor the tag...:-)

Drum up public support.....will ya..

Now now, this is a national issue...one that cuts across Citizens, Green card holders
naturalized citizens and other internationals whether legal or illegal..

After all, the perception that US is a free market is gonna change with this legislation. All the more reason...that people are worked up no less over this ruling..

"What is this fella talking about/....." I hear you people..

This is the issue...
and Im pretty much worked up over it..

There is a new rule...
A four-foot "no touch" zone shd be maintained as a buffer between strip club patrons and the exotic dancers who depend on their tips.

If enforced, the rule would preclude the ever-popular lap dances and the traditional manner of tipping dancers.

Boy...Shd I start a signature campaign now...:-D

Now are you thinking "It was far better when this guy dint post since new year..." arent you..;-)
