| When You Hear The Heavy Accent & The Poor Phone Connection... HANG UP!!

I think you must know what I’m talking about. Together, a heavy foreign accent,
coupled with a lousy phone connection can only mean one thing... An outsourced
operation, in a place like India, China, The Philippines, etc.; where some
greedy American corporation is saving a few pieces of Silver and displacing
American workers in the process.
-
The best thing you can do is hang up... look for the companies’ on-shore counterpart
and complain! Tell them you’re sick and tired of sub-standard services by people
who speak English so poorly that you can hardly communicate... are most often
poorly trained... have little accountability for the advice they give you... often can’t be
heard clearly because of a poor satellite phone connection... conveniently block
their caller-ID... give themselves phony names like ‘Tina’ or ’Jimmy’ (to deceive you
into thinking they’re local) and most often provide no avenue to escalate an issue
to someone who can really help.
-
Corporations will only end this practice if they see they’re losing their customer
base as a consequence. Let’s start doing our part by starting a grass-roots
movement...

Exactly the point is providing shown, sure! You are making outsourcing

| Outsourcing of US jobs to overseas cost us jobs and money. In fact, this $
amount is about 1/3 of what we get by doing IS work for people overseas.
(although it is only 1/2 the jobs - we are outsourcing the cheap jobs, they our
outsourcing to us more expensive jobs).
Are you demanding that outsourced help get rid of their accents?
Or would you like to have all countries only use local labor?
Or would you like Our country to sell a lot more IS services to overseas than it
buys (the current situation).

They already do, normally. You normally only hear the accent when you
have a really tough technical question. Sort of like going to a Trade show
in
the old days. If you went to the IBM booth, you might see 19 guys with
white shirts and black suits, and one guy in a brown suit. The guy in the
brown suit was always a high level tech guy.

Spoonfuls of sugar don't always help the medicine go down, especially if it
is bitter fruit.

It is useful to remember that for some people, "a spoon full of sugar" is not at
all attractive.
