Fortunately or unfortunately, they don't seem to be moving towards that
point very quickly. The thing about a lot of them is that they are into
the field solely for the money and thus lack passion for the art. It
shows, in my experience.


This is a complaint among companies that use them (companies, in other
words, that deserve what they get.) The turnover rate at most of those
places is several hundred percent a year and as soon as the techs get
english and tech skills under their belt, they jump to a higher-paying job.
So the outsourcing companies are spending fortunes training employees who
leave only three or four months after completing the training, and their
images are being dragged through the mud because customers are getting
****ed at having to repeat themselves over and over just to get simple
things done.

AAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Suck on THAT, Dell. Hewlett-Packard seems to have
outsourced its own internal support.

Now they're starting to pull back to domestic employment because it simply
works better. It's the exact sort of spiralling and selfish idiocy that led
to the near destruction of the dot com industry.

How Foreign Outsourcing Firms Are Capturing State Government Contracts

"...Interviews with EBT officials in every state and the District of
Columbia reveal that:

o Before the offshoring controversy began, the call centers for 42 states
and the District of Columbia were operating offshore. In most cases,
this occurred because the states gave EBT contracts to Citibank
Electronic Financial Services, which in turn subcontracted the call
center work to an Indian firm called MsourcE. (In 2003 Citibank sold
the business to J.P. Morgan Chase, which continued to use MsourcE.)
A smaller number of states ended up with offshore call centers through
their EBT contracts with eFunds Corporation or Affiliated Computer
Services Inc.

o As a result of the controversy, one state (New Jersey) has brought its
call center back to the United States, and five states (Arizona, Kansas,
North Carolina, Oregon and Wisconsin) are planning to do the same.

o Eight states (Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Ohio, Texas,
and Wyoming) avoided the use of offshore call centers because they hired
EBT contractors that used domestic facilities."

It must be an odd experience to deal with a welfare case whose annual
income is greater than yours.

The relative amounts of income are unimportant; it's what that money can buy. I'd bet
the call center employees live better on their pay than a welfare recipient does
here.

How much would you be willing to bet, George? We can work something out.
Hell, I'll give you odds.
