In the west they are seen as sweatshops for the underpaid, underskilled and overworked, but in India call centre jobs are highly sought after by well-educated middle class professionals. They get to watch reruns of The Bill and learn about English football in comfortable air-conditioned offices.

No that is the future call centers, when all this terrorist shit is over in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Damn US provide reconstruction just as they have always done in a war and then Abdullah now owns Oklahoma City instead of Japanese.Plus they will start with the damn aggravating call centers. Hello my name is "Peggy".

First, their names are not Bill or Bob or Sue - It is something much longer. When you tell the caller "NO" - that word is not in their vocabulary. They will continue to pressure you into something. They are actually the "Rude" ones. Some callers also have a much heavier accent and cannot be understood.

@HOMERJSIMPSON9000 I think many call centre employees are rude. Don't generalise the Indians and say they are the only rude ones.

indian local infrastructure is HORRENDUS, people tap into public lines/pipes/etc... all the time.
in fact that is why cell phones are so ridiculously prolific there, as they do not require a land line.
