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.

  • 'It's an achievement in india to make a successful local call'

    Look at the telco infrastructure - wires everywhere - no wonder.

  • @carbideagle nah its ruined cause you dont want to work for a buck you want the full $10

  • dont feed these people, our countries are being ruined by people who work for a buck a day

  • anybody else noticed the white woman on that indian call center?

  • SAR WAATT CAN EYE DO FOUR U...lol hahaha

  • 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.

  • @sanatgulvadi

    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.

  • "In a country where it's an achievement to make a successful local call,.." what the hell?
