Nice.
This article describes Americans who make it a practice to place calls to software help centers known to be located in India, and therefore "outsourced," and abuse the workers there.
If you disagree with the kind of treatment these call center people are getting, maybe you should call and say something nice to them. I know I will.
This looks like a job for sorryeverybody.com! (Not gonna link 'em.)
It's ironic - these are apparently tech support types who have lost their jobs who are doing this. I've long believed that tech support types can be the biggest assholes on the planet. Not all of them or even most of them have asshole tendencies, obviously, but some of the biggest superiority complexes I've ever seen, coupled with massive chips on the shoulders, have combined in many of the tech support types I've known or, heaven preserve me, gotten help from. And how does the creep who boasts of "mak[ing] an Indian girl cry" describe his victims?
I get the impression these are not the brightest bulbs in India's chandeliers.
'k, maybe not, dude. But they're in YOUR CHOSEN FIELD and they're doing just as good a job as you ever could. In a second language. Where does that put you in relation to India's decorative lighting fixtures?
P.S. I'm not entirely innocent of making a little joke at the expense of the outsourcing ones. But calling them and abusing them from thousands of miles away? Just lovely.
UPDATE: What the hell do I know about who's an asshole or not? I mean, besides the people who are calling Mumbai tech support types. Sorry, I was just angry at them. I didn't mean that other, not really.
