So what is Trump planning on doing about Indian call centers? Slap a tariff on support calls?

[CodeToad]

Heck, I’ve done it so many times my Indian accept is damned near believable!

I am sick and tired of 90 IQ mental midgets screwing America!

Hillary said *what* about Gandhi? ping.

HE DID NOT DO THAT

Given: It's not much... but he did.

Four words... nothing to get excited about.

These companies NEVER put foreigner call center people in their sales departments?

Nope, if you want to BUY something - you get a totally understandable American.

After you make your purchase is some guy from the Philippines who's got a bad attitude.

The Brighthouse bunch is especially hard to understand.

I'm tired of paying American companies to hire cheap foreign call center people.

What sort of "sliding scale" does Donald have in mind for the Ameriquest/Argent Mortgage execs who owned a significant interest in the Indian firm they outsourced their ASAP laundry to? (ASAP was supposed to be a mortgage origination system written from the ground up and intended to replace EMPOWER)

The numbers I heard were in the neighborhood of half a billion dollars.

When the Argent Empower(tm) team got absorbed into the Ameriquest building, we thought we found ASAP - a giant cockroach with all six legs pointing at the ceiling in a corner of the kitchen where the above picture was proudly hanging on the wall.

Yes, I do. That the black folks she does it for don’t see through it is amazing to me.

“I’m thinking Biden should be Trump’s v.p.

Then Trump won’t have to worry about the CIA assassinating him.”

Last year I posted something similiar:

Sarah should be Trump’s VP. That would eliminate any liberal wanting to take out Trump!

[WENDLE]

We all hate that Indian on the phone trying to speak English.Keep those jobs here with people who can speak English.

[lee martell]

Donald likes to tell stories and elaborate. At least he didn’t do like Loretta Sanchez and go “Woo Woo Woo!”, giving a war cry. Another big deal over nothing.

Mujibar was trying to get a job in India ..

The Personnel Manager said, ‘Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it, you cannot qualify for this job.’

Mujibar said, ‘I am ready.’

The manager said, ‘Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green.’

Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, ‘Mister manager, I am ready’

The manager said, ‘Go ahead.’

Mujibar said, ‘The telephone goes green, green, and I pink it up, and say,’Yellow’, this is Mujibar.’

Mujibar now works at a call center.

[RedWulf]

Ha!

[Dave W]

Now that is funny!

Who hasn’t had such an experience and done this. Pass the Chicken Masala, not too spicy!

I talked to a “Sarah” last week

[RegulatorCountry]

Between the slight delay, the accents and the unnecessarily elaborate sentences, it is very difficult to understand people from Indian call centers. I don’t doubt that they’re speaking proper English but it’s hard to solve a tech problem or get an account straightened out when you just cannot follow what they’re saying. I’m always relieved to get kicked up the food chain and hear a nasal upper Midwest twang, a southern drawl or anything that I can process and understand upon first hearing it. Does that make me a bad person? I don’t think so, I just want to get it done and over with. Language barriers prevent that.

wow that’s sad. late to the thread. when I was a kid Rehoboth Beach, DE and Ocean City, MD were the places to go for a nice one-day vacation (I grew up in Bethesda).
