So does that mean we’ll have English speaking individuals on the call desks that are actually understandable? Never mind having someone who is clearly Indian, giving their name as James or Gary. I actually called them out once after being passed over to the third person.

Thousands of emotionally-stunted teenagers write and post fiction on Reddit daily. This is one example.

Call center jobs are ghetto. H-1b visas are for white collar STEM workers. Our best jobs.

Really? Post it then.

That is no joke. I worked 37 years in main street industry in Chicago. My job was running computer controlled manufacturing machines. I interviewed lot of people over the years to hire in my department. It seldom found a competent worker from India. I would have been happy to hire them since I was born and raised in India. The best people I found were from eastern Europe.

Because India has a huge surplus of IT workers. That is why they are scattered all over the world looking for jobs.

That’s a shame.

It’s more of a shame they didn’t have to train their replacements first...

after being told that the reason they were getting replaced, was that their replacements were “more qualified.”

OK, you win the thrad.

And I’ve finished my coffee, or you’d owe me a new keyboard too.

My guess is that they were not working in the US, because there is some law about 60 day notices required for layoffs of a certain number of employees. Just my 2 cents.

Most large us companies are experts at "nickel and diming" the layoffs across states so they never exceed the threshold for notices.

Anyone know which company this is?

Otherwise just a story
