Reading this article is true. However let's not just focus on callcenters but rather also see through the problems of "outsourcing agencies" as well that caters article writing, programming, linking, SEO, keyword listing etc. As to what I have noticed, most people from the west takes advantage of the cheap labor that they get on the eastern side of the globe and I think there should as well be an article over this. Some people from the west tries to make the most out of what they pay (which is as supposed to be). However, I have encountered some who despite the contract signed would not bother to pay agencies with the amount due that have rendered service to them. They have been taking advantage somehow that the poverty and cost of cheap labor from the east, gives them the right not to bother much with paying them in time or whatever... and if they'll think closely.. as far as I have gathered.. a callcenter agent abroad would cost around $2000 a month for their service while here just about $300 and even less... and yet with their attitude, treating asians like slaves is unbearable and somehow they still manage to whine about the amount that they have to pay knowing asians are very much of a hardworker so as long as we get by with the salary that we make. Somehow my materialistic mind computes it... if an average middle class filipino would not mind spending $1000 for a louis vuitton how much more would westerners be when that's just 4 pairs of jeans from calvin klein or diesel. See my point? and i see these forums that says offshore outsourcing is getting too costly? do they have any idea that the sleepless nights and the amount they pay us here is really not that luxurious if they'll think about it... i dunno... just a thought.
hello, geof. I can see you've got the most interesting sentiments about call center outsourcing and this may be because from your words you are a call center agent or somebody in the business.
Everything you say here is true from the point where agents have to sacrifice sleepless nights and a few bucks to their cigarettes just to cope up with graveyard work and that alone is enough to know that work is not that easy as an agent.
I'm really glad that today I met a comment in my blog post so intelligently crafted to burst out one of the best concerns in the BPO and call center industry. I never knew that some these ever existed, including the sentiment that sometimes, the clients or so does not bother to pay their dues. This indeed should be part of the discussion, however, it is not to my knowledge so I never tried even just once to have it discussed here although this is a very good idea.
I hope more people like you come here in my blog and make their points of view be available. I admit I myself is not an expert in the field and still trying to see through more about BPO and call centers. Thanks for everything and I wish that you comer here again for some more of your thoughts.

In addition, aside from providing more time for more important activities, outsourcing also assuages the company’s lack of internal expertise or dedication. Quite understandably, the lack of internal expertise and dedication in a particular organization may result to poor attitude and performance in the workplace. This, in turn, will affect the overall growth of the company. As such, outsourcing addresses the lack of internal expertise by providing what the company needs, allowing them to become more well-rounded and efficient.
Really nice article. Keep it up...
The word outsourcing itself says it all, its a matter of profit and cost efficiency for business firms.
