Sayed*..Your answer speaks volumes!
You guess because you don't know.
You are wrong because I do have a job.
Let ME guess now...You have a pitiful command of the English language, little or no knowledge & you work in a call centre.

Companies can only do what we, the paying consumer, allow them to do. As a large population we do have significant power to change things if we all get together on any particular issue; that is a historical fact. And though the telemarketing jobs may not seem important to us now because we are can adapt to the change it's the long run that we should all really be concerned about. Remember that the country as a whole has not had an increase in pay while the cost of living has continued to increase. If you make huge profits off of a population of people the jobs that produce those profits shouldn't be farmed out to a wholly different population of people so those profits can be even larger. We don't see the benefit of those larger profits caused by the reduced wages being paid in prices we pay so why should we allow reduced job opportunities for our own people?

they are stressful. I certainly have secured a telephone quantity from my branch so as that i'm able to call them direct. they have a decision Centre in India. I even have the e-mail handle to enable them to correctly known if i pick to chat later. Regretably, such a number of companies and Banks are sourcing the Indian industry, there'll easily be a backlash till now long, for all of the justifications you enumerate and those of the masses ordinarily. No slur on the Indian community is meant, basically a desire to maintain Britishness the place it would be.

Pete H, your answer is too funny.
That comment aside, I don't think it is possible to boycott, just because so many companies are using call centers in India now. Dell, Amex, Capital One, etc. all seem to have call centers there. In some cases, the English is very good. In other cases (Ariba Software) the English is pitiful - I always escalate to a supervisor who speaks better English or who is based in the USA.

I am fed up of speaking to people who can't speak english properly,I have had this trouble with directory enquiries even having to go so far as spelling the name letter by letter,and these loobies that ring you trying to sell something, they certainly take the prize in the idiot stakes,I agree as far as a boycott goes. Have you noticed though, that companies are now saying on t.v adverts that they have british call centres? Maybe the wheel is turning full circle

Most of them are just reading from scripts and often don't really know enough to answer technical questions. Still they are polite, and I appreciate that.
I think the important issue here is really the loss of jobs in the US. Eventually we will have to deal with this issue, or no one here will have any kind of job, even one in the service industry. Should we try to structure tax penalties for companies that outsource, or tax incentives for those that do not?
If you Boycott, then you might as well just give up your telephone, computer and credit cards right now.

Why is that, BT, British Gas, some of heath insurance do this. Their English might not be perfect but at least they are more polite, friendly and not arrogant like the standard ones!!!!

I wish! I am not racist but I always end up saying "can you repeat that please" or "sorry, what was that?" over and over again. It's just that I can't understand their accents and it's very frustrating. Also it's the fact that they can't understand me either even though I have a clear southern english accent and I have to repeat myself too and mistakes have been made. Aarrgh!
