On any given day in New Delhi and Bombay and Bangalore, the call goes out
for new call center recruits as more and more American companies come
calling. The call center employees earn $3,000 to $5,000 a year, in a nation
where the per capita income is less than $500. The perks include free
private transport to and from work plus the sheer heaven of an
air-conditioned workplace.

Now John, I know you are going to say that 3 grand a year does not equal 1
dollar an hour, but you must remember the people there are reported to work
12 hours a day 5 and 6 days a week.

5 days a week is 3120 hours a year
6 days a week is 3744 hours a year

An American, working a 40 hour work week at minimum wage of $5.25 per hour
would make a gross salary of 10,920

Gould,
I am curious where you found the info on paying those in India $1 an hour,
can you provide a link?

You think Dell's going to find people in Texas who
are fluent in English and will work for $5.75 per hour?

$1 per hour is the going rate for English speaking help in India or the
Phillipines.

'Course you can halfway live on $40 a week in some places. In Texas,
that
40
bucks would fill your gas tank, buy you a six pack, and leave enough
left
over
for a corn dog. Every week.





Do you have an address so Smith can send in his resume?

FYI, AT&T's SC is in India.

That's a load of crap. Any body who resorts to that line is racist.


Yeah, he is signing up with Cingular the new owners of AT&T. How stupid to
get locked in to a contract with AT&T. They were the first "no contract"
required cellular provider. Must have fallen for a gimmick. "Free? where
do
I sign?"

I suppose he must have a cell phone on his lobster boat, eh?

Indeed, the main ATT Wireless call center is in India. And, as I stated,
I'm dropping ATT. It isn't ATT anyway...just another company that
bought ATT's wireless some years ago. And, indeed, Cingular has an offer
pending for what is called ATT Wireless. But I'm not going with Cingular.

You know, there really isn't a top-drawer cell provider anymore. ATT
used to be the best, when it was ATT. I've heard that Verizon is the
"best of the rest," but it is only second-rate.

Personally, I use Sprint.. Never have had any problems with them and I get
great prices both for my cellular and for my home long distance.

As a Sprint Cellular customer, I get unlimited long distance on my home
phone for only 15 bucks a month.... Much better than the old 300 dollar
phone bills!
