Mustek "customer support"
Just a warning if you plan on buying a Mustek product. I spent almost
half hour with more than one Arab speaking "tech support" person yesterday. Never did figure out what they were saying to me as I don't understand Farce or whatever language they speak over there. Never did get my problem fixed, wasted money in my book... Just a warning if you are looking at video or dvd equipment.. |

But obviously they understood me about as much as I did them. |

Happened to me yesterday with the corporate tumor which absorbed my mortgage from the previous company, whose service was fantastic. "I'm sorry, but I'm having difficulty understanding you. Can I speak to your supervisor?" I got an American to talk to. To make matters worse, they always seem to have phones that are soaked in water each night, and their calls are routed through an old Casio digital watch or something. |

The parent company HAS to know how bad their overseas staff sounds, but they do nothing to correct it. |

Actually, almost all of these companies are now using "IP" telephone service. Whatever they're using, the goal is to annoy people. The parent company HAS to know how bad their overseas staff sounds, but they do nothing to correct it.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It's a race to the bottom. If none of the competitors put people on the phone who are conversant in English, there is no reason for any company to step up and spend $15-20 per hour, (plus maybe another $5 in benefits) for entry level tech support people to man the phones. University-educated help in India goes for about $4-5 an hour. Forget benefits- India is pretty highly socialized so there isn't much the employer is expected to pay for. (We don't want socialism in the US, but many of our corporations are not opposed to making extra money by taking advantage of the low wages made possible by socialist systems elsewere). We have seen the same phenomenon in most aspects of life. We accept pumping our own gas, checking our own oil (although nobody seems to anymore), and washing our own windows as normal. Airline travel has morphed from a pleasant adventure with attentive serivce to an experience of being shoe-horned into a claustrophobic seat- and if you're lucky about halfway through a 5 hour flight the surly and disinterested flight attendant will throw a bag of pretzels in your lap. It is a race to the bottom. Mooooo. |
