Outsourced Call Centers (sort of a rant)

[thebeachbumm33]

I'm so sick of dealing with people across the world whom I have a very difficult time understanding their dialect of English, primarily Dell and Microsoft companies

Mujibar was trying to get a job in India. The Personnel Manager said,
"Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it you
cannot qualify for this job." Mujibar said, "I am ready." The manager said,
"Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green." Mujibar thought
for a few minutes and said, "Mister manager, I am ready." The manager said,
"Go ahead." Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green, green, and I
pink it up, and say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'"

Mujibar now works as a technician at a call center for computer problems. No
doubt you have spoken to him.

I have gotten more calls lately from god only knows where with people speaking this dialect. The best is when they say " Hewo, dis is Vinnie from A.D and T...." Yeah o.k. " Vinnie".

I understand! You may be interested to know that Capitol One is gradually decreasing their use of call centers in India for just this reason. Also, watch Gateway computer commercials carefully; there is usually a subtle reference in them alluding to the fact that their reps speak good English
