'Outsourcing' is very unfortunate. It seems that 'ethics', 'honesty' and 'integrity' are not real big in India as a general rule.

@SW-User Yes. Unfortunately, a thick Indian accent coming from your phone is a guarantee that you are being fleeced or about to be fleeced. It's not a reflection of the Indian people so much as a reflection of 'desperate' face of capitalism. I am a staunch defender of free market capitalism, but I'm not blind. If I had a choice between digging around in a landfill and working in a call center, I would be doing the same exact thing.

@puck61 I'd not judge a whole country by the call centres. They're just selling and all sellers are a bit of con people. Though I do agree that some cultures have more sticky people. Lol.

I am sure they also have tiers of professionalism as any other country. They are just much less polite than the western world.

@SW-User I've actually had them cursing me with the foulest language imaginable for not listening to their spiel! Like I said though, despite how it sounds, I am not trying to insult the great economic hub of India! Poverty feeds desperation, and my beloved capitalism feeds ON desperation.

@ISpeakTheTruth Lying, cheating, and deceiving is not good business. Trickery is not good business.
I understand that is the way things are done now, but there was a time when people were loyal to their country and at least tried to be obedient to their God. The execs responsible for GMC's treachery and other corporations who are betraying their fellow citizens are workers of iniquity. They know it, but they use the same logic you have so aptly put forth, so they just don't care, AND thanks to evangelical atheism, it doesn't even matter!

@ISpeakTheTruth By the current "progressive" standards, Jesus was a nationalist, capitalist, and a racist.
