Why are call center agents paid better than others?

[Dark]

wakeke... bitaw... sometimes i think ngano mas mahal mag sweldo ang
CC agents than us nga COMPUTER Graduate who is working as SOFTWARE engineers...
or DEVELOPMENT engineers... mga SOFTWARE and HARDWARE engineers sa IT ba...
i think if mag work ka ana... dile jud na sila mag start og more than 15! or less pajud gali...

remember lang ko katung nag work pako sa hospital, ako sweldo kay 6k nya ang cc agents kay 3x pa..well thats life..

[sercor::jhumzki]

rabeha sad anang sweldoa oe, wala pa minusi og sss, tax etc

[crazyme82]

limpyo na nang 6k every month, and i work night shift pa hah..pero ok ra man pud, ana man dyud na ang life..

[umpa-lumpa]

its because ang ga sweldo nila ky ang CLIENT nga tua sa states or asa pa nga nasod sa gawas..if mang hire ang client ug employees from their own country, mahal ila i sweldo, whereas kung sa call center ky maka barato sila, and u know dollars, gamay ra na sa clients pero inig convert into Peso, dako kaayo na diri..thats one reason..another thing is, dapat dako gyd ang sweldo ky para naay magdugay nga empleyado, to think nga kasab-an ka i curse ka and other things..if minimum wage pa na, walay mangapply ug call center...

[kitloy]

Well, the government is not compensating call center agents but foreigner clients...get the drift?

@TS
dude,have you seen pila sweldo sa militarypila kita sa engrswala ra ka 1/4th ang sweldo sa CC agents.as far as i know,ang sweldo sa teachers karon is hapit na mag 20k specially in public (others are 20 nman gani).ang mga pulis,gi padak an na sad sweldo ana nila 3 years ago or something,competitive na sad na sila og salary.daun unsay wlay serious threat?kaw na gani ga mention ha nga gi protect ang agents og mga police,why?mao may targeton sige.and not to mention health threats,pila ka agents na nagka develop og hypertension og uban pa tungod sa work (not to mention the AIDS thing being talked nowadays,though,sala dyud na sa agent kung matugkan sila ana,hehehehehe).agents dont have easy jobs,they juz make it look easy coz theyre good at what they do.

these are the two most agreeable answers ..

aside from AIDS/HIV hahahaha joke :P

mao , nndot manang call center, saun ra pero boring lang gyud

[elaimakulai]

Dako ug sweldo kay Foreigners man ang tig sweldo...
Dako ug sweldo pero dako sad ug tax

CC rates here are a lot cheaper than those CC agents sa U.S. so dre sila nag invest kay cheap man ang labor dre plus others have night differential for those who are working at night time.


Professionals here kay gamay ug sweldo tungod sa kurakot nga gobyerno.

di pa tapos ang laban ipaglaban natin to!

i have read some ignorant answers, they are comparing salaries of 20 yrs working teachers, pulis, military and engineers to a new recriuted CC agents salary wise.. haha how can you compare a 6k salary to a 12k salary starting of a CC agent.?
