An End to Call Centers May Cause Job Loss in the Philippines

[johnny22aa]

IMPOSSIBLE jud ni mahitabo....... ang pinakaconcrete nga reason y nag outsource ang mga american companies is because of LABOR COST.

If ever mopasar ni nga balaud, dli kaha mo taas ang kilay sa mga dagkung kompanya anis america?... and to think the products they are selling are the one call center agents are supporting to them. Ang mahitabo ani kng mopasar na nga law ug wala na jud lain choice ang mga company, what they will do is to increase the market price of their products they are selling. haaaii.. wala jud ka huna2x ang senador nga nag propose ana. SILA RA POD ANG MADAUT Kay mo mahal ilang products.

posible na ni bai. kay they would tax every diverted call made to a foreign country. whereas they would provide incentives to companies whose calls are answered in the states. kung tax lang daan ang hisgutan, kabaw bya ta unsa ka mahal ang tax didto. how much more if hatagan sila ug incentives.

Wala ju'y makapugong sa mga BPO's. What OBAMA is doing is KILLING American businesses, LUGI ang hantongan anang mga kunpanya kung ilang ing-anaon. Pareha rana sa ginasulti nga "INVESTORS GO TO WHERE THEY WILL BE MORE PROFITABLE AND COMPETITIVE" and the Philippines provides them with the right qualities plus the less cost.

dli bai. obama is not killing america. in fact, he is making it alive kay he is bringing back the jobs it deserves sa mga tao sa america. mao bitaw nang ni down ang economy sa u.s. ky wa may mga trabaho mga tao kay gi pang outsource na man abroad. unsa may gamit sa mga call centers nga low cost pero, in the bigger picture ang mga tao sa u.s. wa may trabaho. unsa pa man ilang tawgan? whereas kung naa ra ang mga call centers sa u.s., adto ra pud motuyok ilang kwarta. bulahan ang mga tao kay naa sila'y trabaho. bulahan pud ang mga companya kay naa silay customers, bisan mahal ang cost. mao nang ang foreign outsourcing is also a shortsighted solution pud when it comes to the bigger picture pud.

ang pangutana... would americans work for that much money as call center agents? budlay!!!

This bill will be opposed by the lobbyists gyud!

Ning down ang economy sa US not because of unemployment. Nag down kay mga hangol kaayo mga banks! Read about the subprime mortgages first!

When the banks started to fail, they were asking people with loans to pay up. Walay ikabayad. so companies closed down. diha nagsugod ang unemployment.

And if muingon sila nga taas na ang labo cost sa Pilipinas, then it's good. It only means that the Filipinos' financial capabilities have already matured and the income they need is already high.

even if these companies will not outsource their operation, will these PROUD AMERICANS accept a salary of just 300 dollars per month working 8 hours a day? kuyaw ug basin dili na jud nuonnn outsoourcing ang buhaton sa US companies, basin relocation na jud....

Even if tax and penalties would be implemented, I do not think it would deter US companies to outsource the job.

Here in the USA, the lowest a 17yr old customer service rep receives as pay, that I know of is $10 per hour plus other benefits such as paid vacation, paid sick leave, paid differential, double/triple pay when working on holidays and a bunch others, may also be medical benefits.

Six months with job.... maybe a raise up to $13 an hour or so.

[cebulifer]

taas na kanang $10 per hour. plus benefits pa gyud! Dako lagi kaayo labor cost sa America. Di lagi ni mupasa ning law lagi!

Mahal naman ang cost of labor sa Korea. They're already a developed country, their workers now earn so much that the Philippines will ever have.
