| said by burgermeister:said by powerhog:I think it has less to do with being able to find intelligent Americans and more to do with finding intelligent Americans who are willing to work for $1/day. This is the correct answer. This particular economic situation is serendipity for business due to middle class economic correction. I replied to another poster blaming teachers for the problem, and it reminded me of a phone call with a CC company phone rep not long ago trying to sell me services when I called to activate a new CC. This person was a teacher who could not find work in Missouri due to downsizing and consolidating school districts. She has a graduate degree in education, but was a new hire and therefore one of the first to go.
Long to short, she was glad to have a job; so many of her friends were not so fortunate. Grad students handling phones for $8 to $10 - the American dream, no?
I'd advise people to become at least acquainted with economic shock and flattening the middle class standard of living around the globe. Conspiracy theory? Perhaps. But I don't believe every unfortunate incident is an accident, either. Naomi Klein's book, "The Shock Doctrine," would be a very good start. -- | |

I was in help desk at a major corporation and it was a pressure cooker. Even if I knew how to resolve the issue, my manager would not allow us to be on the phone for more than 10 minutes. If it went over 10 minutes, we had to escalate the issue to the next level (Desktop Support).
I believe metrics have their place but when quality is sacrificed just so you could meet metrics numbers, problems become rampant.

But my guess is that AT&T wouldn't want to pay that much; otherwise, they wouldn't have outsourced those jobs in the first place. I've seen plenty of other companies offering much less for CSR's, so my guess is that AT&T is having trouble filling positions because they want to lowball salaries and/or hire workers from temp agencies with no benefits. | |

If you are seriously a graduate with an IT degree.. you will not work (and they will NOT HIRE) as a help desk rep for AT&T, plain and simple. More than likely, your job will be much lower down the food chain like best buy, or a cashier at the local grocery store (The completing a degree to be a movie producer only to get a job ripping ticket stubs the local cinema syndrome). Employers have a jaded sense of hiring inadequate staff who do a terrible job and wonder why those trained for the job don't apply and aren't hired.. maybe they stopped looking for those kinds of jobs which they are emminently qualified for, but just can't get because the hiring managers are such scumbags taking orders from even more incompetent scumbags on how to do their job. Micromanagement bureaucracy at it's finest. Though I will give AT&T a partial pass on this one, this is not just the workforce hiring process for them, this is EVERYWHERE-- government, education, military, corporate america, both large and small businesses. Until our worforce culture changes, expect the worst.. don't even think about hoping for the best.
Anyhow, AT&T is notorious for cutting costs the old fashioned Walmart way.. that is treat your employees at the bottom like crap and get away with anything and everything even if it means a fine/penalties down the road or lost revenue. Save less now to spend more later.
If you buy services from AT&T knowing this is what there is when you pull the curtain up.. you may want to reconsider buying that Iphone knowing who does the wireless... or U-Verse, or anything else AT&T sells or puts their branding on.

To be honest, the CEO of AT&T was absolutely correct, yet many American's don't like to hear it. For one, we are NOT better than those in other countries.. we're not more educated, we're not harder workers, and we don't always turn out a better product. American's like to be told that we're the best becuase it's a patriotic thing to do.

 |  |  | | Indeed. I know several teachers, and if anyone thinks they have it easy, then they must not know anyone in that profession. There are some school districts where money is so tight, teachers have to pay out of their own pockets for classroom materials. My sister-in-law is a teacher, and it isn't uncommon for her to work 12-hour days. A good friend of mine also teaches, and she told me about one of her first jobs, where she taught elementary school to a class made up primarily of children born to drug addicts. It was bad enough that these kids had almost every kind of learning disability under the sun, but she got zero support from the parents, who were often more messed up than the kids.
So I'd love to see one of these cushy teaching jobs. I bet I could find a few folks who'd love to apply for such a position. | |

| Coincidence? Maybe this explains the call I received last year, asking me if I would like a position as a senior tech...a job I had with AT&T several years ago as a contractor. After 3 years AT&T had to take you on as an employee (which included benefits, etc.) or cut you loose. AT&T chose the cheap route, and let me go.
I laughed when I realized it was the exact same job they were offering me, explained that I had been formerly employed in the position, then politely declined.

 Pv8man join:2008-07-24 Hammond, IN | AT&T reminds me of When I was 16 (in 2001) , there was a medium sized steel redistribution company in South Chicago that used to pay me 20-40 bucks to fix their buildings network when it went down randomly. It was a company of about 40-50 employees and PC's, and 2 file servers . They did not want to hire a technician because of the cost.
for almost 6 years, I kept coming back to fix their network for cheap when it went down. Hoping to get hired from them some day, their CEO kept praising me and leading me on when I would fix his laptop for him.
then one day they called me and said they had a job for me.
But it was a labor job out in the yard for $9/per hour, I needed the money so I took the job.
and of course, when I was working their, they would call me in to fix things all the time. Then they would not pay me the 20-40 bucks anymore, and tried to say that I was already being paid on the clock ($9/hour).
At that point I told them.
"Sorry, my job description is a union laborer, if you want me to keep fixing things you are going to have to pay separately for it at a minimum of $20/hour" (Which I thought was fair)
They did not want to pay that, so they PAID A TECHNICIAN TO MOVE TO THE USA FROM CANADA!! AND HIRED HIM AS AN OFFICIAL TECHNICIAN.
I've never felt more disgruntled...
Moral of this story...well don't fix things for cheap to try to get hired. | |

| Need Workers We have all the skilled workers AT&T need, it called a high school education with job training. The problem is AT7T was too nearsighted and lazy to train skilled workers and expect the Universities to do the job for them to the point of absurdity of have a person spend four yeas at a college to become a cube dwelling phone jockey. It only worked in India because working phones paid better then working the uncles farm.

Politicians constantly talk about how US jobs have been shipped over seas. But something else travels with the jobs stress. While 70 percent of outsourced American jobs go to India's call centers, stressed-out Indian youth want to ditch their unhealthy posts for more fulfilling careers.
You may get frustrated when you have to call another country for customer service, but the combination of odd hours and overwork caused one 23-year-old Indian recent college graduate to have a heart attack! As you can imagine, the call center workers are getting ready to trade the higher-paying jobs for less stress and better hours. BBC interviewed workers who explained, "they quit because it was frustrating to continue to answer calls day after day, year after year. No creativity, no use of mind required. Some say their minds have become cabbage."

A company can't just hire H1B people because it feels like it...it has to prove that the need cannot be met with workers already in this country. Sorry but you're wrong. AT&T regularly hires H1B's for tier1 networking support in its call centers. I worked in one. They could have trained any US citizen to do this work but didn't. They use Indian contract agencies as preferred vendors and hired H1B's for a maximum of 2 years (normally 1 year with 1 year extention) and then would have to let them go for 6 mo's before they could hire them back. I think the gap was there so that weren't required by their own HR rules to hire them as full-time AT&T employees.
I think all of their positions would be Indian H1b's but there's the occasional client that does not want to hear an Indian accent on the other end of the phone that they must appease to keep the support contract.
If there's still a requirement to prove that the need cannot be met with American worker's -- there are ways around it. One of them is to simply increase the "requirements" to way beyond what they need to be but not the pay -- the H1B says he has whatever is needed whether he has them or not. There's no good way of verifying an H1b's qualifications and the client generally doesn't care since they weren't real requirements anyway. The contracting company gets a pre-negotiated rate for each person they place and has no incentive to pay the contractor anything but the minimum and H1B's are the easiest target. I've seen cases where the H1B is getting about a third of the contract agency's cut. | |
