Im sick of talking to Indians!

[Lohman446]

Some guy in thick accent: Thank you for calling so and so,, my name is Dave may I help you please

Me: it is not, it is Mohammad... or Osma... hello FBI.. your mother did not name you DAVE


Ok.. I realize that much of India is not Muslim, and this may be construed as racsist - it was meant as a joke, lets take it as such.

Well apparantly so does Hillary Clinton!

yeah, im an IT student with a certificate in C programming, i know java and vb and a few scripting languages. i make all my money and support my family as an arborist because it pays more. i do independent consulting for spare cash(to play paintball). mostly database or networking stuff. should have focused on networking instead of programming. even if the support and software shops are over seas the actual networks are here.

i toy with network programming(the best of both i guess). like miscue im going to try to write some useful software( internet/network apps) and try to keep my chops while i eternally search for a good IT job.

Dell does not have indian support anymore. Unfortunitly I bought a compaq and had to deal with hps, indian support. I kept on having to ask them to resay what they just said. Then after spending a half hour telling them useless information and waiting on the line. They tell me to call back and choose a different menu option. That was it, I wrote a messege to dell and to hp. I told hp how cruddy there support was. I told dell how much i appreciated there tech support. I realy love there express number program. If you the express number, within 5 min you will have a American technintion. They are also great people. I think they have the best tech support out there for computors.

Hell I deal with this on a daily basis ... I work for a company that is worldwide, and has its World HQ in Saint Louis.

I deal with Chinese, Indian, Israeli, Russian, Brazillian, South African, etc etc ... on a daily basis. Man you want to talk about a culture clash ... we get it everyday.

And you can tell a societies traits by the people who work here ... I havent seen one Israeli hold a door for a women, but yet they (the guys) all give you the evil eye if you dont hold the door for them and go in first.

The tech sector sucks right now thanks to out-sourcing ... I am tempted more and more everyday to turn away from the tech sector and do something more meaningful in the world.

NFS!!! I know guys doing web design for $8 an hour!

Ehhh? My friend gets paid 2000 dollars for one (canadian though but hey that's 1565 us) AND THE GUY ISN'T EVEN IN COLLEGE...

So you coding guys are really unlucky with cheap labor, some people there are willing to be chained from 9 to 21 coding and coding... heh...

Btw, my dad had a brush with one of those tech support places in India. If you try hard enough, you can get to a U.S. phone (keep saying talk to their supervisor or something), and explain to that person how the indian support center was useless. My dad actually got through to the president of the company :) it was neat

Yeah my dad kept pulling the supervisor thing over and over today with Dell... that makes me angry, Dell used to have awesome tech support, now it seems like they've gone down the metaphorical crapper along with everybody else.

Whoa whoa dell got rid of there indian support. Now I can understand if you dont have an express number, but dell has got to have the best tech support ever. I love dell. And realy, the fact that they have good support is what makes me choose a dell over a hp or compaq.

[graycie]

its not only tech support...

i had a major issue with textbookx.com (they are based in CT, i hate that company right now but thats another story)and every time i spoke with a customer service rep they were indian, but at least i could understand what they were saying through their accent.

back to the IT issue, when i was interning at pharma/accounting companies i swear 90% of their consultants were indian. most of which were packed into a small over crowded room writing code all day.

miscue- is that ashraya rai (sp)?

You're doing a degree in tech support?

I think this is the coolest indian-related thing I've ever seen...really makes me value their culture:
