Sex? Drugs? Of Course....it's an Indian Call Center!
2006-03-20
Buy a Dell computer and turn a nice young Indian into a pot smoking pervert? I guess globalization is worse than we thought.

Recent polls of Indians working in call centers for British and American companies found that they are adopting the values of Hollywood movies and British TV.

Two recent surveys found many staffers admitting to casual affairs, The Times of London reported. In one poll, one in four admitted to casual sex -- and in the other, one in five said they had had an affair with a colleague.

Shankar Rao, deputy commissioner of the New Delhi Police, suggested that the call centers provide counseling to keep staffers off drugs and sex and that they should make sure no one works more than three nights a week.

Wouldn't that give them more time to hook up?

"The companies should insist on certain standards," Rao said. "I want to make sure these call centers do not become dens of evil." I'm surprised they didn't just try to profit off of it instead. Y'know...press 1 for a Hindi Hottie, press 2 for a Bengali Babe...
