This is an 80-20 issue for sure.

80% of the country who has dealt with it and 20% of the country who doesn’t bother to handle issues themselves over the phone.

Good do it right before you ban immigration from China.

Keeping 600,000 Chinese students and banning outsourcing of IT work? Sounds legit.

While we're at it, can we also ban recorded messages from billion dollar companies asking me to "tell me about my issue" before sending me to a menu?

I would love to talk with someone that speaks English when I need support and really would like to see that brought back but how does he have the authority to tell companies where their call centers are located? Is that what all of H1B visa talk is about?

hopefully they ban the h1b shite also, because alot of them are here. Indians have absolutely destroyed the great support I used to receive at various technology companies I work with.

Pretty much AI can handle call centers with ease. Sam Altman is going to be the call center of the future.

India want to side with Cheap energy and China/Russia, then let China/Russia hire their workers......


EDIT: and include Student Visas to that as well

AI can handle most IT jobs. All of these little computer nerds in this country are going to have to go outside and get a real job soon.

I don’t think this is about call centers.

It’s companies who have India IT companies overseas complete IT (I.e. programming work) instead of hiring American tech workers.


Fits with the America first agenda, and we need to cut this (and H1B) and incentivize and support STEM education to grow our own local labor force instead.

With H1B they come here.


These programs advertise to address worker shortages but they end up being used to cheapen labor costs at American worker expense instead.

Similar to this BS but specific to IT work.
