I Think We Have All Spoken To Him


Mujibar was trying to get a job in India ..

The Personnel Manager said, 'Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it, you cannot qualify for this job.'

Mujibar said, 'I am ready.'

The manager said, 'Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green.'

Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, 'Mister manager, I am ready'

The manager said, 'Go ahead.'

Mujibar said, 'The telephone goes green, green, and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow ', this is Mujibar..'

Mujibar now works at a call center.

No doubt you have spoken to him...

I spoke with a Dell representative awhile ago and when I asked him what his name was he said "My name is Pradeep, but you can call me Jim."

At least he was honest! I hate it when they lie and say they are in Dover or Baltimore.

At least you got a real name. I hate it when they give me a fake name - it's like they are lying to me right off the bat.

I work in the healthcare field. When you call Aetna or United Healthcare for verification of coverage, you always run the risk of getting "Habib" in India, with an "American" name.

On the flip side of the coin, some people in the foreign countries aspire to be in a call center and go to school to learn english. To work in a call center over there is a step up in the job market.

I spoke to him after they re-named him "Dan".

Yeah, I love it when they tell me their name is Chad or Ben or Sam. Like that will convince me I'm speaking to an American.
