Outsourced S01E02 HDTV XviD-LOL

i can't be the only person that watches this show? can i? because i don't see anyone seeding it
right now.

i watch this show. i've worked in cc's for 5 years... i can so relate. xd
[other than the whole moving to india part =p]

pardon me if i fail to find the humor in this topic. not only is this show filled with inane,
racist "humor", but also it's like a kick in the groin to the hundreds of thousands of american
workers who've lost their jobs so that corporate dickheads can get a nickle more per share. i hope
this show and its producers get anal herpes. what good are all their efforts if the very people
they've shoved into unemployment don't have money to buy their shite products? shortsightedness
would be an understatement.

glad it's not long for this world.

i've worked in a help desk call center for 5 years before the company either let us go or changed
our jobs because in their eyes we made too much money and they only wanted to pay half of our salary
to people to answer computer questions that the companies employees called in about. i was pissed at
first but since it has been about 4 years since i left and they still have a high turnover rate at
the cheap help desk all i can do is laugh because their margin for saving money has been past since
they cannot retain employees long enough to offset the cost of hiring someone. i don't like
companies that trim their employees because their stock prices feel by 3 cents and the stockholders
are crying about their lost profit while the real workers get laid off because some guy or woman in
a suit can't afford to buy a new ferrari.

truer words are seldom spoken.

instead of being an uplifting "slum dog millionaire" type story, it's a lame ass "look how funny it is that i
can't get good bbq in india."

insulting to the domestic audience whose jobs were outsourced and offensive to the international
audience who are fed up with being force fed the notion that everyone should want what people in the
u.s. want. other people have their own food, their own culture and it's not inferior.

weak as water.

get a grip. this is a comedy- the people who make it aren't the one's responsible for outsourcing american
jobs. if you want to get even, go join a tea party. it's a show about observing cultural differences, which is
something more americans (i am one) need exposure to. like i said in another post, cultural humor is
tricky humor, but they handled this episode fine.

i thought this show was better than the last, and have hopes that they can continue to develop the
characters.

hi,

i live and work in the uk. i'm sick off speaking to people who i can't understand on the end off the phone
because they have been outsourced to somewhere in the indian sub-continent.

however it's the not the person on the phones fault that some corporate spanner thought it would be a
good idea to outsource all complaints handling to a country that has an accent you can't understand, ohh
hold on, could that be the reason, dohh how clever they must have felt.

but hey ho, guess the hadn't heard of twitter, facebook or youtube at the time, use that media to complain
and it will go viral and get results.

that could be why they now advertise that the call centers are now back in the uk, great strategy, sack
your original work force, relocate to save money, ooops mistake, sack a second workforce, who have even
less than we in the west have and re-employ all those you made redundant.

ohhh we are in a recession, how did that happen.

great show and great characters, and for those who are calling this racist, omg that goes both ways.
