Why are call center agents paid better than others?

gwapa gyud mga cc agents arte lang hahaha

Taking calls 8 hours a day/ 5 days a week is no joke. Making English as your main language for the week is again not something you would want to do for the rest of your life. Call center people are paid way above the minimum wage because it takes more than guts, brains and exposure to cellular damage to work on this crazy environment. Congratulations to those who survived. Good luck to those who want to try it.

blame the employer, call center agents are paid by foreigners while the public servants are paid by our corrupt government... dont blame the agents coz they're just doing their jobs

luoy man gani ang agents kay dagko kaayo ug tax, nya mapunta ra sa pork barrel sa mga corrupt...
good thing unta kong napahimuslan sa mga nanginahanglan gyud

peace y'all

[joneil]

nope it's not ironic...
It's because call centers are big investments to our country.plus the boss is american, what do you expect

Kung dili sa ilaha dili bonga ang business everywhere....
Look oh...

Taxis don't run at night
fewer people in boracay
fewer peolple spending starbucks but rather go with nescafe 3in1
fewer people spending excess money like cellphones, fashionista clothes, trips to hongkong can is now affordable to a 18 year old.
Fewer travels for jeepneys(they travel now starting at 4am and imagine, ang musakay ani sa una kna rang mu-ad2 og mercado)
no schools that teaches "how to get in call centers" which means more business to other aspiring teachers
fewer people eating out... In expensive places
fewer people drinking out.... Imagine ccagents drink at 7am to 7pm?!! Sa una walay ingon ani na tao kung d mga palahubog...
More business for engineers more buildings
pulis? Same thing, they still sleep at night
Aids? You are bound to run into it if you dont choose who you harbat

And the lists goes on and on on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and.....

Now if you see these cc agents sitting in a coffee shop talking english to fellow pinoy > that's what you call social climber or your trying too hard to fit in sis


no pun intended to ts, just sharing my view. This is a happy conversation. Walay masuko. Just the facts dba?

agree jd ko ani bro!!!

[terces]

i have read some ignorant answers, they are comparing salaries of 20 yrs working teachers, pulis, military and engineers to a new recriuted CC agents salary wise.. haha how can you compare a 6k salary to a 12k salary starting of a CC agent.?

Bro, with all due respect. I would like to ask why is that you are so negative with the salaries of CC agents? Based on your post, I assume that you really don't have any idea at all why we are having these big salaries and incentives. Bro, don't say that some post/answers are ignorant because it has been explained well already. Ikaw yung ignorant, and your nickname really fits your personality "Recycle Bin", sa tagalog pa basurahan or lagayan ng mga "JUNK" goods.. Don't wait for other CC agents to see this thread of yours cz for sure you'll receive a lot of negative comments. And don't get mad at us, dahil ba marunong kaming mag-english? Eh di mag-aral ka din then tsaka ka mag-apply, then use me as your reference on your Resume. I'm willing to help you bro. Just say so. Wag mo ibaling sa mga CC Agents ang galit mo sa mundo o sa gobyerno. Move on cz even if your eyes will shed blood, it will never erase the fact that CC agents are precious living organism here in our country. Hope this will end this thread.

@jdmaspack i also don't think cebu can have northwing and terraces this early, thanks to the ripple effect brought by a call center agent's spending power..

I dont agree.. call center agents is not the business thats running cebu, yes some but not all. And even if walay call center sa cebu. Ayala terreces and sm northwing would still be there. Nidatu ang cebu tungod daghan ug datu sa cebu and dili pa kaau kawatan ang atong mayor dili tungod sa call center.

FACT gyud ni na input ..investment na gipasulod sa call centers wala ka one ka 1/8 sa investment na gipasulod sa carmen copper mining corp, sa toledo power and seri mining... so please erase intawn na sa inyong huna huna na kamo ang nagbuhi sa cebu, ni contribute ra mo. and plese dont brag about your salaries kay if compare na sa mining firm sweldo na sa ultimo!!

honestly, dili modesty aside one week ra tawn na namo na sweldo ang inyong salary for the month.

Call center agents dili maoy nakapanindot sa economy sa cebu! Nindot na ni da an before pani ni sulod. So please ayaw intawn mog claim. your misinformed.....

Yah bro I agree with you... exaggerating ra sad ning uban. I also work sa BPO industry but I wouldn't say nga tungod ra sa mga BPO Companies nga nanulod sa Cebu mao na nga niunlad ang cebu. 1 factor ra gyud mi sa "nakatabang ug padaghan sa business establishment diri sa Cebu".

Sagdi lang na si BoiKrypton kay unsaon ta man nga mao man na ang iyang namind-set. Maybe after reading your post kay makabalo ra sya nga sayop sya. Ok ra pud tong imong gi-post para eye opener sa uban.

CC career is not that easy, u have to make the nyt ur day...am an agent and am proud of my job, as one way of giving back to our teachers, military and other government employees, we have huge taxes to pay...though sometimes, we're treated badly in government offices. you don't have any idea of what our job is, everyday is a struggle, waking up at dawn when the majority are sleeping is a difficult battle to win, ur dealing with stress everyday.. don't make a general conclusion that AIDS is for CC agents, ur mistaken..anyone can have it! hope u learn to respect this job even a little, coz that's a major contributor of government taxes >>come to think of it ...

Bro,

I have nothing against call center business. In fact mas maau nga naa ni na industry sa cebu, kay na bibo ang IT park. basin kaming dili taga call center naka benefit mi ani na lugar. Ang akong murag na shock ko sa claims ba na ang call center business maoy naka pahimo sa cebu. Ang ang inyong spending power maoy naka pa boost sa economy sa cebu. Kani moy dako kaau na bakak. And kana claims pud na kamo ang pinaka dako na sweldo... siguro kung e compare sa government employees. but sa uban industry ultimo ra intawn na sweldo tawn, ang please dont ever compare engineers to call center agents. In fact mao ni naka pa downgrade sa among profession.

Wala koy bilib sa engineers na nag call center. Gawas lang sa computer and ece. kay linya man gyud na nila. but for other engineers, like chemical, civil, mechanical, metallurgical, geo... unya nag call center, paka uwaw ni!
