“Call-centre calling!”
Everyday we see many faces, some strangers and some even our friends , who toil their nights and sleep their days off. Can a 4-5 figure salary compensate for their losses?
For the many sleepless nights ? Their health ?
Welcome to the jungle! Of multinational call centres that feed on the ‘fresh’ and the young.
The priorities of the youth have changed. They are looking for easier and shorter avenues
To substantiate their newly acquired life styles and luxuries that their allowances can’t endure. Gone is the innocent fun of the college days where bunking classes was the way to life. Today the generation can hardly afford to attend classes out of their tight ‘schedules’. Students are rapidly losing their individuality and are becoming highly mechanized and commodified by the ‘new job’ providers. They are enchanted by the fame and money and are unaware of the fact that they hold nothing except the slavery of the MNC’s. They enter the lucrative environment thinking it’s the life they have always dreamt of, but actually they are left with no life of their own.
Day by day, or rather say Night after Night they are burning their creativity and energy for a cause that’s not their own. They are so confined in that arena that they have no time left for family and friends. It’s a career where one is nameless, voiceless and faceless, i.e. one uses an alias, dictated what to say and how to say, put on a fake accent and still they talk about individual performances. All in All, though call centre’ provide a quick way to success but it’s also shortlived. It's a oneway road from where turning back is difficult.
Behind all that glitter is the cold hell of hard work and exhaustion. And to think, what all does it amount for ultimately? Any answers?
