I've experienced the same frustrations as others trying to converse with someone that does not have command of our language but the blame is not on them. If I were in their shoes and a job was available I would take it. Every middle easterner that I have met is intelligent, motivated, and hard working. How long would it take us to learn the Indian language and speak it correctly? The blame falls on Dell, IBM and other corporate managers who have decided that the only way to compete is to outsource. The fact that the help-desk personnel are difficult to understand is of no consequence to them. They are "saving money" and that is all that matters. I'm not biased...the fact that I was one of the 14,000 employees laid off by IBM in 2002 has no impact on my opinion. hi hi
