today's news:01/22/09

job cuts at Microsoft -- 5,000
at Intel -- 6,000(2,000 is in the Philippines)

* TARP money will include additional provisions for strict non-use of funds for customer relations outsourcing by financials, banks & others.

... there will be more bad news in the coming days so it is quite clear that foreign clients of call centers will have a hard time NOT to recall or end business relationships in the Philippines & India.. i know some of you will say that some call centers are still recruiting but do you know the provisions in the new contract with foreign clients are, like the terms & length of services needed?

what are your thoughts on this?

it is best that people realize that the economic crisis is real & that jobs in the Philippines will be severely affected specially those dependent on foreign clients.. it is best that we all find means to augment our incomes by further studies or learning some craft that we can utilize to be a source of other income.. we cannot wait for the worst to happen.
