A TRIBUTE
Roughly a year or 2 before the world hits circa 2000. On a country south east of Asia, the Philippines where the economy is trying hard. People were afraid of 2K Bug and end of the world. Some are busy trying to
make both ends meet. Unemployment rate is taking a huge take off for the newly graduates.
The country is producing hundred thousands of graduates, only small of it lands on a job. Its a very good thing then to have an P8000 /month work. If you were one of those lucky souls to earn 5Digit paycheck then you are god!!!
Thanks to the people who thought of bringing new to the table
. Who thought of taking advantage of our excellent ability to interact with people, to deal with pressure, to
endure long hours of work...and to our high level of proficiency on the English language. Outsourcing was introduced.
Few hundered newly graduates then took the challenge. They we
re the first ones to stay night at the office. That is when the GY - grave yard shift model was introduced to the Pinoy YUPPIES.
They were the first group of people who sadly, expirienced how i
t is to be discriminate by someone on the other line due to our colour or nation
ality. But they were the first ones aswell to recieve commendation for a very great job done.
These people also gave chance to other industries that during those times about to say ..we QUIT!
Transportation industry was the one who really benifited from t
his new era of industry. Same goes to convininet stores, fast food crews and even the very humble Manong Pedro the balut vendor.
That was the dawn of new era of young professionals ready to take the
world. We have to thank those who came before us, who did not let hesitations get the better of them. Had they d
id not show their clients that they were not capable of helping them? Call center industry in the Philippines may have been a died industry right there and then...
To those people who made this industry now feed hundred thousands of children THANK YOU AND KUDOS!!!
