Call center help by day, Mohammad Cartoon avenger by night, this is the quandary many American businesses find themselves in and it’s becoming a P.R. nightmare. The same person who is answering your call center request, or processing your sensitive data, may also be the same person seen on television at night chanting ‘death to America’, ‘Death to Europe’, all this while stomping on a burning American flag.
And in growing protests throughout America, Americans are growing fed up with businesses who take jobs from America to send to these same people. They are asking the question, ‘How can we provide our jobs to the same people who want to see our destruction and demise?” I think it’s a good question, we must remember, as we empower these individuals economically we also empower them politically. You can’t have their cheap labor and not experience their culture. Is cheap outsourcing a fair price to pay in return for empowering racist radicals who commit heinous crimes in response to just a cartoon?
The Mohammad cartoon is still inspiring senseless violence around the world. However, the violence is now being discussed in board room meetings, and Mahogany rows, around the world. Why is this suddenly a hot topic of discussion? It’s because executives are now experiencing the effects of the racist violence being perpetrated in the Middle East, these racist protestors have now turned their ire toward westernized businesses and these comapnies have no defense against the losses being incurred.
The radical Muslims attacking outsourced business assets in the Middle east, and parts of Asia, have stated that they will not stop until they have destroyed all of the symbols of westernization in their country. This means that call centers, manufacturing buildings, even fast food restaurants, are fair game, and according to news reports, they have been getting vandalized and destroyed on a growing scale.
Another issue the executives fear is the public relations nightmare companies are dealing with in regards to information handlers in Pakistan, and parts of India. It is hard for a company to justify hiring employees who process sensitive data during the day and swear their allegiance to the death of America by night. If these radical Muslims want to see death to America, imagine what they want to do with your personal information.
Furthermore, in regards to the attacks on westernized businesses, what do the Mohammad cartoons have in relation to Big Macs, and Fried Chicken? This is beyond me. However, these are only a few of the westernized businesses being targeted. The Muslims angry over the Mohammad cartoons have vowed to attack infrastructures of numerous companies that are based, or do business, with Europe, or North America.
We must also not forget that a major part of the violence in regards to the Mohammad cartoons is occurring in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and lest anyone forget, Pakistan is considered to be a Nuclear Weapons wielding country.
Therefore, next time you get a call center in that area, or find out your routed work papers were processed in that area, watch television that night, you may see your main man on television swearing allegiance to your destruction while burning your flag of freedom.
Violence In Pakistan And The Middle East
Great post, this is a repercussion that I have not thought about, and does present a real threat. Not only may personal information be compromised, but the businesses that outsource may suffer bad pr from belligerent call takers.
I agree. While I don’t think that anybody expected something like this to happen, what do they expect when they move entire operations to another country. They do not have to abide by the laws of the United States…if any laws at all.
How can any corporation guarantee the safety of the information they process or handle in other countries? Where do you think their foreign worker’s loyalty lies? Don’t know? Turn on your television for added insight…
