I'm not sure if this is related but Accenture recently announced lay offs for contact center staffers in Manila, Philippines.

I heard they are bringing stuff here to Sao Paulo. Mostly accounting etc. I wonder if they even could do call centers here.

Interesting.

To have the US gov owning a company that pays offshore call centers would fly in the face of everything Obama is preaching about right now. Didn't even think about that.

I think it can get really complicated since most large companies (the ones being bailed out) have a high likelihood of having at least a few operations outsourced overseas.
