Fancy a Date?

It would appear that moving to India could be a solution for the dateless:

Employers have tried to compensate for the monotonous
nature of the work itself by creating an informal, American-style
college campus atmosphere, where there is plenty of après-shift
drinking and partying. Since many staff work night shifts, after which
normal socialising is impossible, office friendships – with
accompanying sexual liaisons – have blossomed.

In
the southern city of Bangalore, a call centre hub, the rising number of
abortions – up 50 per cent in two years – is blamed on the licentious
lifestyles of the call centre workers. So entrenched is their
reputation for dating, drinking and partying that many middle class
parents are now reluctant to let their daughters take up such jobs.

In a survey of call centre staff last year, it found
that 38 per cent of men and women believed that pre-marital sex was
permissible and 25 per cent regularly indulged in casual sex.

"A
call centre office that was visited as part of the survey reported that
its drains had been found choked with condoms," said Mr Rau.

Something to talk about the next time you check your bank account, eh?

  1. Tim,
    Such behaviours are mundane within the call centre sector.
    In one of my former CC’s a colleague defecated upon a closed lavatory seat, rendering the gents’ unusable. In another the bathroom was locked and access limited on a ‘key signed in, key signed out’ basis after a colleague crapped in a bin.
    Call centres are marvellous places to work in.
