YT videos from Philippines would disagree.
- eru 2mo agoPeople love to complain.
- nlpnerd 2mo agoWhat YT videos?
- sam_lowry_ 2mo agoAbout working conditions in Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) also known as scamming centers?
- flyingshelf 2mo agoWhat does that have to do with the general state of the whole industry? "Scamming" rarely falls into proper "jobs" anyway.
- hatefulmoron 2mo agoPOGOs are criminalized and often operated by illegal immigrant Chinese people, it's not really representative. At least that's my understanding having lived in Manila for a few years.
- pixel_popping 2mo agoExactly, that opinion comes straight from parroting international news that have no grasp about what's happening locally there. Most BPO workers are overworked (not all, depend the company, there are thousands of them) but they aren't treated badly.
- pixel_popping 2mo agoPOGOs are not the average BPO/callcenter, and working conditions for most are far better than most jobs, even in scam callcenters (with exceptions, as with anything else). The average scam callcenter is relatively small scale with 20 workers in it and often is maintained within "family/friends", the POGO industry is very different and it's absolutely not reflecting the reality, that's just a particular niche that is mostly managed by foreign individuals (from China, Cambodia...)
