Minamaliit pala ng aktor na si Polo Ravales ang mga call center agents. Umani kasi ng batikos ang post ni Polo sa kanyang Facebook account noong weekend.
Aniya, “Nag-aral ka sa ma-gandang school tapos ang trabaho call center? Then ang sweldo mo ganu’n lang? Nabawi na ba ang tuition fee na nagastos simula elem (elementary) hanggang college?
“Worth it ba ang ba ang sweldo mo sa hirap at pagod mo? Or may pera ka dahil sa nanay at tatay mo? Isa lang ang buhay sarapan mo na, join my team, ipaparamdam ko sa ‘yo ang masarap na buhay (smile emoticons),” ang sabi pa ni Polo.
Kaagad ni-report ng lead vocalist ng Introvoys na si Paco Arespacochaga ang post ni Polo at sabay sabing, “you’re a sad boy, Polo Ravales. The Philippines has one of the best (if not the best) Call Center agents in the world! You’ve gotta put more substance in that space between your ears.
What a shame!” Isa rin sa bumatikos kay Polo si Angie Api Ilog, “WHAT’S WRONG BEING A CALL CENTER AGENT MR. POLO RAVALES?! Ang importante marangal na trabaho yan! Hindi nagnanakaw para guminhawa ang buhay.
“Pumili ka ng tamang SALITANG GAGAMITIN. Nakakaawa ka naman. SOBRA KA KUNG MANGMALIIT NG MGA CALL CENTER AGENT. Think before you speak!” sabimpa nito.
May advice nanan si Khendz P. Flores-Lozande kay Polo, “I have high respect for call center agents. I’ve been in the U.S. for decades and it makes me proud that most companies here outsource their customer service sa Pinas.
I know someone there who started her career as a call center agent. “She is now in upper management for a U.S. company that expanded in Asia. I once worked in tech support for Internet services and also for a biotech company on clinical studies.
If not for those roles, I won’t get to my current position for the largest utility company here in the U.S. Anuway, no need to hate people with crooked beliefs. Just pray for them.”
At dahil maraming masasakit na salitang sinabi kay Polo ay kaagad niya itong binura at sabay sabing, “to all the people who I offended, again sorry.
I didn’t mean that way again my sincerest apologies. God bless.” Oo nga, namali lang ng pag-iimbita si Polo para sa business niyang tila may kinalaman sa networking.
