Your posts reeks of so much entitlement that it borders on funny.

First, no one owes you anything because you are a "graduate".

The world will pay you the market value for whatever service you render.

Maybe your work hours could be improved. But that's about it.

If you want more money, then you have to find a way to provide more value to others.

Hehehehehe...don't get it twisted...I'm not asking for help...

I just don't know why people always miss the main point to a post...just few people understood this post..

I'm not asking for money.... I run my things well bro...I av been into online freelancing for more than two years now and I earn quite a reasonable amount...

The point on this post is why big firms outsource their services when they can still get better payment for the contract staff and avoid benefits... Just few people answered in that direction. The graduate I mentioned is to paint a vivid picture of what I'm talking about. Why are we allowing firms like this to take advantage of the unemployment situation in the country? This is not right! I spoke wit a south African friend of mine and she said that can't happen in SA....why is Nigeria such a pathetic place...? Must we allow things to just go on?

I earn quite cool aside salary...fiverr has been doing it for years...I want to see how much I can help in this situation with info viral and I wanted to hear mature reasons why firms outsource their services....I beliv some top men hijack these firms to make more money and if we don't speak...it will continue...what about people without any help at all?

I am a young man who belivs that "let's make a move first'

Not just do and get your self better of and move on! No...we should think on how to better this society...no matter how far we run...Nigeria is our country..

Most telcos in Nigeria are all multinational I.e having presence in other countries around the world. Now imagination much multinational firms paying 35,000 as monthly salary,it against the culture if such firms.

Outsourcing gives room for efficiency,reduced cost and at the same time cheap salary ...
Shell,Chevron etc do outsource most of their services too.

Have u heard of low morale before? Customer service in Nigeria is not bad becus of phone u are talking about, it is bad becus people aren't happy wit the job and are doing it becus of no job and are constantly using the means to check for another job. Treat ur workers rightly and they will gladly do away with certain things... Customer service is poor becus of bad work condition...well, u really don't understand the shit that goes on in there...sad and frustrated staff

All these big firms aren't doing this outsourcing thing becus of the money...they are doing it becus of the greediness of the few. Outsourcing is a global game but I trust Nigerians , they will always use in a wicked manner....this must stop if we voice out really hard...I will do my very best to get this heard to major media outfits...I need few of them to do under ground cover story on this issue including foreign media houses...

It is not really about me...I av been into fiverr for years now and I make reasonable income to back up but I pity those who are heavily affected ... My issue is why this wicked act? Not really fair and this must stop..

You are kidding, right? They are using their phones to apply for jobs at work? Oyaa people look at this! Well, I just got to work, and morale here is low too, but you guess what, I'm still gonna put my phone away and concentrate on my work!

It's a free economy bro. If you want to change it ask your senator to sponsor a bill to stop outsourcing. Until then, MTN is not doing anything illegal. Almost every company around the world does it. It's unfair, I get it, but it is not illegal.
Even when it does not folow the laid dowm minimum wage scale? and inhumanity and exploitation?

Don't get it twisted sis...no one is using phone at work...

I just painted picture of the scene and nothing else. The point is not the phone...no one is using it. I'm askingbwhy they outsource their services when they can still pay these staff better salary and avoid bonuses attached to their real staff? That is the question...no one is using phone...calls come in endlessly so, no time to use phone. Was only painting the environment which is people should be paid for the stress they pass through...

The point is, there is more to this outsourcing than this. Simple.. Stop painting picture of what is not!

Then it is all up to you. You can either reject the position because of their crappy work conditions, or take it and like by their renumerations and policies.

I think while benefits of Outsourcing are so obvious that it seems to be very trendy in business and management today, it is rather best not to view it in isolation. I found this piece that details the pros and cons of Outsourcing and Insourcing

Why do companies really outsource their services?

Well the answer to this question is very broad, ill just elaborate some. First thing is the lower labour and operational costs, we all know about it right? Second is that the companies outsource so that they can focus more on the business core processes while delegating non-core tasks to a third party firm. Third is because businesses can access to highly trained and skilled specialists. There's still more reason why companies outsource but ill just leave these 3 reasons here.

Nawa o,I do not know if some people don't get what this guy is saying....but to me what I can say from this whole issue is dt fine let's say outsourcing is a necessity for most organizations, but at least the money these outsourcing firms are making per head is just too much. How can an organization budget let's say 100k per worker and these outsourcing firms pay 45k..you guys shd check it now...it's too much and it's not fair,nawa o,they r taking over 50% of d salary,and someone wld sit down there and tell me it's ryt. For the fact dt most outsourcing firms make over 50% per head doesn't make d act ryt....dts just my tot....and pls nobody shd insult me, I'm just saying my thoughts, if u feel u also ve ur own thoughts,pls say it without any insults. Thank you.

Some of the employer in MTN have stake in the contract.
Princedapace:


I think is deeper than that bro....check out in this case of Mtn and ISON BPO...when you break down the money Mtn must he spending per CCR, it should be close to 100k...why not take it up and pay them that and avoid other bonuses you give to your real staff? At least, these workers can be useful with such pay not with the low pay given to them by the company you offered the contract. I think it is deeper than the time and money thing. I think some people within the company may be making real money from this outsourcing of a thing. Nigerian graduates are really suffering. This society is unfair. What is 35k to 45k per month with all the stress associated with the work and the state of the economy?

Companies are turning to customer service outsourcing as a cost-effective and efficient way to improve their operations. This involves collaborating with external providers that have the necessary expertise and resources to handle customer service tasks on behalf of the company. Despite potential drawbacks like losing control over the customer experience, many businesses have found outsourcing to be a valuable solution for certain aspects of their services.

You outsource for three reasons...but let me tell you, there are jobs not meant for graduates. A CCR is not a graduate job. To be frank. A graduate is trained to manage. To be a manager. CCR positions are meant for O'level holders. It is because of the the high unemployment rate that is why you see graduate taking up jobs not meant for them. Same goes for bank tellers and counters. These positions were initially designed for O'level holders....but because graduates are willing to take up these positions...shit happens
To the subject:

When you outsource, you are not liable or responsible for the staff....meaning you do not need to pay welfare packages like housing, transport, furniture, education, lunch etc

You don't think twice if you want to send them packing because you do not need to pay he/she off. No settlement.

With all these off your neck there will be so much profits for the greedy shareholders to share....... cheesy
