Comment on: Topic 'Who is or was the greatest Guitarist?': ly should slow it down a bit so he can stick around a while longer Keith Richards - actually my #1 choice only because, well duh! He's the ultimate ROCK STAR from the ultimate ROCK BAND of all time. Oh, and much love to Mick Jagger - THE only rock band front man spanning 5+ decades and still bringing the moves on stage. Glimmer Twins Prince - his purple highness, a true original, eccentric and nothing compares to his early funk-a-delic purple reign era tunes Slash - really wish GNR didn't dissolve so early, but his other music is good too Flea - representing the bass guitar department. No one else comes close to RHCP Dave Grohl - not so much for guitar playing as all around musicianship. Drums, guitar, vocals - killer screams, song writing and magnificent concert performances. Also not a bad documentary film maker - check out Sound City Movie …; Added by Kelly Blokdijk at 10:38pm on February 28, 2013

Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v1.21': Indian professional's psyche. We are not developed to be proactive, and establish ground rules wherein the misunderstood and misspoken words are righted from the wrong. In Indian culture, the ability to asborb a recent mistake and then go on to address it is nearly asbent. Also, in a conversation, generally being an avid and insterested listener who then solves a problem is inherently absent especially in the new India where TV radio and media hype the aggressive and inveterate as more dynamic rather than the attentive and the assertive type. Taking the heat and then getting back is not especially well trained in a culture that is opaque on listening.. The mindset is largely fixed and stereotypes rapidly form which don't dissolve as quickly even when things get better. This is again a byproduct of a largely fatalistic outlook, though there has been more helpful changes recently So, if a call, for example veers of course as in John's case it is likely that there is a endemic effect on that person atleast for some time . I only hope that this call center rep. did not carry on the negative mental filter to the later calls. As in China so in India: When foreign clients squeeze every penny out from their vendor, there is a direct quality reduction in goods and services. Though I have had many experiences with Indian call centers, I have also noticed that spotty customer service is sporadic and in recent times there has been too many providers trying to outbeat competition soley on costs and then think they can ramp the service. It doesn't work like that in this thankless industry as employee turnover is ridiculously high even in established firms and the good ones move on quickly. So what we get is what is there ( a minor play on on Rumsfeld's advice with his cold tongue to our troops in Iraq) Also, the Indian professional class is highly stratified with an overeager tendency to put down lower rung people on the corporate ladder. This in many ways accentuates the problem for the folks who are handling the calls. In India, there is a constant need to prove ourselves especially in the eyes of our supervisor and among peers for who and what we are and where we are going upwardly mobile, to. Though many a call center person really are the first time earners of decent salary in their family tree and are helping their respective families to climbup economically, they are also constantly shortchanging themselves trying to prove their social worth by frittering in wantonly avoidable ways. Sometimes 20-30 % of their salaries go on parties and expenses that they know they don't like but end up doing because of peer social pressures. So, John, in your India trip if it is possible try to connect and spent time over coffeee with a real customer service guy that you can pick to choose and try to understand his or her family background and his or her aspirations directly as there is a helluva lot management prescreening and preselection that is largely unhelpful for the curious and real observer. if you get successful to engage one on one with your pick, then you can in your own ways unravel the cultural and social changes that are useful pointers All the best Siva…; Added by Siva Subramaniam at 11:52am on October 3, 2008
