Call Center News: Teleperformance acquires Aegis

Seems that BPO companies are on a shopping spree, after Convergys bought Stream, Teleperformance has acquired Aegis. According to reports the deal was closed for $ 610 million

My Experience: I was working as L2 wit Dell Mall Of Asia way back in 2009 when I was about to start my day a news broke that TP has purchased the Dell MOA site. Some of the people stay but most of them accepted the severance pay that Dell offered. I decided to stay to see what the environment is like and during that time I know that a 150K pesos package is not enough if you won't be able to find work within 2 months. I have not experienced any salary disputes and was happy with the attendance bonus that I'm getting however, others were complaining of pay disputes and were joking that the pay disputes of the employees was the source of funds for buying the site. Before I left TP for Thomson Reuters the company decided to change the bank payroll provider and it looks like they have resolved this pay disputes after that.

13th Month Pay Bonus Calculator

There are a lot of articles that have been published on how to compute the 13th month pay and I have read most of it however, I think it’s missing the actual calculator that can compute our estimated 13th month pay. The 13th month pay calculator that we have created would be beneficial especially for those employees who have been employed by the company for less than a year because, the amount of the 13th month pay will be pro-rated (will depend on the number of days or months of service). Based on DOLE’s Department Advisory  the number of days for leave without pay should be taken into consideration. Computation 1: If you have been employed by your company for more than a year use the computation below; Computation 2: Pro- Rated computation.

Must Watch: An Australian Contacts BPO in Tagalog

Remember the guy who ordered "manok ng kaligayan"(chicken joy) in Jollibee? He's back this time he contacts a call center in Manila speaking in fluent Filipino language. See the description below from his Youtube channel. Check out my hilarious phone call to a Philippine call center earlier this year. The first time I called was actually on legitimate business but after all the laughs, I couldn’t help but call back a few more times. Like always this was totally unscripted and unplanned and hope you enjoy. If you like it please don’t forget to share, it’s the most important thing you can do to help Chris Urbano make more great content. As always email me anytime at chris@maputingcooking.com ... Here's the video: Does your center allow you to speak in the vernacular? We would like to hear from you. Share your experience remember sharing is caring.
