Cebu's SunStar Daily (tabloid-sized newspaper) will soon publish a magazine dedicated to call center people (I raise my hand, ehem ;) ).
Named Log/on, this magazine sports the slogan "dissecting the BPO culture."
BPO -- Business Process Outsourcing -- is the idea that makes call centers thrive in India, China, and Third World countries like Pinas. ;)
Hmm, wonder what they mean by 'culture' -- is it the behavior at work demanded by the clients'/vendors' bottomline? Is it the spirit generated by the interconnected lives of all the people high and low brought into this game? Or is it just the collective sleaze steaming (there's a pun) from the call center industry and it's camp followers -- some call it "The Call Center Lifestyle". Probably all of these.
The teaser for the maiden issue is intriguing -- tattoed and blinged androgynous male, face hidden and the rest of the artwork obscured by a (is that x-tacy) haze of neon retro motifs . . . kewl.
Maybe they intend to tackle the surface glitter first -- then the 'inside' stories . . . (tales of triumph, tales of woe . . .).
While waiting, find something comfy to sit on -- "I HAVE A BOOK," said the Death of Discworld in Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic.
PostScript:
Glitter delivered. If you think by "dissecting" they mean "hard hitting analysis," look elsewhere. Don't look for depth in an industry that thrives on glitz, glamour and turnover (oh, and bend over).
