I have dealt with telcos, credit card companies, and what have you.
Invariably SG customer service officers are more polite, more patient, more competent and more resourceful than outsourced foreign CSOs.
Outsourced CSO:
(a) Do not take pride in what they're doing
(b) Love to hang up on you abruptly, even when you have an urgent request
(c) Are not resourceful to find out how best to assist you, all they know is to follow the book
Worst offender: CITIBANK
Citibank outsourced a lot of their Customer service work to other countries. Quality deterioriated tremendously.
I just got one asshole who said he will call me back and hung up on me. Guess what. He never called me back.
When i called citibank again, I was lucky to get a Singaporean. He held me very quickly and competently, issue resolved in 5 minutes.
