Apparently firms operating in international markets, and more specifically IT firms, are not only teaching their support staff English (which is a good start) but they’re teaching them colloquialisms, sarcasm and cultural communication norms.
How about just hiring local support?
Yes, it’s a good thing they’re making the effort but surely they need to reexamine their priorities?
