Trouble at Work

The downside of working for a foreign company outsourcing in a third world country is that there is a lot of political baggage that come with it. Plus the feeling that we're selling our selves short by providing 'cheap' labor to multinational companies who get exhorbitant profit from 'exploiting' what 3rd world countries have to offer.

My attitude has always been as long as you can use each other then its ok. This coming from someone working for one of those call centers. I'm there because the job is easy and the pay is good. I'm treating it as a sort of day job to enable myself to save money and at the same time make time for my other interests. In 'normal' jobs this is next to impossible since you work long hours (usually six days a week) and the pay is quite dismal. These are the reasons why i'm staying.

But...I don't know how long these could keep me from leaving. I just hope i finish what i've set out to do before that time comes.
