Im happy to be with the best - CONVERGYS, Outthinking! Outdoing

Recession - In macroeconomics, a recession is generally associated with a decline in a country's real gross domestic product (GDP), or negative real economic growth. According to one widespread definition, a recession occurs when real growth is negative for two or more successive quarters of a year. However, there are differing definitions: In the United States, the National Bureau of Economic Research's (NBER) Business Cycle Dating Committee ultimately decides whether the economy has fallen into a recession. The NBER defines a recession as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production and wholesale-retail sales."[1]

I would have to say, I feel the effect of recession in the call center business. Just recently, I heard that a call center filed insolvency. Another call center released 720 specialist because they can't sustain the headcount. Sad but true.

Im happy because I'm a part of one of the leaders in the call center industry, outthinking, outdoing. Yes we were hit, but since the company is super stable... they found the specialist a new home. This makes me proud to be a member of the Convergys Family.
