Call centre agents !!!!!!!!!!

Transcript

If you're a call centre agent working in South Africa, please listen up. The AI job market cuts have started and they've started with the call centre agent jobs. It therefore means that if you are working in this industry, you need to start upskilling yourself. I can mention a few companies such as the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Uber, Microsoft, and even here at hotels that have started using AI and started cutting jobs in this sector. So please, please, please look into careers you can transition into, upskill yourself and do whatever it takes. Now, of course, there's a separate conversation about BEE and also, of course, the legality of this. But companies are always going to explore those options because it saves them a lot of money. So the best way you can protect yourself is to either upskill yourself or look into transitioning into other roles that are higher skilled than what you are currently doing now.
