A recent media report raises a number of allegations concerning the use of offshore call centre operators, namely: (1) workers are often subjected to racism; (2) they experience work-related stress leading to clinical depression; (3) their health suffers due to interrupted sleep and unsanitary practice of sharing headphones, while some operators refuse toilet stops outside lunch breaks; and (4) offshore workers receive low wages. The companies mentioned in the report are Telstra, Dodo, and JP Morgan Chase & Co..
