Aneesh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cCall centers become sort of emblematic of what everyone\u2019s life will be,\u201d said Aneesh, who worked in one while in India on a MacArthur Grant during the 2004-05 school year. \u201cMany features of call centers are actually features of modern life, in some ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Call center workers cater mainly to customers in western countries \u2013 Australia, Great Britain, and the United States, all of which are hours ahead or behind India\u2019s time zone. Workers start their shifts in the late afternoon and get off in the wee hours of the morning. They must be flexible, adjusting to ever-changing work regimes.<\/p>\n<p>The call center Aneesh worked in was doing a telemarketing campaign for a British company. He gave up the job because the hours were too difficult for his wife and then 3-year-old son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was leaving around 4:30, 5 in the afternoon, before my son came back from daycare,\u201d Aneesh said. \u201cThen I would work and I would come back home at around 2 or 3 in the morning, and I would immediately go to bed. Everyone was sleeping already. And by the time I woke up, everyone was gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In doing research, he found that aspect of call center culture was being replicated around the world as night and shift work becomes increasingly prevalent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are so many workers working at night,\u201d he said. \u201cNot just nurses \u2026 or obviously emergency workers, or healthcare workers. But with a 24-hour economy, there is some startling evidence that this is becoming the majority norm in the west.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tellingly, prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs for sleep disorders have increased dramatically in the past decade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Staying neutral<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/08\/neutral-accent-book-2914dzb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-19718 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/08\/neutral-accent-book-2914dzb-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"neutral-accent-book\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/08\/neutral-accent-book-2914dzb-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/08\/neutral-accent-book-2914dzb.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Or take a look at the title of the book \u2013 neutral accent. English is a second language for many call center workers, who are trained to place the emphasis on syllables in a cadence English speakers are familiar with and recognize common slang and idioms like \u201cdude\u201d and \u201cgeek.\u201d Even the workers\u2019 identities are neutralized; Sanjeet might go by the name Tim while he\u2019s working because a familiar-sounding name plays better over the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Now that communication and commerce are global, Aneesh predicts that speech and identity will increasingly need to be neutralized so people the world over can understand each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know how what we are going to say will be (interpreted) by the other person in the end,\u201d Aneesh said. \u201cIn the case of a cross-continental, over-the-phone conversation, where there\u2019s no body language and no cultural norms in place, how can you communicate?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The answer is carefully and neutrally \u2013 especially if you\u2019re calling American households during the evening when families are having dinner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of us agreed that the callers from Britain were actually very polite people \u2013 polite in the sense that they would hear the full rap before saying no. They wouldn\u2019t hang up on you; they wouldn\u2019t curse or say racial slurs,\u201d Aneesh said. \u201cI was frankly very surprised because Americans turned out to be the most rude. Then I realized the reason was that the divide between the public and private time is not as rigid or strict in other countries, such as England or Australia. But Americans have a very clear sense of privacy and dislike calls during either the morning hours or evening hours, which are their private times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Going digital<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All of us, however, are being changed by new technology used at call centers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not the agent who\u2019s dialing the number; it\u2019s a software program called a dialer that chooses a number based on data culled from customer relations databases. It picks up that you\u2019re a certain age, certain demographic, living in a certain area, and you might have certain needs,\u201d Aneesh said.<\/p>\n<p>Dialers examine our digital profiles, established through tax forms, credit history, medical reports and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the previous book I came up with the idea of \u2018algocracy,\u2019 which means governance through algorithms,\u201d Aneesh said. \u201cThe algorithms decide who to call. For that to happen, a certain digital system identity has to be built up, in contrast to a social identity. I realized that most of us have system identities. We don\u2019t think that way, but in the future that may have even more effect on our life chances than our social identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aneesh\u2019s book is available at <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1dnvQCe\">http:\/\/amzn.to\/1dnvQCe<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>51ÁÔÆæ sociologist A.
