Infonxx renamed to KGB

according to my friend it supposed to mean “KGB” knowledge / info provider etc.

118-118!

:)

lame if not very sensationalists. i can’t see the connection between a call center and a “committee of/for state security” which can warrant a name patterned against one of biggest intelligence of the cold war era. why not pattern it against israel’s mossad instead since that is said to be the most efficient covert intelligence agency in the world.

ciao!

Hello.. Thank you for calling Komityet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti), my name is Boris. How can I help you today comrade?

LoL… wonder if my friend would want to use that spiel. ;)

I wonder how their employees feel about this. Call center workers are already having a difficult time making their “profession” sound like a legitimate long-term career but imagine. Hi, I work for KGB. Ha ha, I know.

?! Yugger?!

Well I guess you guys are right. The company is riding on the name recall of the defunct Russian intelligence agency. It didn’t have to mean anything literally… just like big companies like google in the US, Orange and even Virgin in Europe. It’s just a brand…In the US and Europe where apparently an agency or something once made a study, when asked who do they trust or call immediately when they needed information, among the names given, most respondents answered kgb. Apparently, it’s a trusted name when it comes to information (or intelligence) which is what INFONXX now kgb is getting into. It’s spreading its wings into a much bigger market, the retail and other information related businesses, not just directory assistance.

The name is definitely quirky. And people here in Manila or the Philippines who know about THE KGB are gonna think twice about its namesake kgb (small letters). But for those who have an open mind and those who see the big picture, maybe they should check out kgb philippines. It seems like an exciting phase for the company.

Oh well, what else do you know?

good name change in my opinion well thought out get the public intruiged in what it is even tho it is just giving you info not taking it

infonxx or kgb… whatever you may call it… if the company pays good then hell yeah go for it… i think thats the most important thing you’d look into… whats with the company name if you’re underpaid anyway

i’m from sta. rosa city.
when a friend who applied at infonxx told me about this, my first reaction was “ha???”. I honestly think the namechange is cheap and too trivial. it’s a cheesy attempt at getting attention and i seriously doubt that the name kgb will boost their corporate image. the old russian spy agency is gone anyways — it’s history. and curiously, does the name kgb actually relate to the company’s line of business? arrgh!.. i don’t think so.

if you’re an employee there, would you proudly say “I work for the kgb” ? Well, you could tell, with a little trivial humor, about kgb being a contact center and not an espionage agency. but i don’t think the new name gives impact to the level that you could somehow be proud about it.

pines doesn’t have a fucking clue about his business or certainly the internet. my daddy owns his ass. i work for the guy and he is a total punk.

if he would listen to me he would know what to do in this space. i am a tisch after all he ought to kiss all our asses.

Yes, its name is similar to the Russian Security Agency. But kgb simply stands for “knowledge generation bureau” which is a very interesting name. you should check the ads at kgbkgb.com and you’ll find it very interesting.

david tisch, mr. robert pines is a multi-millionaire. he sure knows what he’s doing because his business is expanding. he was my former boss and all i can say is that he’s a great guy. you wouldn’t know he’s very rich because he’s very low profile.

I hope i can get another job after my previous tl gave me the lousy training.

Any one else want to apply D.A. for 411?

i’m not quite sure how you figure at the american call center that we make $12-$18 an hour! but we are quite a bit less then that, the average csr makes approx. $9.75! which american call centers are paid that much? i’m interested in relocating! no csr at the kansas call center makes that!
