Shouldn’t it say “explain” rather than “understand”?I did tech support for years, and one company tried to outsource some of the support duties to India (claiming that they would cover the night hours). All of the customers complained about the terrible job they did and only wanted to talk to the American team. The main issue was that the Indian team was so literal and they went totally by the book (so to speak). If the customer reported an issue, if they couldn’t duplicate it immediately, they just closed the ticket. Whereas the Americans would keep asking questions and trying different things until we solved the problem and made the customer happy.
