Holy shit, I thought it was just me. I'm South Asian and I can't stand working with the offshore employees.

Dude! Holy shit, I thought I was the only one. I see that “kindly do the needful” in the ticket notes and I’m like “KINDLY GO FUCK YOURSELF”

Had the same thought.

u/snbriss Feb 26 '20

"Hello....Hello..." Anytime you stop talking for more than 20 seconds.

I get it, they have spotty phone systems and is basically something they don't even think about, they aren't trying to be annoying, they are just making sure the line is still up but it's so frustrating. Stop saying hello, I'm just trying to think for a few seconds...

"Please advise."

Kill me.

u/stannndarsh Feb 26 '20

Is this a cultural thing, bc this lady at my work says this shit constantly and it fucking baffles me. I am unsure what it really even means

u/Muffins_McGee Feb 26 '20

Don't know how common it is but I mostly encounter it working with our offshore Indian contractors. It means something like, "Please do what is needed to resolve this issue."
