IBM in, Epixtar out?

IBM Business Services has formally launched its Philippine operation.
This IBM division comes from the acquisition of Procter & Gamble’s HR shared services center. P&G has also outsourced its global IT infrastructure to IBM competitor, HP. This group is doing Business Transformation Outsourcing (BTO), along with another acquisition IBM Daksh which does customer relationship management (CRM) and call center operations. Daksh opened in the Philippines shortly before its acquisition by IBM.
IBM to expand Philippines outsourcing business quotes IBM executives moving more operations to Manila, with North American clients driving the demand.
IBM’s neighbor in Eastwood City isn’t doing as well. Epixtar Corp has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, or reorganization. The CEO says in the press release:
The action is the necessary and responsible step to preserve Epixtar’s value for our creditors, customers, employees, business partners and other stakeholders as we address our financial challenges and work to secure our future.
Of course the release fails to disclose what conditions led to this filing. It could be related to its labor case, or the “cramming” practices done on US consumers. A US stock market analysis site describes it:
Epixtar, a company with over $100 million market capitalization (over $7.10 per share), is a company who laughs in the face of not only the SEC but in the face of the FBI, the US Attorney, many State Attorney Generals, the FCC, the FTC and many other regulatory agencies whose function is to protect consumers from fraud. Their attitude, as you we read for yourself below, is that they will merely pay an insignificant fine for their massive cramming enterprise!
We are outraged at Epixtar’s (OTCBB: EPXR) very existence and remain terribly concerned that they will continue to prey on unsuspecting victims. Epixtar is potentially the most costly and far reaching contrived scam we have ever encountered.
Do they carry out these scams from their Philippine operations? While promising young people a call center career? (Modeled by KC Montero and Sarah Meier). How about their illustrious advisory board?

People who are no longer at Epixtar leave for a reason, not that they suck or you may say. Agents, managers, supervisors and QA that left Epixtar are the best there is because they are not afraid to conquer new places. Those that stay and pretend they love the system are losers in all aspect, afraid to resign because they know no company will accept them because they were promoted by sleeping with and licking expats ass and balls.
after nyo mag work sa company dami nyong sinasabing masama eh nagresign na nman kayo eh bat di pa kayo manahimik? pinoy tlga laging ganyan halip na suportahan ang kapwa lalo pang tinatapakan…….i have alot of good memories in this company kaya nalulungkot ako sa maga issues guys let’s pray nlang for the company madaming agents na umaasa at madaming mawawalan ng trabaho.
true ba to? very shocking naman….for me i always think possitive nlang…i learned a lot from ms hazel tollero&mamu shie they’re my best trainers….kahit saang company kayo magpunta guys may kabulukan kung laging magpapaapekto kayo sa mga negative sides ayan believe me lipat nlang kayo nga lipat sa ibang company kahit nman matagal na yang issue a magsasara na eh okay naman ang pasahod…..y ka magpapaapekto if true nga a magsasara as long as sinuswelduhan ka go! madami pa nmang callcenter dyan if ever di bah…so while nasa company pa kayo try to help nlang benta lang guys…..god bless u all
i dot think so
Most of the expats are sex maniacs and gay.
I work for Epixtar for 3 years and Robb Auber for 4 years always fair and help people. I will pray for you say bad things beacuse you are not good people to spread lies.
Epixtar is better now. John Callaghan fired many people in SV beacuse it was to big. I am still here because I work hard. Everyone work hard and I sure have fun with good pay!!!
Management has always taken care of us. We have a very liberal atmosphere however its sad that people take advantage when others tend to excel. Obviously, the negative remarks are from those who can never excel. Tigilan na natin ang crab mentality. Epixtar has always been my home as im sure for many agents too. We will always support and strive to contribute to its future success.
EPixtar has had problem before but is still alive with a completly new team. The old team was not good or honest. Now there is very few AMeri and many pinoy. Make me ashamed to see remarks from ignorant people who are no longer at EPX because they suck. Some of us are happy here and want to make company strong. They are very fair and always get pay and bonus!!!!!
Epixtar is gud place to work. I get my pay always on time and never have delay salary. I make over 45 thou peso my last pay. long live Epixtar!!
