I doubt we'd be so lucky as to see them move any of the cheaper overseas call center jobs back to the US... When they pulled this maneuver a few months ago, shuffling jobs around to keep the HE tax credit after layoffs, they just moved the jobs of some relatively competent and well-liked US-based call centers to HE.

they should the call centers over sea is the one of the worst things for member service , they are bad and don't care what happens over here . so screw them and who cares what happens to them we will all be out of jobs soon enough while Eddie just gets his money back with interest and our pensions will run dry before we current employees get to use a penny from it

They will just close a call center or two and move them to HE.
