    BBC

    Well, they will have to source them from overseas. Any suggestions?

      AtW is correct.

      There is and always will be a global glut of thick, ignorant people and a shortage of smart, hard working people.

      The trick is to pass off the thick ones as smart and make a buck.

          In between the lines should read: Intel (India) president Frank B Jones has second thoughts about moving to India. The standard of so called qualified staff is not up to the level expected nor are there the numbers of qualified staff that the Indian government said there was. Had we known; we would not have made the move.

              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!
