    Thank you kind sirs! And there was me thinking this is just a cynical ploy and window dressing.

    The scary thing is that Labour (and the Conservatives) falls for this.
    "If one UK worker can create work for 10 Indian workers we believe we can do it on a neutral basis," he said.
    In other words, "we will create one job for every 10 we destroy".
    Drivel is my speciality

        Isn't this a bit like the Dilbert cartoon where he figures out that via a long chain they eventually outsource to themselves.

        Or could it perhaps be that 'Failure to Perform to Contract' lawsuits are becoming rather popular on the quiet - out of court settlement type of quiet these days.


        When contracts have huge values, so do the damages.

          My role was semi-outsourced a few years ago to Xansa. Interesting thing was, the end client was paying much more per day than for me, for a much worse service.

          I guess they figured they were half the cost of Accenture, etc. so they were getting a bargain.

            "The company already has a 2,000-strong UK workforce and will increase the headcount by 500 in 2007 at its existing facilities in Reading and new sites in lower cost parts of the UK, including Birmingham."

            So you will still not be able understand the person on the other end of helpdesk/callcentre.
