        YMMV.
        Hey

        Are any of these Indian recruitment companies a member of REC*?

        If not, then may be that the question that will help us all out to filter.

            Sounds like they've used you to get the contract then exercised their right of substitution before you even started it! Utter filth.

              Indians are mostly nice guys, just trying to survive. Corporate classes are managing this really. They are saying: We have other cheaper people to do the same as what you are doing. It is what happened in the industrial evolution and now is happening with a globalism twist.

              I don't like that they eat with their fingers I mean after using the keyboard, I mean the keyboard has more germs than the toilet I believe.. I do that at home ... but is different.. no one will know.

                Yep, and I'm already seeing Indian outsourcers muscled out by newcomers.

                  This is so bad.
                  Is this common?

                    How do you mean? I thought the Romanians were more into pickpocketing than IT?
