contracting gravy train only temporary until india takes over

[Brussels Slumdog]

Its the PERM gravy train that´s only temporary

Everytime a company outsources 50 plus PERMS ,who thought that their job was secure loose their job Contractors are then brought in to sort out the mess.
PERMS normally have no experience in sorting out mess.
I now check and manage configurations I used to do myself which increases the lenght of my contract and decreases my stress.
The Indians cannot speak French and the French cant understand Indian English so there is still work in Belgium and France.

This process has already begun as call centres, admin jobs and IT staff get made redundant as their work is moved to Indian companies.

oh and don't expect this to be an election issue, all those 'main' parties are quite happy to export our jobs to India in this 'globalised' world.

You pay peanuts, you get monkeys ....... or in this case Indians.

That's a great point, I never thought about it but yes Indians would learn English/American which means countries not using the 'global language' would be more protected.

There's a plan B... specialist language training for Indians

Yes, I have had a good 'temporary' 12+ years out of the train.

Another 5-10 and I won't care if everything is offshored.

The French do outsource to India. I have worked in Parisian offices with lots of Indians, onsite and offshore.

They also outsource to North Africa, where they do speak French. So if you think your speaking French will get you a job in Paris with Société Générale, think again: it will get you a job in Algeria with the outsourcer for Société Générale. At Algerian rates.

That's what I said in the 1980s. I can't deny that a got a good run, but I still seem to need that 5-10 years more .....

You get paid to export your children's jobs. Think about it.

You say that as if we're doing something wrong? How can I influence what global corp wants to do other than stop using their services?

stop voting for the same old politicians who allow companies to rip us all off and export our jobs abroad
