    I've found that certain offshore teams have had a tendency to deliver the bare minimum without any proactive impetus. I've also seen quite a bit of slopey shoulders / downright lies to try and get out of things, eg. yesterday we asked the team in Bangalore who was monitoring the service requests with the vendor and were told immediately "there aren't any open requests, so we don't have to monitor them". While on the call, I looked up one of the requests, and the last update (over a month ago) was from the vendor saying "I can't transfer this to the specific team as it's a new request - please close this one and raise a new one for that team". Today's call "oh yes, he has raised the SR and is managing it..."

    I currently work with two different off-shore centres in different countries - the good guys are good, but there's a lot of laziness out there that I see.
    +1 to all that.

      Now we wait and see if either fly.
      Reply is basically take it or leave it.

      Just checking if I work notice or immediate termination.

        Simple - if they aren't honouring the contract now, then why should you honour it when you choose to leave?
