Intra Company Transfers

[The Lone Gunman]

I absolutely agree with Lone Gunman. I'm especially worried about the future of the industry in this country.

I emailed him but couldnt do the face to face and he wants people who have experienced this at first hand, not just those of us who have talked about it a bit.

All about 10 years too late.

This is the BBC remember. The conclusions will be that the ICTs provide a vital service in combating the skill shortage and are paid at rates higher than local workers. Nobody has been displaced and anyone that complains could never hold down the job for long anyway, is a social misfit, member of the BNP and a child killer.

I think my first post on the subject was on tulipe99 about 5 years ago during a debate about FTVs

Any preference on nationality?

I mean, not just Indians you know. Americans, Aussies etc. Those paler types with not so dodgy accents?

Or what about the other way - when we get transferred?

FFS Adapt or the jobs and the companies will go anyway.

Adapt? What, you mean get a visa to work in India? The Indian government is not stupid enough to hand those out.

No preference.
One of my biggest concerns is that we are giving contracts to foreign companies in the first place and my prime example at the moment would b ethe proposed new Nuclear power stations. I understand these are to be built by a French firm and I have no doubt they will import their own workers. So billions will be paid to a foreign firm and we wont even recover any tax. Any skills we might have wont be utilised and those with those skills will be either unemployed or working beneath their skill level.

* Isn't Gordon Browns brother a director of a French energy company?


edit: So go shove your attempt at racist innuendo in u endo.

No innuendo intended. I was being pretty blunt I thought.

There are some people I would consistently rely on to come out of the woodwork with anything like this, you and TE are two of them.

The argument may well be valid, but sure as tulip attracts flys it also gets sucks in every bigot with a rant to relay.

Re skill, retrain - accept the fact we live in a globalised world and do something about it other than whinge and rail to get protection - it won't happen and we'll just lose the jobs anyway.

So do you regard me as a racist bigot or someone with a valid argument?
Nobody in this thread has said anything remotely racist. If someone has experience of Indian ICTs then that is real experience, not racist experience.

How would you suggest those construction workers at the TOTAL plant adapt to being unemployed due to POLISH ICTs.
