I don't really see the point in 95% of discrimination laws.

If a racist person wants to diminish his potential talent pool when hiring, that's his loss.

Exactly this

I don't really see the point in 95% of discrimination laws.

If a manager wants to diminish the potential for language misunderstandings when hiring, that's his gain.

FTFY - just looking at the flip side of the coin

It's not really discrimination then though.

Exactly - unless you are a sandal wearing, leftie, tree hugging, etc., etc.

What happens when the lizards start looking for jobs? Will the bobs complain that they can't understand them?

Has Zeity invented the Universal Translator yet?

Even though your door is always open?

Not a problem - lizards have to eat as well and are quite fond of the odd Indian

I don't mind working with Indians and they don't mind working with me. In fact when they work with me people tend to comment 'Here comes the Cowboy and Indians' :igmc

You'll usually find that the best spoken Indians have had the best education, attending either an international or boarding school before going on to one of the top universities.

We had the Head of IT India over at HQ for a few months. Sterling chap, super bright. Could only communicate in writing, as none of us could understand a word he said - far too fast and quiet.

First telephone conference with offshore team at my new gig. this morning. Couldn't understand a word the Indian developers offshore were saying, but thought it was best to keep my mouth shut, at least for now. No sooner had that thought crossed my mind when the onshore Indian developer sat at the side of me started interrupting the entire offshore team - every thirty seconds - complaining that he couldn't understand a word they were saying.

Contracting these days is about learning how to sit back and have a good laugh - and then invoicing for it.
