Bobs and hocking flem

[psychocandy]

This is what winds me up most about offshoring: I wouldn't mind if offshoring was a worldwide search for the best talent but it isn't. It's about finding the cheapest people who *say* they know how to do something. You often get someone with no skills whatsoever who expects to be trained up, despite being touted as an expert.

I'm seriously thinking about having a no-contracting with an offshore team policy (which I know is difficult these days). If talented UK workers refused to pick up the pieces to keep the offshoring party going, and work was left entirely to the Bobs, offshoring would end tomorrow.

So thats almost every client in the UK then.... :-(

The last bobbette I interviewed started crying when I began asking her technical questions.

I sat beside a bobette during a training course, I had to move after an hour as her B.O was so bad.

Apparently they had a similar thing at one of my old clients.

They made all developers do a pair-programming exercise as part of the interview. Bob turned up, sat at the keyboard, said nothing, didn't press a key or make a mouse click, and sweated profusely for 15 mins, until someone asked him if he wanted to end the exercise, at which point he bolted for the door.

Wait till you're on a course with one who has bad breath! You need to get a different room which isnt easy if there's only one trainer \ presenter.
