Bobs and hocking flem

[Naaarwich]

A Bob isn't an Indian, it's an Indian who is working in/for a UK company.

Why on earth would an Indian brought up in Britain be different than a white or black person brought up here? Surely you're not suggesting racial characteristics?

You have to understand, in my neck of the woods we dont see many Bobs - the people who are different here are the ones with only 5 fingers :-) How you people can swim without proper webbing, we Norfolk people will never understand.

If you are as good as some of you claim to be you shouldn't be scared of bobs.

Unfortunately those who make the decision to offshore a department's work are often those unable to judge technical ability nor productivity; I hope for their sake they're getting a hefty kickback.

Otherwise I completely agree.

Good people will always have roles.
That's because good people make a big difference in one way or another.
Mediocrities are just bums on seats, so may as well get a cheaper bob.

That's business.

Bobs do grunt roles in banks: ETL and Data Migration , though a few BAs are popping up.

I don't compete with them but they are involved in the projects I do.

They are a bit like kids doing work experience. You don't expect much out of them, you don't let them loose on anything critical.

I always have a Plan B if I'm dependent on Bob output.

Talking of which, you still looking for another seat and relying on wifie's allowance or are things looking up in the janitor field?

At Mine Bobs produce critical reporting but then again, they are managed by a guy who graduated only last June. Cost cutting.

For the past 2 days I've had a bob either side of me and both stink. So much so I have been out and bought an air freshener thing that is now sat on my desk. It is practically under my nose, but their pits are winning!

Send 'em an anonymous email, or better still, from a hotmail account in the name of their boss, telling them to shower more often

Just been told that the team I work in is moving so I only have to put up with the stench for another 2 weeks!
