Heaviest Bob Shops

[GB9]

Rather than picking on the poor chaps who are just using the system to their advantage, do we know which organisations are the heaviest users of outsourcing companies?

Particular ones I am aware of are LBG, AZ and Morrisons.

Can anyone either confirm / deny the above or add any more?

I think it would be much quicker to assume they all do and list the ones that don't use them much IMO HTH.

I would agree that the majority probably do, however some seem to have abandoned the Great British worker almost in totality in favour of what from my experience is a very poor and expensive substitute.

They know no better (then outsourcing) so get what they deserve.

I have been to 4 interviews in the recent past, and 2 of them had a significant indian outsource element.

You have to ask the bean-counters why they make such decisions.

Sour grapes much?

I believe that the UK's largest building society is planning to outsource all its development roles offshore.

I really don't understand why they do this. Most of the outsourcing companies are no longer as cheap as they used to be, they have a high turnover of staff. I'm sure some of you have worked with companies that have staff with some knowledge but in all my experience, I have yet to have a project whereby I need to onshore to get the job done.
