Yet another reason not to be a Permie
"Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife. -
happens to contractors as well but they import the staff because they aren't replacing a UK worker.
do feel sorry for them but the government need to stop all confidential data going offshore. Think of the tax increase.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. -

This was how I got into my field.
The company I was working for were offshoring the Irish equivalent of my team to India and I was asked to go out as part of the team to train them up.
I came back and managed to wangle myself into becoming a part-time trainer for the UK team. Then when my team was offshored to India I went out again and trained up the replacements for myself and my colleagues. Most of the team were made redundant, but I got kept on, managed to get myself shifted into full-time training for other departments, built up a load of experience and then got made redundant a few years later with a nice payout.
Had one brief foray into permie-life since (11 months before redundancy - and no pay out )
