MI6 'OUTSOURCING TORTURE TO INDIAN CALL CENTRE'

THE security services have opened a 24-hour torture centre staffed by low-wage Indian workers, it was claimed last night.

Maverick Tory MP David Davis said the government's low-cost torture policy was putting hundreds of experienced British sadists on the dole.

I can't accept an article written by someone like this:
http://www.simple-talk.com/author/ty-anderson/
http://www.linkedin.com/ppl/webprofi...nk=vw_pprofile

Not exactly a world authority on business outsourcing. The article is also a tad outdated written in 2007, the year the brown stuff hit the fan.

I'm not saying that outsourcing will not succeed, it has alot of advantages, however it is like everything else. There will be alot of burnt fingers and some success stories.

Whats happening at the moment is what they call in the city, A market shake.

There are a lot of headless chickens running around, a lot of doom sayers and a lot of tulips being planted.

One fundamental thing everyone has missed here, India can supply labour cheaper, which may affect UK unemployment, UK unemployment may affect market sales of products manufactured cheaply in India and China, which basically has happened due to the fact we are talking of recession, which has an adverse affect on the asian economies. Will the asian economies have the buying power european economies? Will there be a total shift of economic power houses?

There are thousands of other articles in a similar vein, pick any one you like, though they are not difficult to write- just look around you and tell us what you see.

WHS - very sound advice

Beats me why people keep humouring this character.

Seems to be a pattern with you- you have no valid argument so stoop to personal abuse........

I would not listen to PZZ, he seems to be here on the wind up, trying to argue that it is OK for agents to go fishing last month. I very much doubt he is who he says he is.

In my last four contracts, I have saved the client considerably more than I charged them for doing the work. On that basis, I am clearly underpaid...

No doubt, but they would like to pay you even less if they could I suspect.

Here’s an idea, knock up a word doc that just says “This job ad is being reported to ICTabuse.net” and register it with Jobserve as a CV then apply for the role via ‘apply now’.

Should get some interesting replies.

Analogies can be drawn to Warren Buffet's assessment of the causes of the credit crunch:

There's a "natural progression" to how good new ideas go wrong. He called this progression the "three I's." First come the innovators, who see opportunities that others don't. Then come the imitators, who copy what the innovators have done. And then come the idiots, whose avarice undoes the very innovations they are trying to use to get rich.

PZZ you are indisputably allied with the idiots.

Unlikely, come back in a years time and prove me wrong if you can.
