    He used a name for the people of a certain country that would get you arrested if said in the street.

    The guy was a grade A tool anyway.

    Less than two weeks after it was announced that British Council civil service jobs were to be “outsourced” to India, it has emerged that the Government also intends to outsource sensitive tax processing work at HM Revenue and Customs to that nation as well.

    The proposals form part of a Government plan to cut costs by £205 million a year under a project code named “Quantum.” News of the cuts were revealed in a recent issue of the magazine Computer Weekly.

    A leaked memo to HMRC staff from the Public and Commercial Services Union Capgemini group said that the Quantum project included looking at the “potential off-shoring of some future work.”

    Capgemini, which employs 18,000 of its 92,000 employees in India, has offices in Chennai (Madras), Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata (Calcutta), Bangalore and Mumbai.
    Can't even rely on the Public Sector these days

    I would have thought if he had 10 years banking then he could easily ace one of these said banking contracts that are on jobserve...?

    All contracts do come to an end sometime and the fact that he had it for 5 years shows that he must have been dong something right! right?

    I have been working within Banking for over 10 years! And in present contract for just over half of that. Before the flame throwers come out I know I've had a good run, but I have also lived pretty well and am not sitting on a pot of gold now.

    Also I look around and see the level of some of the contractors working in my present bank and I find it hard to believe how some of them have jobs.

    Rant over !
    UK technology jobs were sacrificied to protect other UK industries at the world trade talks. Should these get ratified it will get worse.

    HTH
