No employer talks like that ever.

I laugh, but it's sad.

Even if you only pay the Inidians 20% of what a similar person would make here, it can still be a money-losing proposition. Fact is, an Indian call centre is an easy way to lose customers, because it often takes several more calls to resolve an issue. This isn't so much the case with banks (who don't have much in the way of competition), but in more competitive industries, where customers can easily defect to another company, my friend tells me that out-sourcing to third-world countries is not considered the panacea it once was.

My friend works for a hi-tech firm that has already discovered this. Even if you only pay the Inidians 20% of what a similar person would make here, it can still be a money-losing proposition.

Knowing absolutely nothing about this situation, or if the disgruntled ex-employee's claims are true, I am nonetheless outraged.

Banks, I impotently shake my fist at you, adn will join a Facebook Page denouncing you. How do you like them apples!

According to some recent stories in the Hollywood Reporter, the newest victim of outsourcing is the CGI and SPFX business in California. In order to maximize profits, the studios are slashing their effects budgets massively but they're still expecting the FX people to deliver Avatar-grade product for movies and TV on a shoe-string financing arrangement. Lots of FX houses have already gone bust and seen their work sent overseas to India and Sri Lanka where the workers are paid a fraction of what their American counter-parts are getting.

But Opposition NDP Leader Tom Mulcair slammed RBC on Monday, along with the Conservatives, suggesting that government policies encourage this type of corporate behaviour.

"To allow temporary foreign workers, through this type of strategem, to be brought in to deprive Canadians of their livelihood is grotesque," he said.

"This is the worst type of corporate behaviour. But the government behaviour that is countenancing that type of corporate behaviour is even worse. The Conservatives should be ashamed of themselves."

In a telephone interview with Evan Solomon of CBC's Power & Politics, Nixon added that of the 21 employees used by iGATE, six are local, 13 are from India but are only here to manage the transition and are not temporary foreign workers. Only one worker, he said, is a temporary foreign worker.

However, RBC employee Dave Moreau, one of the employees affected by the move and whose complaints sparked the story, acknowledged in an interview on Power & Politics that it may only be one temporary worker involved

WTF is going on. Nothing seems to be what anybody says it is including the Bank, the Gov't and the opposition?



Here's what the bank is claiming.

So how the fek did this whole thing get this far out of hand and lead to a reaction that borders on the psychotic by some people?

I think a moment of quiet reflection would do everyone including Mr. Moreau a great deal of good. His story has caused untold problem that may not be justified.

Can't rep this, so here this should make you happy.

Are they as slutty as their M(a)cDonnell counterparts??
