a rather selfish approach to keep things polite.

- you want us to be more xenophobic, but in the same time steal local jobs for yourself, with our pay, but your local expenses. just WOW

- there are specific laws to prevent what you want to do, at least in some cases. it's called protection of local market, and a very good think to do, helps economy long term.

- again, xenophobic WHAT? I sit in 1 row here with Swiss, British (err... Scotch), Belgian, Kiwi, Chinese, French, Dutch, Ukrainian, Indian, Philippino etc. No issues whatsoever.

- you have a naive view of how good remote Indian resources are. technical skills happen to be OK in many cases, but all remaining, and at least EQUALLY necessary are not. 0 initiative, 0 willingness to take any risk/personal responsibility for decisions. "please hand me over perfect spec and I'll get it done" is nice, but doesn't work in world without perfect spec, or any spec at all. Plus Bangalore is not cheap anymore, Pune is so-so. Eastern Europe wins so far in price/value ratio.

and I could go on and on... one strongly suspect troll there :)

>err... Scotch

Wouldn't recommend calling us Scots "Scotch". We're not whisky ;)

Isn't British inoffensive to Scots? Odd he decided to bundle an entire nation with whiskey :P

[arethuza]

I think people in the UK who refer to themselves as "British" are actually in the minority - most people I know would say they are English, Scottish etc.

[dvdcxn]

It's inoffensive but can be taken hesitantly as a lot of people seem to mistakenly think it's synonymous with "English".

my bad (and your mistake for making such a damn good drink :))

Thanks for the morning chuckle....

That was sarcasm, sorry you couldn't detect it. Some of us love to travel and experience other cultures.

I'm well aware of traditional "Indian resources", one's that are trained over a 3 month period and passed off as "Expert in his field", and coached to give B.S. responses while they scour for another underling with better skills suited for the project.

But there are others who truly understand the product needs, and aren't afraid to engage in a discussion to figure out the best outcome for the product rather than to satisfy the clients.

Keeping things polite is a good intention, but this is far from keeping things polite.
