At my last job the product our swallowed-up company had produced, and maintained, was sent to India. We 'trained' them on it. Job retention there was so poor that we had to keep 'training' them, and I never saw them actually fix reported problems. We fixed several of the worse ones. Eventually they closed our office, leaving it in the oh-so-incapable hands in India. In the 80's one of our vendors had contracted out some work to India, as a test. It did not go well. All that survived was a small emacs-inspired text editor that had an "i" in the name, standing for "Indian". Now that I think of it, the last surviving copy of that I had put into the product that was sent back to India. It's gone full circle! -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
