Especially IT given the exorbitant rip-offs that most of the big firms are.I reckon the outsourcing trend will reverse once companies realise how much money they are wasting.

So far I have never seen IT affected as much as any other industry. Even if every company collapses and everyone looses their jobs there will still be a guy needed to look after the computers at centrelink. But I'm not saying IT is immune because nothing is.

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 7m 29d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 09/11/12 01:09 AM Share Posted 09/11/12 01:09 AM Ford US are crowing about how they've massively reduced costs by hiring a heap of minimum wage, untrained staff. They said that some of the new staff didn't even know what tools are required to fit a bolt, so they had to do heaps of workplace training...They must be punching out a quality product now!

Still bad but could have been worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
