OT Working from home
I hear a lot of those "working from home" want to make it their normal practice for the future.
However they have just proved that some Indian can work from home but for £3,000/year rather than £30,000/year. Plus the saving in not renting office space. I think they need to hurry back to work before someone notices this. This is the reason the gov. wants to install broadband everywhere. To export your job, not enable you to play video games. |

I'd have thought this was old news. The NHS is using this method for putting
patient records on the computer. Its supposed to be annonamised by only using code numbers but one worry is, if nobody English can read doctors writing what chance tdo the Indians have?

He emigrated to Israel, where wages are lower than the UK. he's a solicitor, and there is a steady stream of UK solicitors who emigrate to Israel with up-to-date UK legal skills. He hires them, and he has a thriving UK legal practice in Israel. Of course, that can be replicated in India, although AFAIK it hasn't been. One reason is that UK people emigrate to Israel for religious reasons, whereas there doesn't seem to be the same exflux of trained people to India. That may change. |

Well Brian, you'll find that from a population of 1 billion people
there will probably be a greater number that can do written English to a higher standard than half the population of this country, innit?

Employers can just as easily employ someone in a part of the UK were living costs, and therefore salaries, are lower as someone in London/ the South East. Or someone in the Far East for a tiny fraction of the cost. So, all those skivers refusing to return to work are actually contributing to their future unemployment. The Government wont even need to waste money on fast broadband, no one will be working from home or very few at least. They will be unemployed. |

The thousands of office workers too lazy to return to work because they can skive at home arent going to move to India or Israel. They will expect to be supported by the rest of us who are still working and paying taxes. |

harry laid this down on his screen :

However they have just proved that some Indian can work from home but for 3,000/year rather than 30,000/year. Plus the saving in not renting office space. Trouble with out sourcing such things to India is, that India leaks your seriously very personal data, as I found out with Talktalk. |
