In the land of constant rain and never ending complaints, the jobs have petered out and found themselves pooling in the cheap labour force that is otherwise known as India. As a result, the UK companies which have been practising this act of bottom line fixation or are considering the move are paying with a lower and more paranoid customer base due to the movement.
The results of a survey conducted by consumer analysts, Performance House, show that where the jobs have moved by corporations and businesses so has a diversion been created in the flow of respect in terms of money and products purchased. A lot of the mistrust stems not only from the two-faced appeals of country based support for a company that doesn't support its own nation of unemployed, but to the fear of the security of the data and information being handled overseas without full disclosure from the companies running the "chained down to the desk" gaunlet that is gotten from the exchange rate and labour laws of India.
While the notion to outsource sections of operations to outside originated from the fear of an eroding yield, the move will ultimately eradicate any real chance of the decision paying off.
