I'm sure a few of the Indian new hires will be coming over here to get trained up.
So I would refuse to train them up if your supervisor asks. Why bother, you'll get no thanks for it

Irish jobs going to India ? The world is truly flat.

Don't delete it, just use one of the online converter to translate it into German, then French, etc. Then back to English.

If you have to hand over code edit all the comments to random either music, film or boards quotes.

I work in a call centre and we've just been told our jobs are moving to India. I'm so excited!

I've always wanted to visit India and with the salary they pay me I'll be able to live like a Maharaja over there. Well done Aviva, keep up the good work.

mikemac

Is that the same Aviva who produced the most expensive TV ad ever?

I bet you've seen it
Article Link here, I remember people complaining about this while outsourcing staff.
All for the profits I suppose

But how is it? If the company is moving out of Ireland lets say to India, do they have to definetly let u go or you are entitled to move together with company if you want?
Maybe the question is stupid or naive but I'm just curious to know.

I have had several accounts pack it in and move to bangelore over the last few years. My latest account is looking to go 'that extra mile' as is costing Dalian, China at the moment.

All of this has happned before, and it will happen again.

The good news is that one of the former accounts is moving back after being away for two years. Obviously, they feel that the customer service is worth the cost at this point.

Well if you work in I.T. then there's a serious time bomb you could plant.

Add an open source library to your product, one with a license which says that if you use it then your code has to be released as open source too.

After a few product releases, announce to the world ( pc magazines and competitors ) that their in violation of the open source agreement.

Or a simpler solution is to set yourself on fire in the middle of the office... that'll teach em !

If you can somehow manage to get your hands on about 40 midgets a blimp, 20 gallons of blue paint and an albino elephant let me know, I have a great idea.

Alternatively take a crap inside a photocopier.;)

Aodan83

Sexually harass everyone in your office. It probably won't teach anyone a lesson of any sort, but it could make for a few good stories!!

40 midgets and 20 gallons of blue paint ?
Sounds like some smurf related idea to me.

Nah seriously, I'm on the same team that's being made redundant and we're all fairly pissed off! Worst time to be looking for a job really!

Shards of asbestos in the coffee jar is always a riotous prank. Also, you could misplace your anger toward India and seek to agitate their ongoing conflict with Pakistan? You could ring the Pakistani ambassador, claiming to be the Indian ambassador, and call the Pakistanis dorks.

I think they do that everyday anyway, right after the ritual dance off.

Mouth?

ShooterSF

If you have to answer any calls (internally or externally) put on an indian accent. If questioned about it tell people you are acclimatising people to the accent.

Better if you make a "mistake" and do chief sitting bull impressions.

yeah thats acceptable i guess.

Subtlety change the documentation over the next few months. From simple steps gone, to absolutely stupid things to do. Watch with hilarity as the call centre monkeys there do each step.

My mate had his Indian counterparts deleting all the users data and profiles as the first troubleshooting step.

You'll need a friend, a retractable joke knife and fake blood for this one.

Start a argument with your friend, then take out the fake knife and stab him. One of you will then burst the fake blood capsule all over him.

Next start slowly advancing towards your boss.

Don't get mad and waste your time focussing on revenge against your curent employer. Get over it. Think solely about yourself now.

Spend every minute in there working on getting the next stage of your career happening. Do your CV, job applications etc. on company time. You will be getting paid to job search which to my mind is one of the the best jobs you can get. You are entitled to paid time off to attend interviews so use it. Get the best package you can from them.

If you get into malicious compliance, or worse, and get caught, you may get fired and lose any entitlement to a redundancy payment. Don't jeopardise getting a decent reference from them by burning your bridges. Times are tough enough without you getting blackballed every time you apply for a new job.

Here endeth the lesson.

When I worked in the UK there was a service where you could send a text message to a landline and it would come out as a voicemail (before SMS on landlines). It was a BT service which was routed through its Mumbai call centre.......the standard joke in work was to text someone a message at home along the lines of "you are a sexy beast and I want to f**k you so bad". And lots of other I can't even put on here. Now have that in an indian accent when you come home from the pub!

BT and BA have now come back from India and run their call centres from the UK.
And have you ever rung 11850 (I think that directory service) after midnight? You get someone in the philippines. Try to explain to him the chinese take away you are looking for on Clanbrassil Street!

Train them the wrong way,crash a few computers,delete "accidently" any important files,memos etc that you can.
Lose any documents,software manuals that you can.
Missfile or rename any files written or computer that you cannot remove.


A guy I know who was bullied by one of his bosses used to remove a page here and there from the boses desk from time to time and destroy it.He also used to mix up his files.Once or twice the boss got a bollocking,also got quite stressed when he could'nt find things he needed.Luckily for him he's since moved on.

Well this is how we're handling it at the moment:

1. Bring in your external hard-drive from home with all of your downloaded junk.
2. Install Gens
3. Install the Kaillera server
3. Locate your collection of Sega Megadrive/Genesis ROMs on said hard-drive.
4. Enjoy great multiplayer games over your work LAN!
