We are a UK firm, and have actually outsourced a bit of our online marketing to a small outfit in Pakistan, although we still do some of it ourselves too. The Pakistanis charge us at the rate of GBP 2/hour. This contrasts with the GBP 30/hour and above we'd paid for similar work in the UK. The Pakistanis have done a marvelous job, our little business has grown, and we have subsequently hired one more chap on the sales side. People need to stop complaining, and make this reality work for them rather then against them.

I should have mentioned Madam Baum's reading of the imaginary minds of people who don't exist and who didn't write the "slew" of articles (recent or otherwise) "on the deleterious effect of productivity" that Ms. Baum didn't read -- and therefore couldn't specifically cite. When one's only argument is an imitation of an argument one has seen repeated elsewhere, without substantiation, it is extremely hard to produce the evidence for one's spurious assertions. Because, actually, they aren't Baum's assertions but only re-assertions, according to a boilerplate formula.Sandwichmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159060882083015637noreply@blogger.com
