Nervous Breakdowns (caused by you asking staff to do work)

Law Suites for Stress at work (see above)

Law Suites for unfair dismissal (he never did any work just chatted on MSN)

On Site stabbings (jealous girlfriend stabs artist with his own scalpel)

Employees you cant fire (employment laws)

Bodies suspected to be hidden under the newly poured
concrete floor of your server room causing two weeks of disruption (the
employee was dumb enough to be caught on security cam putting
his wifes body in the boot of his car but would not say what he
had done with it)

At least with us freelances you can terminate without notice!
Auto T got rid of all there inhouse except for one lone manager/CGI programmer/page designer (me) then I left and they are 100% outsource now and remain my biggest customer.

I can tell from your post that you know I was giving actual facts from our dealing with the philipinos in the past.

They dont lie very well...my favorite was the company wanting to charge us extra for storage on a server of the work they were doing.
