Third World country: *has power outage because of corrupt government*

Our outsourced devs: Hey sorry boss, we will not be able to work today because there was a power outage. We'll make it up for it during the weekend! We're saving up for a power generator so this doesn't happen again!

Manager: These lazy @#$@ (racial slur) are so lazy and stupid!

    Big boss needs to reminded that he probably couldnt even afford even one decent senior dev based in his area for the amount hat he pays for the whole outsourced team.

    @topsecret230 when we were hiring I tried pushing for the more expensive, experienced devs who lived in a slightly more developed and democratic country (I posted a rant about it), but management wanted to cut costs

    Shouldn't your company provide them with a power generator? Maybe you can suggest that to him.

    @happygimp0 power generator? Are you crazy? I bet the big boss uses free discord and free gitlab plan for his projects and is probably as cheap as he can get. I bet he doesnt even pay hourly but pays a fixed monthly rate.

    @topsecret230 I expect my company to provide my with a Computer, Digital Analyser, Oscilloscope, Soldering station, Workplace, 3D-Printer ....

    Providing them with a power generator AND the diesel it needs would be fair. I mean he can benefit from that too.

    @happygimp0 he can benefit but u need to have in mind that he hires remotely for a reason. Its to find cheap labour ideally 1 guy doing a workload of 2-3 guys to save as much money as he can.

    What u are talking about is normal remote fulltime employee based positions, Im talking about shitholes like this who exploit people on B2B contracts.
