The very short article had a link to a large BPO company as an 'in association with' at the side of the page. But the page didn't load well, so re-loaded. The same article had a link another large BPO company (competitor to the first), also as a 'in association with' at the side of the page. If working for a consultancy in a BPO role, it is very likely late 20s is the worst time of your life. Graduate, join a big name, and then pin-holed into a tiny-tiny role doing a repetitive job in an extremely hierarchical organisation where career progression is slow not for anyone, but everyone, as verticals in the organisation prevent diversification. To quote Adam Smith, often quoted regarding the brilliance of pin-production and need for specialisation, but having far greater insight into the consequences of such production methods, now done by ERP and email: > The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become. The torpor of his mind renders him not only incapable of relishing or bearing a part in any rational conversation, but of conceiving any generous, nobdle, or tender tentiment, and consequently of forming any just judgement concerning many even of the orginary duties of private life. > The rude state of husbandry which preceeds the improvement of manufactures, and the extention of foreign commerce. In such societies, the varied occupations of evey man oblige evey man to exert his capacity, and to invent expendients for removing difficulties which are continually occurring.
