#outsourcing

1 post1 participant1 post today

I've had a bunch of meetings with a subcontractor in my current position. They're located somewhere else, and are sporting a somewhat charming but thick #accent. To help me out a bit, I've enabled Teams' live captioning. Either that feature is completely useless, or one of the team members is planning some sort of coup:

#Lieferando testet #Outsourcing in #Berlin und lagert in Spandau die Kurierfahrten an ein Subunternehmen aus - Druck auf Festanstellung und Arbeitsbedingungen schon im Testbetrieb

LabourNet Germany · Bessere Arbeitsbedingungen für Lieferando-Rider - und Betriebsratswahlen! » LabourNet GermanyDossier "Trotz Corona-Krise zwingt Lieferando derzeit tausende von Fahrer*innen zu arbeiten. Die Rider arbeiten 7 Tage die Woche von Mittag bis spätabends ohne Desinfektionsmittel, ohne Schutzkleidung, ohne Schulungen, ohne menschenwürdigen Lohn. Die Ausrüstung kann wegen fehlender Hygienemittel nicht gereinigt werden. Die E-Bikes, die sie gewohnt sind, dürfen sie nicht mehr nutzen. Stattdessen sollen sie ihre privaten Fahrräder nutzen. Die Verträge sind befristet. Gewerkschafter*innen wird der Zutritt in die Betriebe verweigert. Menschen, die gegen prekäre Bedingungen kämpfen, müssen befürchten, dass ihre Verträge nicht verlängert werden. Als wäre das alles nicht schlimm genug, arbeiten sie aktiv daran Betriebsratswahlen zu sabotieren. (...) Wir fordern mit dieser Petition von Lieferando: Beschafft Desinfektionsmittel für alle Rider während der Corona-Pandemie. (...) Stoppt eure perfiden Versuche, Betriebsratswahlen zu behindern. Die Rider riskieren ihre Gesundheit für euren Profit...." Petition von Orry Mittenmayer an Lieferando bei change.org - siehe weitere Infos.

@theregister I can't follow. The risks did not change that much with #Trump. 🤔

Dependency to the #cloud was a bad move in many cases already before. It wasn't about risks, it was about prioritizing money as long as #outsourcing was cheaper. Now, companies often aren't in a position to self-host any more because we've lost #knowhow or resources.

You can blame many things on Trump but not this.

Berkshire paid $26.8 billion in US Taxes in 2024. (~5% of total Corp taxes).

- We should tax corporate revenue and rebate US Wages. Highly profitable companies in the US are not paying taxes.

This will tax AI, Investments, Outsourcing, etc., more than labor.

We should incentivize payments to US labor and US wages over outsourcing, AI, and investment activity.

@Alpha1Nine
Its a perennial thing with the #LNP when in govt. sack public servants and outsource their work to contracts Its #StateTheft pure and simple. The LNP lets mates pick up the work for profit and as a result services suffer. The only benefit the govt gets from this #outsourcing is in ‘head counts’, a leaner public service which costs less in terms of super and benefits. But what the govt saves it uses to pay contracted staff. Shifting public money to the private sector. That’s the LNP through and through.
