Indian outsourcing fail as ATO brought to its knees

The outsourcing of Australian IT jobs to indian nationals failed badly today with key systems offline directly attributed to ATO's failed agile implementation and the outsourcing of many positions to Indian nationals. While ATO management have attempted to shift blame to "those who did not get onboard" the evidence of this failure is clear: outsourcing key functionality of the ATO is a failure. The attempted shift to agile is partly to blame with the implementation of agile using the SAFe methodology being proven to be an abject faikule. Most of the problems are centered with the employees sourced from India hired into key positions.

But I am too busy laughing at ATO systems being down.

Before you do, check the status and ethnic makeup of the ATO. High percentage of contractors. High percentage of persons from India. Indian managers hiring Indians from mainland India. These are facts. Walk around ATO offices to see this happening.

Racism? Is it racist to point out that the ATOis hiring a disproportionate number of staff from India? If so, is this bad?

Next topic: failure to hire people with the appropriate skills and knowledge.

Paul Shetlersaidthe history of the federal government digital failure underlines the need for the public service to train its own workers and end its reliance on expensive and wasteful private sector outsourcing.

OMG! An admission that outsourcing permanent jobs to Indians was a bad idea? Never!

The DTO is also down the drain. Agile is a failure.
