Job-seekers have reacted with disappointment to the news that that the UK government is outsourcing all unemployment to India.
Once-widespread activities like applying for hundreds of jobs, getting rejected from hundreds of jobs, and crying into a pillow, will now be carried out by young professionals in bespoke ‘unemployment centres’ in Mumbai.
“While Britain has a proud history of unemployment, we simply must move with the times and accept the consequences of globalisation,” said a government spokesperson. “If people want to talk to an unemployed person, they can call a 24/7 hotline manned by highly-skilled Indian professionals with rigorous unemployment training, at a fraction of the cost to the taxpayer.”
