Jargon

I am sitting with whole bunch of IT expertises in the office. It was rather funny when talking to them.

Admin girl : Ah XX, who take care of your children when you and your wife are working?
Ah XX : I out-tasked this job to someone!
Me : How much it cost for out-tasking such job?

Ah XX : It depends! Have to evaluate the SLA (Service Level Agreement). It ranged from RM600 – RM1000 (over). Location, age of your children could be one of the factors to consider when out-tasking such job.
It is not easy and not cheap to have children. ROI is not certain and possibly be zero in the future. This does not consider an investment too. Investment comes with the concept of high risk high return. By having children, it could be high risk with zero return.
This kind of deal, normally will not pass SOAR (SOAR is our internal approval process for large deals. All the big bosses will have round table discussion and evaluate the risk (and other factor) of the deal and go for approval)…….

The other colleague said…… 中毒!

Should be "outsource" instead of "out-task"...
