For everyone..My native language is English (Uk). I am born in India, From age of 1, I am learning basics through English (UK). It has been more than 30 years that I am communicating through this language. My official language too is English (UK).
Now I pose a question for those who are creating new thread and trying to point out that its issue of native language.
How one defines native language?
As per me, its not the place of birth which decides it, but its our educational, learning system and cultural background which defines it. Accordingly, I am native speaker of English (UK)...
So please try to focus on what is asked......
My issue is that if outsourcer does not know how to speak with client but pays at end..is this justified to continue working with him? Does one work for money only?
I agree with you that it's not the place of birth that defines one's native language. It is also entirely possible that UK English indeed is your native language. However, your post illustrates nicely that while being native in the target language may be a necessary condition, it certainly is not a sufficient one.
In my opinion, you can't separate behaviour and language in the strict way you're suggesting. It is fairly likely that part of what you perceive as inappropriate behaviour by the outsourcer can be traced back to lack of language proficiency and/or communication skills on your side.
Please mind that I'm not trying to criticise your language skills. I'm just trying to point out that the situation might have to be seen in a different light.
Bottom line: Alexandre's advice is good: Drop all outsourcers whose behaviour you don't agree with.
