KIM DU TOIT weighs in on the outsourcing issue:

My father was a civil engineer who had started off life as a boilermaker, and he always cautioned me to find a job which used your brain rather than your hands.

In retrospect, it was the worst possible advice he could have given.

There’s also this: “You don’t owe your company anything: not loyalty, not fealty, not anything. And you were not the one who broke this compact: they did it.”
