One day one of our sorting machines broke and our customer needed this part and lots of them (the ends of the parts were almost identical so either needed laser measured sorting or each to be manually inspected, an upside down one hitting their machinery was very bad for us). So we needed about 24 temps which was going to require two agencies. I swear to god one agency managed to send in about 12 Indians and the other 12 Pakistans (sp). They put them all at the same table, across from each other, I pointed out that this might not be the best idea (but what would I know). After about 30 minutes it became very apparent it was in fact a bad idea.
