Offshoring IT Work: This is a pathetic time in our Country. The Corporate Companies simply are ruining the country. What ever happened to the American pride that these companies boasted about a decade ago. Out the window. No, lets send our fellow Americans to the un-employment office and send our work to countries like India, China, Romainia, etc... where terroism runs rampid. The best thing that can happen to our country and fellow American IT Workers is that these Corporate Companies that "Off-Shore" suffer a Terroism Strike so HARD while they are in India, China, or any other Country, that it sinks their company into a sinking Abyss. Am I bitter ? Damn Right, and I'm still employed ! But seeing fellow Americans getting the axe to send their job over to some Sand Dweller pisses me OFF ! Everytime I call a help desk, I know have some damn Indian talking to me. I just hang up. Its Crap.; Posted by: unixscripter Posted on: 06/14/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
