HP for one
I worked within HP as a consultant/contractor for 6+ years. I watched the IPG IT support group go from a thriving, well managed support group to absolutely nothing with all support outsourced to India/China.

People could not get their jobs done for waiting for support and the number of items dropped was astounding.

Then the infamous move from 19,000 IT to 10,000 IT. They were cutting programs/applications/servers wholesale. Again, people could not do their jobs and there were no replacement programs to take the cut apps place.

Underplanned, underfunded and understaffed. That is the IT vision of the future. As others have said, like it or not, that's what is going to happen.

Those companies that value service above all will make it work because SERVICE and the CUSTOMER matter. Those that are like HP that value a bottom line only will watch as talent leaves for "warmer climes".

Good luck -- one and all -- we need it.
