F'ing liars - I know many with doctorates in math that have been |
|
outsourced.
It's all about the money, not about the quality either. I end up doing checks on indias work only to find the results are inaccurate.
Oh and it's not India any longer - the new move is China... One guy is losing his job to Costa Rica.

They can't find enough Americans who will work as a serf to do their jobs. With imported labor the threat of deportation is always a control mechanism.
With outsourced labor the experience is nil and the quality is marginal at best. I have to hand hold Bangalore resources on the simplest of tasks - via a conferance call and a 9.5 hour time difference. No way is outsourcing more productive than home-shoring jobs.

Sounds like a case of our government not governing. The easiest way to end outsourcing would be to tax the hell out of it!!!! If the corporations want to be headquartered here and send the work elsewhere, they should pay for the privelege. Otherwise bring the work back here. But I forget, our governmetn is captive to these same corporations so this will never happen..........

13. Perfect example of why illegal immigration is a major issue |
|
If corporations are allowed to hire illegals at 2 bucks an hour and no benefits, why would they hire an American for $10 an hour with benefits?
Corporations stand to lose billions if the government cracks down hard on illegal immigrants.

14. The second part of that phrase seems to always be left implied, not stated |
|
as it sounds better. The real statement is:
U.S. corporations say they can't find enough American employees to fill the jobs... at the lower wages that the U.S. corporations want to pay.
