FW: Re: Frequent Requests for Routine Mapping Help
Svg,
You may have no fear of outsourcing but I have personally seen the effects
of it on IT staffs and
the IT "people" it has affected. There is NO justification for putting
trained professionals out of work
in this country - other than Greed. I have seen whole IT departments
eliminated just because it
was cheaper to pay people, H1B status, from India that replaced them.
Should we all live in poverty, as people in other countries do, just to help
corporations boost up
their bottom line to their investors?
A good example I heard was that Levi's has moved it's last plant out of the
US to a country where
it's much cheaper to produce the $40 jeans. Well excuse me, but if the
jeans - made in the US
were $40-that's with costs built in and profit - why are they still $40 when
the costs have nose
dived due to their new location-outside the US? Oh, and of course lets not
forget companies
like Microsoft - do you think that their software will be any cheaper to buy
outsourcing the labor
- technical or otherwise? Is Microsoft so poor and destitute that they have
to outsource outside
the US in order to stay in business?
Svg, just because you have been fortunate - be thankful - because even with
all your training you
too can be replaced!

All,
Let me state the obvious again: Please do not take anything
I say here personal. I don't intend it to be that way. If I do,
they will be explicit.
Another request: Can we please 'cut out' older posts that
get attached at the bottom. I like scanning my daily digest
in the email. Thank you.
I do not feel threatened by outsourcing. That is a fact.
EDI was not my major in college...neither did I start
working on EDI after getting myself certified first in all
EDI products I have worked so far. I think it
applies to IT or any other field.
If we really want to go through all aspects of free trade,
global economy, demand and supply, outsourcing etc., we
can do that. I really do not know if this is the right
platform for that type of discussions or if the majority
of the subscribers wants that.
I used up my lunch break preparing the last post, here
goes my coffee break. If I do not see much objection to
such a discussion here, I will try to give my take on a
few points members have raised here. I may even have possible
justifications for the actions of so-called
mean+bad+dumb+cheat 'outsourcee' I will
be back online from home later.
If you have any comments, please go ahead. If you want to
ignore me, please do so. I am at peace with myself. LOL!!!
More later,
S Vengat
