I've never done a political post here, and apologize if it offends
the moderator. But since a number of our brothers have had their jobs
disappear in the recent past, I thought this might be of interest to
some. It's a website that tracks companies that are shipping jobs
overseas:

Dell is one of them. They employ hundreds of people over in INDIA to
handle tech support because it's cheaper than paying Americans. They
don't handle specific questions very well at all (they stick to the
manual) and you may have trouble understanding what the hell they are
saying. Several analists were saying it is good for business because
of increased profit margins, but when your customers are pulling
their hair out on the other end of the phone I don't consider that
good for business.
"Dude, I'm NOT getting a Dell".

A friend of mine, who is also an excellent Java programmer, recently started
his own company, and is developing a very innovative software program. He
designed it, but didn't want to write it. He found a couple of guys in
Belarus (Russia), who are excellent programmers, and work their tails off,
for $15.00 an hour. There production and skill is better than 90% of the
American programmers I have worked with, many getting $80.00 - $100.00 hr.
They grew up with nothing under communism, and $15.00 hr. is incredible to
them. So its not just the big boys going overseas.

I bet if he had looked hard enough he could have found AMERICANS to
do it for 15 an hour cash also....there is always an excuse or a
reason but as the sign said,,,the job you save may be your own!!
Its like the chinese factories,,,,sure they will sell a shoe or
widget made there for $1 but they are just waiting for the day when
all the american manufacturers are gone and that widget will be $50

Job outsourcing is an interesting issue. The problem is that we (USA)are in "ECONOMIC COMPETITION" with the rest of the world and we have been winning. Will we continue to win? Not unless we work harder and smarter. That's the rub. What is harder and smarter? I guess that depends upon to whom you are speaking too.
Outsourcing is not going away just because some politicion parades around giving it lip service during an election year. That is only a ploy to get the Union vote. The only ways to limit the effect of outsourcing is to;
1. Work smarter than those hungry folks outside the USA.
2. Fight with your money. Don't buy anything made by a company that outsources.
Now since we are talking to a group of folks (me included) who ride Jap Motorcycles, wear Italian riding boots, Korean riding cloths, and use Chinese tools ......... Need I go on.
Well maybe we need to look at smarter. Let's all go back to school and study 18-20 hours a day, live on little or know money and take any job we can get, work 12-14 hrs a day, with little or know benefits.
Well to heck with it, lets just forget it and go ride our jap motorcycle while wearing our Italian..............

Yeah, that's true(not that forcing our wages down to compete with people who are
basically slaves is good, our OWN unions and workers fought hard for all of the nice
working conditions we have, including weekends). The more of our own technology we
outsource, the more dependant we become on China, Taiwan, etc. and it is not completely
paranoid to imagine the rest of the world enacting embargos against the US if our
behaviour overseas continues to escalate as it does... Anyway, the more homegrown
product we deal with, the more powerful we can be as a nation. Except I don't think Harley
makes DS bikes anymore (do they still make Harleys here?)...

Your missing something. As his company grows, then he has to hire people
here to do sales, marketing, and support. So instead of burning up all his
start-up capitol on expensive programmers, and having nothing to show for
it, he will soon have a thriving company, that will employ many Americans.
Much better than a failed startup, that hires or contributes nothing to our
economy. Its called free enterprise, and it works well when you let it. Of
course, with all the socialistic brain washing in public schools, and the
left wing media, of course outsourcing looks bad.

Honestly, no he couldn't have. I work in the tech industry and face outsourcing daily, it sucks. The economy has created a mess that has to balance out though, and balance it will eventually. My skillset can be had at $50k now, thankfully I'm not looking for work as I'd not be able to afford a home for my family on that in this area. Entry level housing is $250k and you can't even get one at that price, you only start to find homes at $300k. Add to that commuting expenses that run about $10k/yr after taxes and try to figure out how you'd pay for a home, a family's food, utilities, and maybe one car on $50k/yr... you can't. Before outsourcing and H1-B labor flooding the market, my skillset was demanding $130k. That's a reduction of $80k in just four years in a market where housing has pretty much doubled in just a bit longer. The money saved...the executives and lawyers are taking home, it has nothing to do with necessity and everything to do with corporate greed. I don't defend the top most of the echelon in pay, but there needs to be a balance struck eventually. A balance with the local economy and general cost of living The whole 'shortage' was a myth to allow businesses to cheapen the labor force. But you'll never find highly skilled engineers in the US that have families and houses that will work for $15/hr. You might be able to live on that in some areas, but nowhere that there is a tech center for sure.> I bet if he had looked hard enough he could have found AMERICANS to > do it for 15 an hour cash also....there is always an excuse or a > reason but as the sign said,,,the job you save may be your own!!
This is also true and labor costs in India are rising as they, in the technical market, are now being undercut by Russia/Korea/China. The boom boosted the economy in India so much that in Bangalore, property values resemble some third-market areas of the US now. In turn, the employees are no longer working for $2/day and are making low thirties as programmers. Eventually a balance will be had, but getting there will be painful. -- ___ ______ _____ __ ________ ___ / _ |< < / == / ___/__ / /_ /_ __/ / __ ____ _ ___ /__ \ / __ |/ // / ****/ (_ / _ \/ __/ / / / _ \/ // / ' \/ _ \ /__/ /_/ |_/_//_/ == \___/\___/\__/ /_/ /_//_/\_,_/_/_/_/ .__/ (_) 8600 miles*Russel Lines*Supertrapp Race* /_/ http://www.kingsqueak.org/klr650/> Its like the chinese factories,,,,sure they will sell a shoe or > widget made there for $1 but they are just waiting for the day when > all the american manufacturers are gone and that widget will be $50

Hey, regarding buying Jap bikes, Italian boots, Chinese tools etc., these things, probably
excepting the tools, are all products of other countries companies right? Kawasaki is a
Japanese company who outsources to Taiwan, not an American company that outsources
to Japan, who outsources to Taiwan, who outsources to Malaysia, who outsources to...etc.
