Every parent has been unravelling that argument since the invention of bridges!<br /><br />I was recently in an open forum with a vendor and the topic of outsourcing was brought up. It rarely saves enough money to offset the devastation to morale and loss of experience. More often than not the work is second-rate but it's still cheaper to fix it than have an American do it right the first time.<br /><br />Actions like this are so much bigger than even a low level VP. <br /><br />Executives are temporary and they know it. They rarely stay with a company for more than a few years and move on to greener pastures; never having to deal with the coming destruction they caused. Of course this means they inherit a mess at the aforementioned greener pastures and use these methods to continue the downward spiral.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625481293071943018.post-69490793919897858962010-06-27T19:31:39.965-04:002010-06-27T19:31:39.965-04:00I vote for inflated ambitions of a low level VP tr...I vote for inflated ambitions of a low level VP trying to make herself look good at the expense of all the turtles whose backs she is standing on as they are slowly crushed to death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625481293071943018.post-49606800209946507042010-06-26T11:14:58.721-04:002010-06-26T11:14:58.721-04:00Root cause?

Is it the inflated ambitions of a low level VP that's trying to make a name for herself by moving 5 widgets from this column and putting it over there where they won't find it for a couple of years? Or is it a larger problem where the general cost of living in th US forces the average American worker to "need" a larger salary? Thus making it mathematical because offshore cost of living is so much less?<br /><br />I don't think that it's necessarily that American workers WOULDN'T do it for less if given the option. They just can't because the pittance we would have to pay to meet the offshore pay would probably be less than they can get on welfare (and welfare is a whole other discussion).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625481293071943018.post-82447977925277663712010-06-26T10:46:28.402-04:002010-06-26T10:46:28.402-04:00So much more needs to be said....So much more needs to be said....Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340591910111515069noreply@blogger.com
