Please, tell me why outsourcing is a good thing.
Quote from: The Geologist on August 06, 2007, 02:14:08 amPlease, tell me why outsourcing is a good thing.People in other countries deserve good jobs too, especially if they are willing to work for less. So what if we lazy Americans need to adapt? We can handle working at unique jobs that can not be easily replaced. The healthcare industry is a great example of an industry that will never be outsourced.

A company can't just abandon their existing workers.

Who cares what they are called, until you or a parent losses a job from this ****, don't say anything.Why do you think its okay for someone to loose their job? "Oh hey, we are outsourcing, so your all fired so we can save money, I hope you don't end up on the streets!"
One of my best friends is Indian. In India the competition to get to the top is fierce. He's human and deserves a job just as much as any of us, especially if he's better trained and getting paid less to do it.I certainly agree companies can hire more highly trained individuals to work for them, but as long as the company is American they should have to follow American minimum wage laws.

"Oh hey, we are outsourcing, so your all fired so we can save money, I hope you don't end up on the streets!"Let me rephrase: I think it's outsourcing is OK because people who lose their jobs to outsourcing get unemployment benefits. Any American can live without a job. Sure, it's not the high life, but it will get you by until you can learn to adapt. Take this from somebody who's mother was on welfare.
Imagine this:Yourself (and others) in a given company have been working in this company for lets say...10 years. You've established yourself, working up the ranks, etc. All of a sudden, your job disappears, you and your friends get the boot because those positions have been "outsourced" to another country. Meanwhile, you and others are left with all of jack squat.Bull****Outsourcing is nothing more than another outlet for companies to make more by using cheap labor while 1) being less acccountable for the outcomes and 2) taking advantage of conditions which do not apply within the United States (i.e. the law, whatever that is).In the end, all you do is take jobs away from the people in the country you live in and give them to people in another country. What sense does that make? I'm all about helping out people in other nations, but not at the expense of the workers who toil away for a company based in their own home country. Please, tell me why outsourcing is a good thing.

Are companies responsible for giving jobs to people that want them or to people that will create the biggest profit ?
None of you have any right to tell someone else what is right or wrong. Leave it to the people making the decisions them selfs.
