1 edit | Shareholders Need Outsourcing
Personally, I'm in favor of outsourcing the help. AT&T can start with the entire executive board and their minions of middle mgt asshats. The company needs a Hindi CEO who will work for $250k/yr instead of the current Whitacre who comes in at $2.2M.
Further, I firmly believe all shareholders of every American corporation ought to implement CEO/executive board outsourcing immediately. Why continue to pay these lavish salaries when better, more educated help can be found in Bangladesh working for a fraction of the American CEO annual salary plus 24k gold-plated perks.

| Very well said!!! Maybe we could start a trend. Let's start with Chief of Staff.
Maybe then our country can begin to return to it's honorable roots.
(although I disagree with this statement:"...when better, more educated help can be found in Bangladesh working for a fraction of the American CEO annual salary..."
Since 1993 I can remember only two (2) 'outsourced' tech people that I've dealt with who had any knowledge of what they were talking about. (they are quite capable of reading from a scripted screen though)

| Hi. I'm a stupid liberal from Santa Monica. "Let's outsource the chief of staff". Oh wait, we're already trying by looking to model the US after failing European countries policy and cutting down our military. If you play politics with the war it's the troops that suffer regardless if you've got a "support our troops" bumper sticker (which I'd doubt anyway but...).
Anyway, I'm an IT guy and if they wanna outsource the less desirable overseas to spend money in other areas I say great. If the support sucks it'll come back here. If it works, they'll spend more $$ here on the upper tiers of support. If you can't cut it, move to an area with higher demands or better educate yourself. Just because you live in the US doesn't an employer should have to hire you. That said though, if we are sending US based company support to another country, obviously we need to make sure we tax these companies accordingly and give incentives to keep work here. The unemployment rates are about as low as they've ever been and if you think you should be entitled to a job that's almost impossible to get fired from, go work for the state or federal government where the other people that can't cut it in the competitive free world go. (I know there are some good guys there but having worked for both the state and fed govt when I was younger there was plenty of dead weight we couldn't fire cause they were a certain sex, race, status, or had the right friends running the show.) It's no different now. |
