Re: Moves like this are a sign of capitalism-
Really? Who watches my kid while I'm in India? Is that even practical?
You people seem to think that being a migrant worker is a good thing. I don't understand your point of view at all. If this keeps up I see no reason for "workers" to even purchase a home. What would that do to the economy and the wealth balance in this country? Back to the land owners vs. the peasants.
I listen to right wing talk radio and they tell me I should retrain myself for a new job. That's funny, because the same talk show will tell me I need to spend more time with my children because the fabric of society in America is deteriorating. Which should I do?
We're all about two steps away from migrant workers. I laugh at people who think they are above being outsourced. Last year someone else said the same thing...now they are outsourced. I would think working in a hospital ER would be a secure job but its not. Now your X-rays get sent overseas where someone in India makes a life or death decision about your health. Scary eh?
Here's an old poem for you to ponder:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.
Your job is next. Don't be fooled.
This is the reason why: corporate greed. AT&T/SBC/Bellsouth/Pacbell hasn't lost a dime in over 50 years. Hell, they make BILLIONS a year in PROFIT. If they were losing money I would understand why they need to trim some fat but they're not, not even close.
Another thing is that AT&T lobbied the State of Missouri for video legislation that would benefit them and now they want to cut 400+ jobs from Missouri. This is where the majority of "ASI" is located. This isn't the first time AT&T/SBC promised big things to a state and then screwed them later and will probably not be the last.
Do you know ASI has 1 manager for every 12 employees and nearly all 400 employees sit on the same floor in the same building? Most office managers have twice that many employees to mismanage..err, manage. Talk about trimming some fat...

How about being responsible. If you do not have the ability to balance work and children....DON'T HAVE CHILDREN!

| So tell me; When do I have time to go to school, work, and PROPERLY raise my children? I've already been to college and got the degree that was so desperately sought after at the time but now, 10 years later, it is worthless. WTF did I do wrong? I followed all the rules. I need another degree but now I have a mortgage, kids, a wife, and I still need to work. When was I not responsible? I'm not saying it's impossible but is it ideal? Hell no.
I guess if I had nothing I would have nothing to lose. Ahhhh, that's it! Corporate America doesn't want me to have anything. I get it now. Thanks.
Soon I'll be able to go to work for Walmart buy all my goods from Walmart, and live in a house that Walmart so graciously provides for me. That way all my salary goes back to my employer. Sounds like days of kings and peasants. And yes I am comparing AT&T to Walmart.
There's a reason unions were formed. People who don't know history (or too cocky to acknowledge it) are doomed to repeat it. |
