Re: Another offshoring victim...

No offense but this is not the only company that is offshoring support. Haliburton, VP's company was on similar route after winning the no-bid taxpayer paid contracts to dubai. Earthlink is in similar boat. Qwest is even worst. In certain you even get tax breaks for outsourcing. So why not. I am not mad at Indians or chinese when our monarch George and his cronies decide to sell us out to the vested interests of big companies. I will vent my anger at the next election
And when will it stop? What's the future for American workers? Everybody working Fast Food saying "Would you like to mega-size your fries with this order?"

Just how would the USA be able to afford Social Security, the Military, and a good standard of living? Answer: It won't be able to. [Collapse]

Even if they hire 10 indians to do the job of a single US tech worker. It is still cheaper. This company is atleast decent to offer them severance. Some of the bigger companies have offered nothing besides the pink slip. Maybe king George and his cronies should give more tax breaks to companies that outsource as King George said "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

YEAH ANOTHER TIME WARNER COMPANY. Local company turns to Outsourced tech support to Canada. Except with Time Warner when they say the will help relocate you to ANY of there places they mean just the areas that are totally messed up and have no organizational skills to do the job right so everyone in the company hates it and will not want to work there after a year. I only speak from the people who have moved on and are hating it. Only ones i find liking there jobs are the select FEW that got one or 2 jobs in call centers they wanted.

I won't be looking at this company for an option then. I had considered it as a maybe since it seemed like they were in my immediate area. But with it going overseas, I don't want the aggravation of trying to understand them.
