Anaheim, CA | Time to cancel service I cant support a company that does not support the American worker here at home. I realize there are many pro arguments for off shoring but not in my book. | |

The remaining US employees will lose their jobs to offshoring eventually.

| The great American economic paradox. We demand lower prices and will not support higher priced alternatives that provide higher levels of service. Outsourcing does it cheaper and works well for the first companies that use it. But when taken to its logical conclusion as more US jobs get out-soured there are fewer US customers to buy the products. You pass through a stage where those who have a job can buy stuff, and those who do not must be supported by those with a job. Eventually the US companies that outsourced no longer have any US customers, since they are all unemployed and the companies no longer can make any profit.

| Re: Time to cancel service Funny how the same people that support the companies that promote this, and loose their jobs because of it, still tend to vote for the very politicians that support this practice. People are just plain stupid and self-serving. America- home of the ME! | |

| The problem is everyone wants to pay next to nothing for the service. The only way a company can reduce cost is to outsource and eliminate jobs for Americans.
You get what you pay for; bad customer service and non American speaking phone support and Americans without jobs now.

| Re: Time to cancel service I disagree...you offer a good service at a decent price and you will build a loyal following. That loyal following gives you incremental income, and alot of it. If the companies expenses rise, adjust the cost to your customer in a level manner. I suprised that companies do this after years of bad outsource PR.

That loyal following gives you incremental income, and alot of it. What you say is true, but only for a small segment of the market. I do not see where service gets you a large following and I do not think your going to get "alot" of incremental income. For most Walmart items, service is not required, so the jobs move offshore. While for some service jobs, some customers will pay a premium for service, but I think the majority now believe they are "entitled to service" at the lowest possible cost which limits your market size.

| Re: Time to cancel service "Entitlement to service" comes when you sell "service". The Walmart mentality has gotten us...tech services that nobody can understand or are non-existent, inferior products with no warranties, and an excessive reliance on other industrialized (and in many cases non-industrialized) nations.
No offense, but if you start worrying about your market size before you worry about the quality of your product, you already gone!
