I feel like everywhere I work, we have this term, and it’s become increasingly more common over the past decade as the USA becomes more and more hateful and aggressive towards the working class people… The offshore team. I really, really hate hearing about the offshore team. It’s from a certain country in Asia that starts with I But I have nothing against those people that come from that country, it’s simply out of concern for my well-being and my survival that it bothers me…

You look at a country like Germany, and how they have a workers council, and a country like France that has proper retirement, then you see the USA and how We have millions of computer science grads who struggle to find work, can’t get a job, universities churning out new students in the tens of thousands per year… We shouldn’t have an offshore team, at a company that makes billions of dollars, led by people that have so much money amassed up that they could survive for a thousand years spending millions.

It’s just embarrassing, that as a society, we are so horrible to each other.

      Probably because the more work that gets sent there, the less work his office gets and therefore the less staff his office needs.

        The thought being: this job should be mine, not theirs?

          The thought being: I don’t want to be unemployed because Corporate moved my job offshore.

            There’s more options no? Work somewhere else, work at the same place but different function, start your own business, etc. Are y’all really so scared?

              Because just that one company has shifted to cheaper offshore work right? Surely the entire industry just about isn’t doing the exact same thing right?

              OH BUT THE ANSWER IS SOOOO SIMPLE! Just start your own business, everyone!! That’s all you need to do!!!
