Laid Off

Friends husband was just laid off from job he has had for 11 years.IT/Computer etc. Outsourcing entire department to Philippines! Oh the wonderful joys of Capitalism. Bosses get richer,long term SKILLED employees get the shaft and slaves do work for pennies in Philippines....or should I say indentured servants.He is filing for unemployment but that's not the point...its wrong and should be stopped.
I'd bet the average sixth grader in the Philippines would score higher on an ACT type test than the typical American 12th grader.

I'd bet the entry level worker in the Philippines knows to get to work on time.

Your friend needs to retool, he obviously can't even compete with "slaves".

Tell your friend to embrace globalism and diversity, and get on management track at a fast food place.

Get to work on time? Yes... They however will only do the min required AND they will not stay to finish any work not done. Terrible work ethic.

Because American workers these days are so famous for their company loyalty and willingness to go above and beyond?

In the healthcare industry? Yes. This distributor was part of the disaster relief for Katrina and several other disasters. Customer service , warehouse workers and plenty of others worked around the clock to get supplies out.

Some might not be... But thatwas not the case here.
 
shit like this belongs on the board?

whining republicans need to man up, and shut up.

Or the left need to realize that it's their own policies that is causing this rather than Capitalism.
It isn't just about lower pay.
It has most to do with other countries that has;
Easy Business set up
Simple Tax system
Less Regulations.
Punishing our Businesses does not help to keep them here in the USA.
What business regulations do you feel are the ones pushing businesses away? In my sophomoric opinion , it's the lower cost of labor thus the lower cost of production is what drives them overseas.
All of them. Are you even aware that regulations cost business over two trillion dollars a year? Ask the IT guy who just lost his job if he'd still have that job if the business environment promoted competition rather that stifling innovation and growth.
LOL, "all of them" is your best answer? What specific regulation (besides the bottom line and cheap labor) is the one that you think did the IT guy in?

Many workers worldwide are not happy at their jobs, and don't feel like they care cared for, why the hell would they be motivated, although this example is a nice thing.

We've seen capitalism with little to no regulations.. It is a fucking horrible idea.

Good thing they are replacing hard working and dedicated Americans with slackers then huh?

What do you mean? The heavily exploited workers in third world countries?

Well, that's certainly your opinion. Not really certain why we're supposed to be interested in the opinion of someone who clearly has never been part of running a business.
LOL, I guess that you didn't read my other post................:)

Reading your post and believing it are two different things. If you have to ask what business regulations push companies out of the country, you just told me you know fuck-all about running a business, regardless of whatever bullshit Internet "resume" you subsequently want to claim.

"LOL"
LOL, if you can't or refuse to answer the question, what does that say about you? What regulations are pushing Title Insurance companies and Abstractors out of this country? :)

In this case, it says I don't waste time answering rhetorical questions. People who say, "Why?" and then proceed to tell you what they've already decided the answer is have no interest in actually hearing what you have to say, so saying it would be a waste of time.

Thus, I focused on what actually needed addressing, which was your striking paucity of real-world information and experience.

If, in fact, you would actually like to know what I have to say on the subject, rather than simply looking for an opportunity to spout your own talking points, say so.
There was nothing "rhetorical" about my questions, I just wanted you to be specific.

I asked you questions , so of course I am "all ears". No need to be so defensive. Nice vocabulary though! :)

Exploited? America is giving them jobs. They don't have to accept them.

Yeah, giving them jobs that pay barely anything their labor is worth, and taking their resources/not allowing them to rise up with labor reform/etc

Apparently better then the jobs they had previously. The company is not hurting for workers.

How many people did China bring out of poverty with their turn towards capitalism?

You know did you ever think the head of this company just wanted to spread the wealth and wanted people in the Philippines to enjoy the same benefits as his employees in the U.S.

Let me get this straight, the fella hated to lose his job but the company is scum.

And Canada, it's got a conservative prime minister and a majority Conservative party.

Are there any off ramps,to this,parallel universe?

Bosses get richer,long term SKILLED employees get the shaft and slaves do work for pennies in Philippines....or should I say indentured servants.He is filing for unemployment but that's not the point...its wrong and should be stopped.


The USA has the highest corporate tax rate in the entire world. Was your friend a union member? Why is there no US tax penalty for sending jobs overseas?

How do you propose to stop outsourcing when its the only way some companies can survive?
No he was not union...unfortunately this happened in one of these fancy "right to work states" he has no rights.
shit like this belongs on the board?

whining republicans need to man up, and shut up.
I am not a republican neither is he.

Funny how everyone's so cool about capitalism until it bites them in their own ass.
I have NEVER enjoyed nor wanted capitalism...
Has he considered moving to the Philippines?
I suggested that but they said no lol...



You have never enjoyed capitalism? That's too bad. It seems the company and, apparently the Phillipines, enjoy capitalism. How about the fact that we are edging toward socialism, which is causing this unfortunate situation for your friend?
Oh god... Capitalism literally cannot sustain itself as time goes on, it's inevitable we progress towards socialism.


please list the successful socialist countries in the history of the world.
