Well, the article is in good taste and I agree with you that if an employee adds value, he will not be laid off or his work will not be outsourced. I work in Bangalore, India, mostly on outsourced projects. 🙂 So, the title - 'Prevent Outsourcing' made my eyes pop out. :w00t: I have had a few interesting discussions with some people from US and UK about the topic. Well, I think as corporates look to cut costs and maximize profits, outsourcing is inevitable. I don't know how much they eventually gain from it because I have seen companies having to cancel contracts, find new vendors and stuff. All these reduce their margins. To add to that, a lot of people working in the so-called consulting companies in developing countries (I mean only India and Sri Lanka as I don't know about the rest) don't really have sufficient expertise. This makes conveying requirements to them and getting the desired result a very time consuming process. But, there are a few good folks down here. 🙂 It will be nice to hear your experiences, fellow members.
