The Outsourcing Phenomenon (Score 1)

Being that it has been stated that IBM is a "poorly" managed company does the blunder of a decision to lay off 100,000+ experienced workers by year's end surprise you. First to show that I am an objective person, outsourcing is not a bad thing; it is a viable system of economics. If done strategically, it could possibly work. But if it is not conducted in a well thought out manner, there starts the demise of your company, which is the case 98% of the time. The simple thought of saving the company 20 million on labor is so wildly over-sighted. But the CEO does not think his 20 million dollar salary, unwise decisions, and highly-backstabbing tech atmosphere is the issue.
