I totally agree. I am a tech who could not find a tech job, so I work for a finance company outsourcing financial work to India. And it's the same thing. They want every possible exception or anything that can go wrong to be documented. They need this because they cannot come up with creative solutions to problems.
I think any company offshoring jobs will lose the intangible skills of their former American workers and the quality and innovation in their products will decrease. This will open the door for newer companies to come in and blow them out of the water. It's like NFL teams drafting guys like Terrell Owens or Randy Moss and ignoring guys with obvious intangible qualities who know how to succeed. Look who was Super Bowl MVP 2 years out of the last 3: Tom Brady, low round pick because of a little less armstrength, but he knows how to win. I think this applies to American engineers. Yeah, the pay is higher, but they innovate and create better because they are not in-the-box thinkers.
Also, these companies' execs need to stop with this "less cost, higher quality bullshit." Weren't they American college students at one point? And why don't they save money by offshoring executive jobs, eh?
Finally, we are the most dominant country in the world because we are free-thinkers and have open minds. Let's not lose that. What are kids in high school going to think? Will they want to go for that that M.S. in engineering so that they can get out of school and do some crappy data-entry job? C'mon now.
Either way, these companies offshoring tech jobs, accounting jobs, etc., are digging their own graves. Good riddance. Jeez, HP has already lost about $500 to ME in the last month because they offshored their tech support line. My barber got pissed with them BECAUSE HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM and now pays me to help him with his computer system and so doesn't anyone else with an HP computer who gets their haircut. Get my drift?
Let's quit bitching, get some start-ups going, invent some new shit and blow these gay offshoring companies out of the water!!
