So, like any major company, we're outsourcing our positions wherever we can to India, because they are cheaper, and more willingly abused.

But if anyone's been paying attention, India is experiencing an IT boom there. This means that the market has turned from an employer's market to an employee's market. If you have the right level skillset, you can pretty much negotiate your way into a job with an American company.

This means, employees are staying with a company for about a year or two, gaining the experience they need, and leaving for a better paying job.

This week, my group of 17 technicians/scripters/coders will be missing 8 guys who put in their notices.





Essentially, I'm fucked.

Well, you know it's all drivin by wallstreet. We HAVE to make our numbers so our bosses screw our shit sideways without two cares in the world about how this affects productivity and our clients.

I venture to say we loose more money in lost time, training, and missed project deadlines (And we ALWAYS miss them now) because of offshoring than we ever got out of hiring those 17 folks.

One project delay by just a week can cost millions. And our projects are always delayed now.

If I have any execs asking me why everything is late, I swear to GAWD, I'll respond with "You tell me."

I might spit on it first.


Then again, I might not.

You won't need lubricant. I'm already wet.

You see, that's how I like it, eager and ready.

My old boss is moving there to work at Target India for a year.

I wish I could do that.

Why can't you?

HamsterHuey said:

Thanks a fucking lot Herman.


Now I have to go to the gym with this hardon.

HamsterHuey said:

It's not been offered.
I didn't even know it was possible.

But now I'm looking into it.

Imago said:

Please, change your avatar, I recognise peeps by their avvie and that text, with Carrie in my mind was just TOO much...

For the rest. Make me crazy. Let's shower together. You know I still crave you. Drop your soap for me, bunny.
