7. Whatever Rationalization Gets You Through The Day.

9. As someone who works in a global business, yes, we do need people overseas.

We *have* created new jobs overseas that would have otherwise been new jobs created here. But that probably counts for less than 10% of our overseas jobs.

The rest of our employees overseas are doing work we need done locally rather than work we need done globally.

12. Noted.

See above.

15. That's what the article seems to be stating.

It also mentions 120 job vacancies within the US, but that doesn't stop the reactionary yahoos (no pun intended) from jumping to conclusions.

2. I'd like to know exactly where these new hires would be placed.

Hopefully Sen. Durbin wants to know, too.

14. I too would like to know exactly where these new hires would be placed.

But that is just the tip of the iceberg, IMHO. Once you start recruiting outside the established engineering schools/liberal arts colleges in India you end up with the products of diploma mills that care nothing about the quality of "education" they offer.

Take the money and stamp the customer a diploma is the modus operandi. Now foreign universities are getting into the act and you'd be surprised at how eager even the Ivy League colleges are, to endorse these diploma mills. Yes, they jointly award degrees with minimal supervision of the process by which the students "graduate". No wonder Americans are sore about losing their jobs to the products of these fraudulent diploma mills.

I am writing from India and I've observed all this first hand...

3. Phuck those assholes.

Just a bunch of yahoos.

4. So Americans are too expensive, too stupid, what excuse will be made next?

If I were a cynic, should the US economy go under, shall we hope it takes the rest of the world down with it?!!!!! :wtf: indeed.

6. Yep, I guess the "rugged individualists" didn't take into account . . .

. . . that you kinda shouldn't ship jobs out of the country unless you are absolutely sure that there are long term industries to make up for the deluge of labor that's inevitably going to flood your job market.

Oh wait, silly me . . . no one does that stupid "long term" thing anymore. No profit in that.

Lifting one country's economy by destroying the other's. Idiocy.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. Then explain the 120 open positions within the US mentioned in the article.

[HughBeaumont]

5. So . . . "strategically important" now means "Lower Cost".

I see.

Stay Classy, Corporate America.

And keep on watching reality TV, America, instead of actually fighting back against non-caring arch-right wing corporations. 138 million of us could easily beat 40,000. EASILY.

10. Rec this post. n/t

17. Yahoo is cheap Wal-Mart like junk, now. (nt)

[Sultana]

19. I wasn't talking about who the hire just that they have a better product

11. Gross and Disgusting

Yahoo should be put infront of a bunch of unemployed Americans and they would receive their justice.

Just disgusting!!!
