I am fucking pissed. My company is outsourcing work to India and last
week 4 people were laid off.

What the fuck?

Why is it that the only people who get laid off around here are the people who generate revenue with billable hours? How come none of our so-called "VPs" get laid off? Who are these fuckers going to manage if they keep laying off all of the people doing the work?

I just don't get it.

1. Good question. And the VP's salaries are undoubtedly higher. The company
could save more money by laying some of them off.

2. Exactly!
Every time I turn around someone is getting promoted to VP of some bullshit...can't lay them off, though.

I am so pissed off right now!

3. Well good luck to you
It's sounds like you're still working and hopefully will make through the next round of cuts. Or find something better.

4. eventually it will reach their level
when there's no workers left here, what are they needed for? So, are you keeping a skeleton crew to fix India fuckups? Tell them to get their blood pressure medicine.
