Reply #41: Good. The quality of the work & the people is lower. The Price of loyalty.

[Deja Q]

(In response to this article.)

Who here has not had to deal with offshored support or billing departments? They go by the script and especially for customer 'care', the snotty attitude is really despicable.

And if anyone else has noticed the quality of goods, made in China, et al, being piss-poor... bingo.

Where's the QC department?

Where are the workers? Well, duh, they don't like the United States. Maybe that's why they only do as minimnal as possible and leave the rest of us to complain.

This offshoring WILL catch up to the US, either sooner or later. The economy may be laughingly called "globalized", but we're all still bound by those pretty lines drawn on a map. And the conservative elements of those countries have hisotorcally been apathetic or hateful toward the USA. Offshoring is therefore a highly illogical thing to do. For too many reasons to list, here and now.

And until 56 mil go bye-bye, I refuse to worry. It hasn't happened yet and I could be ran over by a drunk steamroller operator (who may be native born, legal immigrant, or hold a H1B for all I care) tomorrow.

Trouble is, get a good range of people and ask them questions. We need to know how loyal the American people will remain if these actions continue. Especially if our military is needed at some point. If you think coathangers for abortions is an outrage-worthy argument, wait for a draft to happen and take notes over what happens...
