And who says the learning curve for an outsourcer is tremendous, trying to understand the IT processes and procedures of the client and so on? Why have you actually worked for an outsourcing service company to know it all? It is actually true that outsourcing could lower the cost. Why? There are services offered by an outsourcing service company which only cost lower than a thousand dollar but will cost them thousands and thousands of dollar when being paid in your area. So, who says it isn't true offshore outsourcing isn't cost saving? And do you think outsourcing service company would hire agents or workers who are idiot? It is a known fact that competitive ITs nowadays came from other countries even from third-world countries. Try to really dig in how outsourcing really works.
And by the way, for the one commented about his friends losing his job $125,000 IT job. Is it the company who should be blamed for how he leaves? He was only earning $125,000 and yet bought a house, a car and a boat more than what he is actually earning? Why not advice him to live within his keeps so when drought came he still have savings to keep him going.:) Without getting into the $125k guy's issues, I am very well versed in IT support, so I'm not talking off the top of my head here. The reality is outsourcing IT work for large corporations "can" work but usually doesn't? The reason is the non-standard infrastructure is outsourced along with the easy stuff. When the outsource company has trouble with the non-standard stuff, they raise prices and/or force the company into spending millions to standardize. In the end, the "total" cost is more. If the companies understood that the most complex systems and applications needed to stay in house, they would also realize that what they outsource, and the savings they realize for that portion, are not significant. Yet, they are constantly sold on a promise that can't be kept.

I went from Ford to Chrysler for a $3 an hour increase as an IT contractor in September 2007. I was there till early February. There were two rounds off IT layoffs while I was there, and 3 of 7 IT contract IT workers got layed off. I would have been one of the three if I weren't for the fact that another guy voluntered because he had another job offer almost certain and was doing a 60 minute commute from Ann Arbor. What a suprise I went to Ford Credit for a $2.50 increase. Chrysler is so unstable and a demoralized environment, who would want to work there.

I read that people buy "AMERICAN" cars such as CHRYSLER and claim them to be MADE IN AMERICA.(read the fine print...the car was not made in the usa. it was fabricated in the states, shipped to mexico or canada, assembled by non american workers, and shipped out to some moron in Idaho who thinks that since Chrysler is an American name, it's an American Product. My toyota was built in the south by AMERICAN WORKERS. American Workers. Not Mexicans, Not Asians, Not even our buddies to the North. This is a global economy. Accept it or not, facts are facts.
So, How american is you FORD, DODGE, CHEVY? About as American as Taco Bell is Mexican Food. What really gets me is all the magnetic 'ribbons' that you put on your car that says "Support our Troops was made in China--look at them closely. It is totally a global economy and many things you buy (cars for example) will have a foreign name on them with plants in this country. At least we are keeping our people working..sjt

Job always reaches the person who will provide perception to upper execs that OpEx is being minimized, with execs maximizing their bonus metrics returns. You are a fool. Obviously not born in America, and obviously struggling to justify your minimal value.

It is a crime what the large corporations get away with, but the statement regarding outsourcing to Canada is rather comical. There is no "outsourcing to Canada" going on. Believe it or not we are going through the same things that you are in the U.S. and our jobs are being outsourced to India as well.
