I was outsourced twice by the same company
As long as we’re bragging, I was replaced by THREE H-1Bs...
Big hat? Big Balls? Reminds me of an old Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys tune!
Workin’ on the railroad
Sleepin’ on the ground
Eatin’ saltine crackers
Ten cents a pound
Big Ball’s in Cowtown
We’ll all go down
Big Ball’s in Cowtown
We’ll dance around
At my job in quality, I measure things and annoy people. However, measuring requires some skills. Not sure whether government employees have such skills!
I just want to tell them “Welcome to the real world. Yes, you might lose your job. Start working on your resume like the rest of us peasants.”
There are probably many thousands of federal employees who can only speak in word salad like Kamala Harris.
A five minute interview will expose them.
They were perfectly fine with higher taxes, government screwing up our medical system, forcing DEI on employers and employees, sending grandmothers to jail for protesting against abortion, etc. etc. They didn't care about us. I think the vast majority of them should have to look for work in the private sector they helped the government wage war against.
I hear you. I survived 3 rounds of corporate reduction, only to be laid off after 24.5 years on the job. They hired two young women to replace me, but both quit within the month, saying there was too much work. The work that I, the old overpaid geezer, did by myself. One of them told me to my face that I was overpaid.
At least the company gave me, as well, a big check to go away quietly.
last outsource was to Indian company- and I had to train them to get my severance
I wish they would interview my daughter. She comes home frustrated every night because of the lazy people in her department.
” My sympathy for these useless bureaucrats is solidly pegged at zero. Learn to code”

Then you can enjoy being replaced by illegal aliens
“I HAVE PEOPLE SKILLS!!”
As long as we’re bragging, I was replaced by THREE H-1Bs...

Who probably couldn’t do half of what you did, but boy were they cheap
Welcome to meritocracy.
” measure things and annoy people” LOL. People must enjoy you like they do the dentist!
One Chinese, one Vietnamese, one Indian.
Three for the price of one.
I’d drop by occasionally.
The Indian seemed OK and fairly squared away.
The Vietnamese would run and hide, I think he thought I was going to run amok.
The Chinese guy lasted until the first phone bill came in. The idiot was viewing Japanese porn, by dial-up, to Japan!
Ya get what you pay for!
It's also astounding nobody in govt has ever been audited, apparently. No wonder America is at the brink.
bttt
