The IT workers at Cengage Learning in the company's Mason, Ohio offices learned of their fates game-show style. First, they were told to gather in a large conference room. There were vague remarks from an IT executive about a "transition." Slides were shown that listed employee names, directing them to one of three rooms where they would be told specifically what was happening to them. Some employees were cold with worry.
The biggest group, those getting pink slips, were told to remain in the large conference room. Workers directed to go through what we'll call Door No. 2, were offered employment with IT offshore outsourcing firm Cognizant. That was the smallest group. And those sent through Door No. 3 remained employed in Cengage's IT department. This happened in mid-October.
"I was so furious," said one of the IT workers over what happened. It seemed "surreal," said another. There was disbelief, but little surprise. Cengage, a major producer of educational content and services, had outsourced accounting services earlier in the year. The IT workers rightly believed they were next.
The employees were warned that speaking to the news media meant loss of severance. Despite their fears, they want their story told. They want people to know what's happening to IT jobs in the heartland. They don't want the offshoring of their livelihoods to pass in silence.

Apparently, it has been going on for quite awhile. Breitbart did a broadcast regarding this somewhere around Oct. 21 or 22. I was shocked at what has been happening. They had a female lawyer and one of her clients on. Very slimy! There is no or little shortage of American STM employees. They just want to replace them with foreigners. Their main point in the interview was the more scary idea of knowledge transfer to foreign countries through this approach. I think there was a print article on breitbart.com regarding this as well. It would be worth your time to read it.

Thanks! Boy the jokes just write themselves for that one. Makes you reevaluate just how great America is becoming doesn’t it! Unbelievable stupidity.
Wrong My job just got offshored and I am a customer facing PM for data center moves/consolidations and storage installations. For years I thought I was safe.. not so much.
Bring back the skilled trades like plumbing, electrical work, mechanical repair, engine repair. That can’t be outsourced overseas.
And deporting 20 million immigrants “here to work” frees up that many jobs for natives.
