Dear cweese,
"What types of jobs did he move out of the US for the 'hell of it'?"
I don't know if it was "for the hell of it," but during this time, ExxonMobil did outsource a lot of its information technology work, and off-shored it out of the United States. During the depths of the IT depression in the early '00s, I interviewed a fellow or two who had been dumped unceremoniously as a result of that move.

sitetest, I understand. The 'for the hell of it' comment was from ConTex, not me. I know several folks dumped in similar fashion from the energy business at that time.
