No, My client and my employer had a contractual right to cut heads to meet demand and excercised it as needed. If the cost of my job was so out of line, my employer wouldn't have given me two raises in four years that I didn't ask for.
Furthermore, you're begging the question. The market forces driving companies away are outsourcing. You can't say that outsourcing is driving them away so you can't blame outsourcing - yet that's exactly what you're trying to argue. My pay rate wasn't a problem until slave labor rates came available to make slavery look attractive to my client. But that won't stop you from the standard attack of trying to make me feel bad for asking you to pay higher rates for something just to keep my job.. You're pathetic. And you disgust me. It doesn't damn my whole company to have my job back. Not unless outsourcing isn't done away with, and that's the point. Outsourcing is the cause of all of this. Were it not for outsourcing, my employer would not have had to outsource. But because of it, it was either outsource or lose the contract to someone who would.
The consumer didn't want to pay the going rate and found a way to force the issue, and that was by doing and end run around the system in a fashion crafted for them by government policy. I lost my job because I'm an American in America with and American cost of living. If I were in Mexico, I might have just gained one; because that was the criteria for getting my job on their end. Slave wages.
I can't understand this paragraph. I think you are trying to say that paying you a livable wage in the US doesn't hurt the company if outsourcing was made illegal. Is that correct? If this is true then the US government must make the same restrictions on foreign companies in order to do business here because it has to ensure a level playing field. Would you agree with that? I can understand your anger but please stop the insults, they don't help you or me.
