I had to do the very same for my employer about eleven years ago, spending eight hours a day on the phone with about ten replacements in India. In order stay with the company I had to take another job at $7,500 less per year. After all of this time, most of those off-shored jobs are coming back, but the product/service line I worked way back then is phasing out. There’ll be no way for me to get back into that.
I’m about to hit my 20th year with the company in June, and I’ll be 55 years old at that time. It’ll put me at the age/year combination of 75, where I get a guaranteed pension.
Once I hit that, I’m pretty open to looking at other employment options. My 401K is going through the roof, so hanging around isn’t too painful.
I’m not going to name the employer.
Rotten thing to happen! Time should wound the heels that do this.
I can not stand being connected to India . I hang up and try again at a different time. There is just something in my head that makes it hard for me to understand what the heck they are saying.
