Don't worry, some idiot will come along soon and post that "it's good for the consumer"....."we had to move our jobs overseas to stay competitive" or other such crap. Here, this was written by another poster, just for you:
It's dog eat dog, has been, will be, forever...no matter how much we or our bosses wish it weren't. Just have to deal with it.

I was very lucky. I am self employed with 110% job security. I was reading my tea leaves long ago, regarding this BS globalization agenda. I still am blue collar, charge $60.00 per hour for my services and thank my lucky stars every day I made the decisions I did about 12 years ago. I get pissed when I see how local companies (UTC) and others pulled the rug out from under the feet of my friends over the last dozen years.
It just seems like all the white collar guys / gals want a shoulder to cry on. They all thought this relocation of jobs would never happen to them. Where were these white collar people when their fellow blue collar worker bees (sometimes working in the same plants) jobs were shipped overseas.
How does it feel? Pretty sh!tty I would imagine.
Just remember:
1. "it's better for the consumer"
2. "we have to look out for the bottom line."
3. "if we don't ship our jobs overseas, we can't remain competitive."
