They feel they were gouged by IT salary levels during the tech boom, and outsourcing IT now is just a way of getting their own back and disposing of people they never wanted to hire in the first place.

Yes, IT was "gouging". And CEOs of companies that were losing money with $Million+ salaries and multi-million-dollar bonuses WEREN'T gouging ?

Let's see, I've worked 20 years at my profession to get where I am (a security-and-firewalls man and a general network engineer as a side-specialty). These yahoos make VP at 35, and have yet to put in a productive day of work. . . .

That's different. They were just being competitive in the executive talent marketplace. LOL!
