I'm still waiting. If I were holding stock in a company that was rushing offshore, I would insist on an accounting of where the cost savings are going. They'd better be going into price cuts (to deliver more business) or research (to potentially deliver more business).

I've always given corporate executives the benefit of the doubt, but my confidence is definately wavering

Waiting for what? It seems to be your job as a stockholder to call the CEO's office to show the savings.

BTW, if the savings and productivity are shown, are you going to sell the stock "as a matter of principle"?

No, at a high level I would leverage the influence of my holdings along with like-minded fellow shareholders and affect the needed change in the boardroom. Shareholders are, after all, the owners of a publicly traded company.
