That's what's happening to me right now... we're training some programmers from India and our Price Maintenance system is being out-sourced to India by the end of this year. I work for a major grocery retailer (It's Your Store) and it's maddening.

About 2 years ago we had some layoffs. Before the released the layoff list, they bullet proofed the windows of the CEO and repainted all the "Private Parking" areas for the big-wigs.

This is really bad news for high tech programmers.

Does 'my' store care if I pay in food stamps or cash? Does it matter?

Hey, just as soon as it's hip to be 'po, I'm signing up for services.

Darn, I just lost my job and to India on June 1st and SERIOUSLy thought about getting into the grocery biz somehow, I saw an e-commerce manager position at our local Albertsons and thought that may be cool...this position manages the web grocery ordering, etc....

I want to retrain in something other than IT...I guess I'll stick to helping my husband's band get famous. I'm doing a pretty good job so far, got him a meeting with a record label in September, he just got nominated for Best Male Vocalist of the year for the 2003 LA Music Awards, thanks to me talking him into submitting his music. God is listening to my prayers!! I've been quite depressed about loosing my 17 year job to India so the band thing is keeping things exciting for me thank goodness....

I asked someone on anther thread if they thought singers would get offshored to India...I hope not.
