Managers pushing offshoring should be forced to read The Mythical Man-Month, and to think about the fact that the communications paths that are the basis of that book are operating at about 30% efficiency when the two nodes are separated by 10 time zones and a culture and language difficulties.

from the article:
[You see, "offshoring" is another word for age discrimination.]

The Mythical Man-Month predates the employees still working. They probably never heard of it.

The last I heard, the class action suit against Sun for age discrimination failed, although it seemed like a straight-forward case.
