Executives lie through their teeth every chance they get.

Build your own company and then you can hire who you like.

Nice non sequitur.

First, I'm not complaining just about who is being hired, but the fashion in which the transition is being packaged. If you are engaging in wage arbitrage, at least have the grace and honesty to admit it. And when the forteign workers produce cheap crap, or burn through millions of dollars because cultural differences do not allow them to admit that they don't know something, fire their ass the way you would fire a non-performer here in the states.

Most of those doing the offshoring did not BUILD those companies. Carly Fiorina of "no American has a right to a job" infamy, came over from Lucent where as CEO she destroyed tens of billions of shareholder value.(*) Remember the proxy fight with the original founding families of HP?

Have you read my first" or my second vanitires on offshoring / outsourcing?



(And before you jump to any conclusions, let me note that I am merely reversing the arguments of CEOs, to wit: "If the stock price goes up, I did it, and I take credit, regardless of the state of the stock market or the economy. If the stock price goes down, than that is SOLELY due to external factors beyond my ability to influence or control, and I should get a large bonus because finding top, key executives in these troubled times is harder than ever.")
