Sorry AM — I did apologize downthread and there has been animated discussion about outsourcing.
I stole not a single job. My company has invested in resources overseas at a rate of about 1/10 of onshore resources — for the same work. My job (these days) is to coordinate those resources.
We have to make a profit and that is all but impossible to use onshore developers. The Value Proposition for onshore folk is to manage and coordinate the work.
Admin Moderator?
That seems to me a ridiculous and inappropriate comment from an Admin Moderator.
Take the (understandable) emotion, pain, panic and fear out of the equation for just one fleeting moment, and one soon realizes that Freedumb is offering sage advice that will lead to, and protect, a better life for those currently unemployed.
Freedumb, so many people do not have your ability to read economic trends sufficiently in advance to see and act on opportunities that are emerging everywhere.
In my experience, good and honorable people who are not playing the system simply don’t know how to move forward - they are literally paralyzed by fear.
They plead for empathy, understanding, kind words and a loving touch, and completely misinterpret any other approach.
If it were my choice, I would suggest an Admin Moderator position would be opening shortly.
