Why Outsource When Workers are Willing to Telecommute?
An anonymous reader asks: "Corporations and management resisted telecommuting for years, now jobs flow to distant nations. Did telecommuting become acceptable because of the greater distance? Because some form of on-site management persists? Because labor laws are favorable? Because a well paid middle class is a political threat? Is it really as simple as money? I'll work cheaper if I can choose where I live and work. Must I leave my country to do so?"
FIRST POST!
Because PHB's love to smell the rancid odor emanating from the cubes of the H1B Indians. And guess what, the Russians stink even WORSE!!!
So what happens is, you call your ISP's tech support line, which is out-sourced to India, and some guy named Abignazarath answers. Little do you know the only English that Abignazarath can speak is "Hello" and "What is your problem, sir?"... -"My problem is that you don't understand a word I'm saying". "Yes sir, what is your problem, sir?".... *sigh*
I don't understand how the first fucking post can be redundant. Howz dat for moderator stupidity.
This post is a troll. And all you idiots repsonding to it, YHBT. YHL. HAND. Especially you, Cliff, you dumbass.
or because multiple posts said near the same thing, and different people liked different versions better, and modded the rest redundant. I'm waiting for the first real AI to be used as a universal moderator here to remove human frailty from that position...
Because a well paid middle class is a political threat?
Ah! It's a vast rich-wing conspiracy! Silly me not to see the class warfare in all of this.
Good grief...

Have a good day?! Impossible! I'm at work!
...you're willing to work out of your house and pay all the overhead, you're still not a nigger willing to put up with slave wages.
The opening was only for slave wage niggers, sorry.
The problem is, withj companies like EMC and Sun (and probably many others), foreigners have worked their way into SENIOR MANAGEMENT.
It's racism, favoritism, and a takeover from within.
Stockholders don't care because their livlihood is tied to short-term stock trends: they pay no penalty when their company harms the overall worker economy. Unemployment could quite literally be 99% and if your job is in trading stocks... so what?
Of course, in other countries these assholes would get their asses kicked by the public... but we're already a Corporaticracy and you'll be even worse off resisting. Besides, the news says we're not in a recession, and everyone has confidence in the republic. It's highly unlikely that corporations are cooking the news...
