Hi,
Say us Americans managed to survive, in America, for $4000 per year writing excellent code. Would it be legal for an Indian company to outsource that 4K/yr American? What about the legalities of an Indian company moving its entire IT department to take advantage of the $4000 programmers here in America?
An even more direct question: according to Indian law can Indian companies do with American knowledge workers what American companies are doing with Indian knowledge workers?
I was let go for "blabbing". I'm still looking for a job but I know I did the right thing.
Think of this: would you want your group/department/company to be eliminated because none of the problems were discussed? Then you'll be jobless knowing you did nothing to stop the ax from falling.
Of course saying anything like, "Bob doesn't do this or that, and I don't think we need Cindy" is a personal attack. Stay away from talking like that. Use the O'Reilly (the publisher) method: present the problem, offer a solution, then be ready to discuss. Have that ready to go, be kind and humble, and hope for the best. That's all you can do and still stay constructive.
Let's stop talking about shutting our mouths though, please. When companies want their employees to keep their mouths shut they'll hire people offshore (and we don't want to encourage that, do we?).
