Not necessarily. In the UK one way of outsourcing is to tell the whole IT department that they now work for another company (e.g. Cap Gemini). UK law has a thing called TUPE so the terms of employment legally can't change for a period of time.
After that though you find that most of the employees get retained. They often do the same job working for the company that they just left, just from a different office. Over time their employment contract starts to normalise to the standard terms of their new employer.
It allows a very gradual transition, nobody is forced to leave (unless they do the things that'll get you removed from any position) and the original company gets all the benefits of outsourcing (i.e. no control over their IT systems, terrible requirements management, horrific enterprise debt and sizeable long term costs). The employees get to continue working, but with the health of the IT industry they can choose to move on too.
Three decades of bad tech economy? Are you shitting me? Have you seen how many millionaires have made their cash from IT? Let alone the millions of gainfully employed people in the industry earning substantially over average wages?
As I see they are a travel agency not developers so probably there are only sysadmins there
So they don't use financial systems to track forecasts, budgets, cash and to prepare the financial reports? They don't have a payroll system? They don't use HR systems to recruit, train and support managing employees? They don't have any systems for things like legal, facilities, compliance or an intranet?
Of course, being a travel company they wouldn't have a website, a booking system or any complex logistics systems tracking the myriad of consumables, maintenance and fuel used by their ships.
And when someone in our Colorado office quits and we decide to hire his replacement in South Africa because Johannesburg has a good pool of skilled people available at half the cost, that justifies a 35% tariff?
Better to not open the Colorado office in the first place.
Outsourcing rarely saves money. The headline figures look great, so some cunt gets a nice bonus for signing the deal, but over time the costs don't work out at all.
The big outsourcing deals of the 80s and 90s all ended up reverting back in-house. These days many global companies just open offices in lower cost locations - Asia, South America, even Eastern Europe.
The cruise company are not using H1B workers, so those aspects of the law do not apply to them.
Cap Gemini clearly recognise that skilled workers are available in the US, as they're offering them a job for a minimum of six months. So at this stage it doesn't look like they're falling foul of the H1B worker laws either.
H1B abuse is a bad thing but you really do need to better identify when it's actually happening. Not all outsourcing counts.
So I'm taking away from the many Americans I keep employed and earning a good income when I come over for a week to work with them? That's not tourism and I'm not aware of possessing any specific neurosurgical capabilities.
Good to know. But then, we already knew there are many stupid fuckwits in America, we'll just make sure you're on that list.
This is one reason I don't use Chrome. When I want a new tab, I also know why I want it. I don't need some shitty attempt to second-guess me and offer me a visual range of options that's far slower to use than just starting to type in the address bar.
I open cricinfo in a tab, and use that tab's title to track the cricket score. The tab title updates because the web page is contacting the server and pulling down information continually to keep the score updated.
On another tab I'm in an interactive chat session with someone. I can't reload content as it's dynamic; you want me to stop receiving chat messages because I switched to another tab?
A different tab is racking up a new high score for me on Cookie Clicker. Trust me, I'm not going to fucking sit there clicking that game full time.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for ANY of those tabs, except the one that is current, to be using ANY CPU at all
I think I've demonstrated how unfortunately wrong you are.
In the UK you can smell a snickers bar from several metres away and whether that causes an allergic response or not, I can easily imagine that to someone with a life threatening allergy getting psychosomatic symptoms as an instant response.
All the grief about cyclists dying in London, and especially to HGVs, and it's almost always cunts like you that are cycling dangerously and getting yourselves into trouble.
Mad at you for being sensible, obeying traffic laws and making it clear and obvious that you're there? No.
Mad at you for blaming me when you get knocked off your bike because you rode right up my blind spot on the inside and I had no way to tell you were there before executing my perfectly legal, expected and reasonable manoeuvre? Yes, you've damaged my fucking car you inconsiderate shitstain.
A simple "Yes" doesn't preclude also linking to relevant evidence.
If nothing else I suspect there are sites out there proclaiming that those photographs are fake or from a different event. Some of the photographs may even be impossible to source; the gulags and the concentration camps have much in common after all.
So start with the basics, using words even idiots can comprehend, then back that up with the evidence, the first person accounts, the video footage, etc.
the social role of "gender police" - that is, reminding women what their place should be, and hurting them if they do not comply.
Since leaving school, I've been assaulted multiple times by women, just once by a man. I've been sexually assaulted by a woman, never a man. I've been bullied by both sexes. I've been falsely accused of sexual assault by a woman, never by a man.
Just who the fuck are the gender police because they don't seem to be having any fucking effect here.

Three decades of continual growth tech economy.
Which offence is that? Why is the replacement labour illegal?
You're making some interesting assumptions here. Are you saying that Cap Gemini are breaking the law? Might want to lawyer up.

It'll be interesting to see if he tries that on. Although, it worked for Clinton..
Lies! Big chunks of me are parasites and bacteria.
erm. Yes, it is.
Tha faceless behemoth doesn't make that decision, Mary's managers that know her do.
Her chances are better at a larger organisation; they can more easily afford to carry her for a while.
My cats often throw things. It's their way of trying to get inanimate objects to play with them.
I'm not sure this signifies investment excellence but I'll run some tests next time I'm considering options.

I think I've demonstrated how unfortunately wrong you are.
No, the standard user is far less controlled and doesn't understand the implications and impacts of continually opening new tabs/windows.
The general user is a complete fuckwit and bitches about how slow their browser is.
People on Slashdot are an edge case, they actually understand much of this shit and how to deal with it.
Hmm. I go to TheRegister.co.uk once every few days, open 20-30 stories in different tabs then read through them a tab at a time.
How is this an ADD problem? You want me to click a story, read it, click back, click the next one? That's horribly sub-optimal.
Then again my tabs open instantaneously and aren't re-opened if I close and re-open the browser. That's what bookmarks are for.

Why should the bike lane be adjacent to the main thoroughfares instead of one block over?
Maybe the cyclists want to be on this block.
Maybe there just isn't another block over.
Maybe the city was founded in a time when things grew organically and isn't organised on a block basis.

Surely the answer to "Did the holocaust happen?" is "Yes." whether the searcher is a neo-nazi or not.
The fact that as a neo-nazi wouldn't want that answer on the top of their search results doesn't make it wrong, or wrong to present it to them.
Nope, still not onside.
There were alternatives even back then. Hotmail was never the right answer.
Imagine that you suddenly burst into tears for relatively minor things being wrong, or occasionally for NO REAL REASON. It's horrible.
Try undiagnosed Aspergers - or if that's not enough, combine it with depression.
There may actually be reasons but they're utterly unknowable. You're right, it is horrible.
At least pregnancy can be cured :(
