Before this gets any crazier, some laws are needed to regulate outsourcing. I am law-challenged, so all I can suggest is, in the scenario that job(s) get severed because of outsourcing, the people getting replaced _have_ to be given other jobs within the organization. The idea of outsourcing is, the outsourcing entity goes on to do better/other work, not _stop_ doing work! For example, in this case, it would have been much better if at least some of the employees being replaced were given managerial positions over the Indian staff. Everyone needs to push for laws on stuff like this, not just the blokes being laid off.
