shorty Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 September 7, 2006 NEW DELHI/ BANGALORE: Global pink slips in the tech industry may end up benefiting India as big-wigs like Intel, Sony, CA, IBM and Sun Microsystems CONtinue to chop Americans. With cost-cutting a major priority, Intel may outsource more to India, say market sources, and IBM, which announced axing of 13,000 jobs in Europe and the US, followed it up with plans to treble its investments in India over the next three years by pumping in $6 Billion towards its operations there.

shorty Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 of course this has been going on for years, and in this case I aSSume this guy was joking......but the funniest jokes are often based on truth I am working with two other project managers to implement the "No hiring Americans program." The program is exactly what it says: Under NO circumstances does my company hire any American worker for any reason. I don't care if the worker graduated with a electrical engineering degree from MIT and is certified in MCSE, MCSD, CNE, CCNA, etc. -- if that person is an American, that person is not getting a job at my company. Period. If that person is an Indian, they're hired right away without going through any interview process. No questions asked, no strings attached. Even if his or her job experience is limited to driving a taxi cab in New York, I would hire that person over an American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardrech Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I think that the dozens of people expressing sanguine opinions about the Chinese and Indians becoming the New economic Locomotives that will lead us into the promised land of milk and honey are, like Laird says,just one depression premature-- They are expressing opinions like the hypnotised Keynesians that they are They are thinking that we are entering a period of "Generic resessionism". They fail to observe that this time, it realls is different, and that our global descent into hell is on the installment plan, or rather the lack of time payment plans which is limited to Henry Ford's USA--The ancient $5 a day wage scale established by H Ford was the reason we became a monstrously appetitive eating machine where parents now give birth to 75 pound infants Without the USA's addiction to consumerism the so-called Oriental locomotives will fail to stem the decline...lacking the appropriate number of piggish high-incomed gluttons (this doesn't include millions of arrivistes who didnt make the cut) they will find their plants starved for lack of customers and their overinvested socities will join us on theroller coaster to Hades-- beardrech The Big D after this one will find them as leaders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranciscoTheMan Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Plenty of those outsourcing operations are productive cost savers, but many projects done by foreign coders wind up as total rewrites. Especially the small jobs that are are not supervised by individuals with strong coding skills and a commitment to quality. I have aquintance who frequently finds work picking up where "rent-a-coders" have failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorty Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 So the value of developed world housing went up from $30 Trillion to $70 Trillion-plus these past few years during the biggest leveraged speculative bubble in human history. "Now, like all leveraged speculative bubbles, that paper wealth simply gets washed away via asset devaluation and deflation, which is already well underway. But $40 Trillion? Damn, that's gonna suck." :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be like an auto-engineer getting ASE certifications. What I heard about Intel is that they are reducing operations in India. Israel has saved Intel's butt.
