Or you mean: Oh...so you want to move similarly educated and experienced American workers to another country so you can pay them the same wages as equally trained local workers...fuck you corporate america. ?
What, you think Bob should be paid like royalty (American wages in contrast with local living costs) and work next to Gabor? That sounds nice. 'Hey Gabor, why don't you and Gabi come over to the house this weekend, go swimming and let me show you my buckets of cash...you know, make you feel completely inferior.' If Bob is going to live there then why should he make the same amount of money there than he is here? I mean, the guy was getting fired, along with umpteen how many other people, to save...money. It costs less to live there. What's the issue? Kinda sounds like a win / win if you're the type of guy who likes working with IBM and doesn't want to brave the current job market. You'd rather A. They jeopardize the entire business just to keep everyone they have, then possibly losing the jobs of everyone eventually? B. Don't offer that any of their employees move, hire cheaper labor locally...so as to not offend the worker or TBO. C. Don't offer that any of their now ex-employees have an option other than facing the job market?
Not so sure why you're angry about this ... shit happens, economy's tank for a while, companies have to do what they have to do to keep the ship afloat and keep as much of their workforce as they can. At the very least it sounds like they're trying to do something half way respectable.
