This is not about IBM going bankrupt, its about cost cutting methods that modern American's have been using for years, the serious problem I have with it is that most of the jobs that are being cut are not simple jobs that require no training or education.
also this is the tip of the iceburg to see how this goes over the plan is to move 3.3 + million jobs in the next few years.
Its not that I am not happy for india and other nations that are getting the perks of this, but I am however pissed off that
a) The service I get is of lesser quality, for the same price. I would say that the greatest problem with be communcations, I often now when calling on Tech support for some of my companies API's I will get a tech center in India and have the hardest time expressing the source of the trouble as well as understanding the resolve they offer.
b) That why will anyone spend 5 years and upwards of $30k - $100k for an education to have your industry outsourced. I know many people that are leaving the industry due to the fact the cost of getting an accredited education cost so much only to find that the job market isn't there.
The Job market is bad enough in the states without or jobs being outsourced. 4k of jobs isn't a big of deal, but 3.3 milion on the other hand is a serious issue.
that is why I say shame on them, as America is still the number one consumer of their product. and the company predates WWII as an American Tech Company.
