First came the layoffs, now comes the offshoring of IT jobs. Customer service jobs are sure to follow.
Looks like WN is playing catch-up. They're not only gutting the tech workforce, CIO's set up their own outsourcing companies to profit from the move. Maybe Congress grows a pair and disrupts the competitive advantage Indian firms offer. Like a 25% excise tax on “outsourcing payments" with carve outs for critical services. Then funding “workforce development initiatives” in states with excessive job displacement.
