Anonymous Coward User ID: 1010412 United States 01/17/2013 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've heard of plenty of companies getting burned by outsourcing coding work to India and China...even though it's cheaper, it usually comes back to bite them in the ass later on. This guy worked for a "critical infrastructure company"...nice, nothing like letting the wolf into the henhouse |

The high tech skilled market is much, much better. (Note: most high tech or highly skilled jobs in today's US market are shipped overseas to India, China and even the middle east such as Israel). |

It will become an urban ledgend in and around the company and their 'culture'. You have 2 (actually 3) choices in a predatory falsified matrix; be a slave or a parasite. (or choose not to play and BECOME REAL attempting to oscillate toward authentic genuine Divine Law). The end of this 'game' is in sight (!). Last Edited by Being * gnieB on 01/17/2013 06:54 PM |
