Off-shore Outsourcing
I've been a follower of Declan McCullagh's PolitechBot for a few years now. While I don't always agree with or care to read much of what comes over the mailing list, the occasional gem that arrives is usually enough to make up for the past couple weeks of non-interesting articles. Recently an article was sent across with select quotes from Alan Greenspan with regards to the current trend of off shore outsourcing. After I read the article, I was actually surprised to find some well written and thought out responses to the original Greenspan article. Mind you I said some of these, not all the articles are well written non-emotional responses. All worth the time to read if you're at all interested in the attitudes of the US administration and what seem to be the general opinions of a technologically skilled public.
Personally, I'm still waiting to for the C-level positions to be out-sourced. The reality is that while a CEO might believe (s)he's invaluable to the company, the truth is (s)he is not. Oh, and I'm sure their job can be done cheaper not just overseas but also within country.
