Ditto. I've lost my job twice due to outsourcing, and I'm pretty good at what I do. Unfortunately, that makes you high-priced. And, out-sourcers are more concerned about salary than skills. Hence the 'problems' and the spin. Also, companies fall into the trap of asking the wrong question. The question should be: "How can we deliver our product/service most effectively?". Unfortunately, the question asked is: "What can we out-source, this year?" And, with the 'dumbing' of the support staff, this becomes: "How quickly can we shoot ourselves in the foot?" Or, "Which calibre?" (The circus ring-master to the quitting human cannonball: "where can we find another man of your calibre?") - I'm a SuperHero with neither powers, nor motivation!
