 My job just went offshore

This is not just one industry but hits most if not all. Today it was announce (not locally) that a Canadian paper had story on one of their companies buying large lumber company here. Watch out for Murf and others here with their lumber and Cat equipment.

One industry I think we could save a lot moving offshore and (Haiti is close) is our prisions. Why not? Hey conract with China on those and let us build tractors here. Repeat offenders sure would be down. Once news got around so would first timers.

There was short note that per Farm Bureau we will be moving farming off shore in near furture. Now, I tell you, I can do without a lot that is going that way but food is sort of one of my fondest items.

Tell me how the turkey farmer in North Carolina can buy Brazil soybeans cheaper than those grown in field next to his turkeys? It is more than labor cost.

As to problems with overseas call centers, I have terminated business with a company because of that. Reasons already given on poor service.

Hey, if it keeps up, the open border issue will be solved for the U.S. Guess the Rio Grande will not be what they are swimming.

49,

I am sorry I got on with my thoughts and concerns and missed something.

I am sorry for your loss. It can tear at your gut and heart. I used to work for a world leader in mfg that said they were not worried about any other company. TOday there name is no longer found.

If I may give you a thought. It may be that you either by yourself or with some of the others there could form your own company doing just what the company was doing. You already know the reasons you should be used compared to the offshore people. Go to US companies and tell your story. You might just be surprised who will agree with you. Look at all size companies. Think of business similiar to the company you were a call center for. Think of local companies they have service call needs and is growing and having problem hiring. They may be glad to contract with someone.

I don't sell airplanes but was told years ago they are sold per cost per passenger mile. That is what you are saying on recalls and complaints.

I do wish you and your friends well. The US still has more opportunity than any other nation. THat is what ever alien is saying.

SG,

That is cold. Not as cold as the heart of an ACLU lawyer.

49tandc,

Have wondered about you and what is going on.

Last night I listen to a talkshow fill in for Dr. Michael Savage on talk radio. He was talking about the sorry lot of trying to get customer service with his airline and their nonusa telephone service call center. He was expressing what you said he would.

FYI I called my local IP and got hit with a foregin call center also, Missouri.
