The Companies dont want to call themselves OutSourced Low call Centers (How many would want to) if they call themselves that way What will be image projected ?<BR/><BR/>So they promise Development work and Hi-Fundu stuff which is a pure exagerration hoping mean time they will be able to get something ...<BR/><BR/>And the employee has high hopes abt the nature of job and finally feels defeated.....<BR/><BR/>A lot of Managers have a disease of "PROJECTING things" rather than expressing as they are ....thats why they are called PROJECT managers i guess.<BR/><BR/>If i as a job seeker knew it is doing some junk work , i will not seek that and look for soemthing else which i m interested in .

Yes, it is a difficult time for those loosing jobs, and one might feel that companies are the ones to be blamed.<BR/><BR/>Hey but look at it from the comapany's perspective. Outsourcing was always there. Japanese and chinese goods have been flooding the market since ages. Manufacturing bases in china and japan have traditionally stolen 1000's of jobs from US and Europeans. So why is there so much hoopla now for IT jobs ? it is simply because of the reach job losers in IT have to convey their distress.<BR/><BR/>Today it is India, tommorrow it will be phillipines and brazil taking away our jobs. Companies will still try and outsource stuff. It would be foolish on our part to believe that we would be indispensible, same thing applies to those who have lost their jobs.<BR/><BR/>tradionally, dollar economies made big bucks by buying cheap goods from 3rd world countries, read nike, louie phillipe, and sold them for dollar rates in US. while their economy was booming, technology came to the fore, and Companies suddenly found themselves in need for technology enabled services. <BR/><BR/>Enter programmers, blue collar workers, difficult to find, and costly to employ...but business was booming, so they hired them nonetheless...paid them hugely, and pampered them. <BR/><BR/>3rd world countries caught up much faster than expected, and suddenly the money churning market started feeling the pinch .... so they sent the jobs offshore..sound economic sense...play by the rules..<BR/><BR/>why is everyone making such a noise about it ? jobs are not their birth right , are they ? yes, if the company uses resources in a given country, it has to employ people from there and not get people from outside, but if the company is a global one, having loactions across the world, nobody can question the company as to why they are recruiting more people in a given location. It is like telling the consumer to buy goods only from somalia, because apparantly he is from somalia !..<BR/><BR/>Free market does not work that way, and there is no need to be sympathetic about such stuff. <BR/><BR/>tommorrow a day will come when i might lose my job, that would not be becasue of my foolishness, but if i cannot plan for it and think of other sources of livelihood, then i am foolish. <BR/><BR/>Corporations are but a manifestation of the human persona !Jagadishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028619276016525690noreply@blogger.com
