I love the way they're still calling it a "glitch" when it was a "HUGE" failure

Unions have already blamed the fiasco on the decision to outsource much of the company’s IT jobs , as Indian staff are paid as little as £9,000, compared with £50,000 their British counterparts were paid

£9,000 = Indian equivalent of a GCSE
£50,000 = British Computer Science Degree

It's still not sorted out here in Ireland. Ulster bank are having terrible trouble trying to sort it out, they're looking at the week starting the 16th July before everything's gonna be back to normal. Meanwhile people are having trouble getting their hands on their own money. Ulster bank's after getting lashed here from the authorities but they just don't care, bunch of incompetent f**k's, the lot of them.

This kind of stuff is what I fear. I am going to school for IT, and if they start outsourcing here in the States, people like me could be in a lot of trouble

Corporations in the States have been off shoring IT/development jobs for at least 10 years. After reaching a peak in the mid '00s, the pendulum seems to be swinging the other way somewhat. The quality has been so abysmal in most instances that it ended up costing more in the long run. I like to think that executives have learned a lesson. But I doubt it.

Corps are also importing talent but paying those people considerably less which still reaps bigger profits. That is why you see the huge influx of professional work visa Indians walking around your neighborhood. For one there are not enough qualified Americans to fill those positions and the big two is they do not have to pay the higher salaries that a local would ask for.
