Overseas jobs

[dhbearguy]

Well, I did something interesting on the phone with Dell Financial Services yesterday.

They answered and right away I could tell I was reaching a country other then the US. Most likely India.

I asked my question and they were able to answer it pretty quickly. I Find it interesting that you can't pay a technology company online for their technology products.

At the end of the call she said "Is there anything else I can help you with?" to which I replied.....

"No, and thank you for taking a job from a hard working American"

Now, I know they are trying to make a living like anyone else, and I should be mad at Dell, not at the poor rep on the end of the phone, but with all the people I know who got laid off so this rep could have a job, I am quite annoyed. And for once, it just came out.

I wonder when my company is going to ship off. Hopefully not any time soon.

Hoenstly, that would be better phrased (and a little less powerful) as "The one person you know here who got laid off so a NUMBER of reps there could have a job."

The problem here is definitely not the rep. Or the company the rep works for overseas. Dell, perhaps. But really, it's the government subsidies for off-shoring these and other jobs. If you want an act of patriotism, get the laws changed.
