Outsourcing

The problem with outsourcing comes from the fundamental mentality of North Americans. Overpaid for a crap job that doesn't deserve such high pay. Unions are created so that people can sit in their fat asses and be secured about their jobs.

The concept of hard working, toughing it out and discipline have completely dissappeared. While we complain about having worked for 12 hours with only 6 hours of sleep for a week, people in asia are doing that for the whole year.

Because the base job pay is relatively high compared to the other countries, it is then only reasonable to raise the pay for those jobs on the higher spectrum… making us, the north americans, unable to compete with the cost effectiveness of the asian countries.

Engineers here get paid for about $25 per hour while they work for $5 per hour overseas. If you are the CEO, what would you do?
