Here is my point. People in the "developed countries" think that they are losing jobs to countries like India. They are, no argument there. But the people who actually get these jobs are not getting even a fraction of the pay. The gainers in this equation are certainly the Indians, who get employed for "minimum wage". Dont hate Indians for agreeing to work for a lot less.
The major gainers are the companies themselves.
I doubt anyone blaming the Indian for the massive exodus of IT jobs. The companies is the responsible party here, but like RedDawn said, these companies are always under pressure by the stock holder to produce profits, profits and more profits, so they're simply doing what they're think is the obvious way to produce more profits (cutting cost).
I don't necessarily hate Indian tech support. I only hate it when I can't understand the technician and when it's obvious that the tech knows nothing about the computer.
The real question is, does the cost of living in India compare to the US? If the cost of living is significantly lower then it doesn't matter that they're getting paid "only" $300/month. It's basically the same thing in the states. Whenever you live in an area where the cost of living is high you tend to see salaries that reflect that (of course the IT industry is in the crapper now when looking at some salaries, but you know what I mean).
they call themselves wayne and mike, etc because mullet sporting redneck cracker trash like you and your friends (and especially your mom) feel uncomfortable with people who dont think/act/live like you.
"(and especially your mom) feel uncomfortable with people who dont think/act/live like you."
thats slack coming out w/ the mom slams this early in the thread.
You have to wait until I reply mentioning "banging your wife" first.

You like to blame companies for outsourcing to help strengthen the bottom line. You should be blaming the price sensitive consumers who don?t give a rat?s @ss about service or convenience. Companies would not pull this sh@t if there was a demand for service. You should think about the impact the next time you shop at your local discount store.

good one Athithi
Lets see if you get a 1 month ban for racial slurs. You SHOULD. Cracker is something I find highly offensive. I dont go around saying n1gger or ch1nk, dont go around sayin cracker. Ok?
You hit the nail on the head, RickyRoma!
last time i checked, this was a free market ... if people hate Dell so much, why don't they vote with their dollars?
trouble is people want $499 computers, and they want american english speaking tech support (preferably answering the phone in silicon valley) ... ??? ain't going to happen

some of u guys are sooOO misguided, deluded, and well, simple...
I'm gonna cut/paste my response to previous thread about this..:
DO u honestly think the savings are really passed on to the consumers? We are still paying more or less the same for the product. Price drops on the items are more due to price drops in the components, technology, rather than cost-savings passed on to the consumers. This nothing new, ALL new techie stuff are sold at premium...then price drops as the months go by and more competitors get on the bandwagon. This is the trend regardless. They are sending all the jobs to India so as to improve their OWN bottom line and profits. Can u honestly say u got a great deal now just coz the jobs are in India? I don't and can't. I'm still buying/paying alike the trends, while the companies are improving their bottom line by outsourcing to India and handing me the shorter end of the stick with poorer service and support.

Rage187 is a communist.
We've all been enjoying the benefits of the free market for so long we don't even realize it. What can you do about outsourcing? Go to the country where your job went and get those guys to unionize! That'll kick up the cost a notch or two. Our gov't doesn't have the balls to try and keep our jobs here, its up to all of the people, not just the stockholders.
