IBM OUTSOURCING THOUSANDS OF JOBS


[+] serious ballot by Paulwalnuts
ACTIVE Thu Mar 26, 09 - Wed Jun 24, 09

A group of guys I work with were telling me that IBM is outsourcing something like 5,000 jobs. They already supposedly outsourced many thousands more. The part I don't get is why. All the jobs are IT and technical and the news said that with wages coming down in this country, there is no need. Everyone's talking about this terribe recesion and IBM does this bonehead move. How are people suppose to get the economy going if they're being laid off because some greedy company wants even more billions of dollars in profits.

These guys said that if IBM has government contracts that they should be pulled since IBM and companies like it are making the economy worse. Should IBM lose goverment contracts if they're going to needlessly outsource jobs and put people out of work?

IBM sucks
IBM should lose all their government contracts
IBM has a right to do this
Boycot IBM

COMMENTS:
What is sad is while they are paying 25% of what it costs an american worker, those workers are so imcompetent that it takes 4 of them to do 1 persons job in US.

so there goes the savings.

Voted : IBM should lose all their government contracts
Thats kind of what one of my work buddies was saying too. I checked it out and since what they pay those same people in the USA is dropping it makes even less sense for them to do this. Maybe IBM has a right to do this but when people don't have jobs don't complain that your company is doing bad. They say we should all go out and spend money but why would you when IBM does a bonehead move like this.

i dealt with an outsourced crew in India. It turned out to be all friends and families of the guy who owns the outfit, whether they were qualified or not.

there nothing worse than being on a teleconference where the new team doesn't know what the hell you are talking about, and those who were laid off were costing the company less than these clowns...

On the news it said that IBM is now under investigation. Apparently, the CEO of IBM got money from the government, despite having revenues of $100 billion in 2008. Some members of Congress are now saying that they may launch an investigation into their plans to outsources, as well as into other areas of their business.

My girlfriend's stepdad worked for IBM and just got canned. Not sure if it had anything to do with this, but sucks regardless.
