Works for Dell and HP/Compaq. Only if you don't look at their customer satisfaction surveys. But thats not the point anyway. Why wouldn't Carly Fiorina or Mike Dell be thrilled this this abysmal situation we have here? Corps pay almost no taxes, options aren't expensed, offshore engineering means the entrepreneurial climate is damaged wrt knowledge base of local workforce where the "next dell" is likely to come from and BushCo keeps looting the federal treasury paid for by individual taxpayers to reward corps even more. CEOs here make 20 times their equivalents in india even if they aren't as good from an execution/vision standpoint (Fiorina). Dell and Fiorina couldn't get this reverse robin hood deal in any other country. Even though they both produce average products at this point they get to hang around. A real free market would take them down. So you did lose your job. I am 40 years old and a management consultant. I know its hard to defend Bush's record but this line of attack is tiresome.

WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO KID? TC, Re: (Outsourcing) Works for Dell and HP/Compaq. No. It works for Michael Dell, personally. And it works for Carly Fiorina, personally. And a tiny handful of others. But it is a lie to say that it works for the U.S. employees of either company who are often heartlessly forced to train their cheap replacements before they are served their pink slips. I find your comments grotesque misrepresentations of reality. How is it that all of you Bushistas have drunk the corporate kool-aid and become crooks and lame liars? How is it that people like me read George Orwell's "1984" when we were young and took it as a warning, and people like you read Orwell and took it as a lesson to be learned? "War Is Peace." "Ignorance is Strength." "Outsourcing is Prosperity!"
