You gotta be kidding me! I have friends that have lost their jobs because
our company has moved the work to India. My friends are having a hell of a time finding a new job. My job is at risk as well as our company migrates to India, along with lots of other major companies. America is selling out it's own employees for cheap labor in India, I wouldn't send a dirty toothbrush. -Drew "T-shirts" wrote in message ...

This is very hard because I'd hate to see these people leave, then I wonder why some people are still employed. I'm "safe" only due to my position, knowledge, and working directly with India developers. So I wish you luck... I know my position is a ticking time bomb and can only hope I can hang in there for the duration.

ROFL.... It's an "inside" acronym for a business group for the corp. Drew &
I work for. I personally manage the work load of a team of 4.5 (three in India, myself, and another .5 head in the US) for about 7 applications used within the SCA (Supply Chain Applications) under KTBR (keep the business running) for SMPA (Systems Manufacturing Planning Applications). Instead of saying those long "names" describing where and what, we use acronym. The corp. has an on-line dictionary which is rarely updated. So it is hard to keep track of exactly what all of them mean. Tracy ~~~~~~~ http://www.hornschuch.net/tracy/ "You can't solve problems with the same type of thinking that created them."

Yes, acro city. You can actually get through a business meeting using
nothing but acronums. As for woprking with india, I've been doing it for years. I have some good friends over there now, I don't blame them at all. What country wouldn't jump at good jobs? My problem is that I'm one of 6 white males left on my floor. Everyone else is Indian. Gee, wonder why that is. "Tracy" wrote in message news:4YHJa.70699$vq.14711@sccrnsc04... ROFL....

Interesting. I was divorced largely because i had a computer programming job,
which I hated, and which made me cranky, and resent my wife for being able to stay home and watch TV and spend MY money. She simply refused to work ! I am blamed for "choosing poorly". I kept at the programming job because of the money, and I thought "at least my wife won't leave, because I make a lot of money". Well, she left anyway, taking most of MY assets, after having mooched off me for 13 years (free benefits, nice house, free psychiatrist, her own car, the whole 9 yards). After the divorce, I finally had some time to actually keep a lot of what I earned, instead of having her make it disappear. That only lasted a few years, though. In December, 2002, our programmimng jobs (at IBM Global Services) went to India, and about 200 of us "American" programmers got the axe. I look at it as a way to "start over" now. No ungrateful lazy "self-actualizing" dependent wife ripping me off, no high-stress technojob. I am now looking for a low stress job which I will enjoy, or at least not hate. I still pay my monthly CS. I do not regret having a child, but I do regret being so "stand-up Protestant Work Ethic do the right thing protect the woman and put your head on the chopping block you are to be used and abused anything else is unamerican and unmanly stop whining work harder earn more so the wife can spend more". Bulls**t. The sad thing is, even if I could do it all over, and got a prenup to protect me from "choosing poorly", the prenup would have been thrown out by 90 percent of the judges!!! God Bless all of you guys who are DOING something to fix the problems with NCP situation. |

My sympathies, Lech, about your programming job. My sister's job went to
India, too. She tried to get some assistance in some sort of retraining, and was told that retraining funds were to help those who had never worked, not those who had worked until their jobs were shipped overseas. She had to sell her house, home of 25 years, pack up her beloved husband who had just suffered a stroke, and move. She is getting paid by SS to stay home and take care of hubby until she can find something and get on her feet again. "Lecher9000" wrote in message ... Interesting.
