      Just add $5000 onto whatever your getting paid, tell him/her that and say you'll do it for an extra $2000 a year and save on all the relocation costs. Regards, Brian Dela :-) http://www.briandela.com IE 6 required.

          We are trying to get counter arguments for another division. If the big boss realizes his pet division can also be outsourced maybe he'll pull back a little.

                  "Outsourced" means buying a skill set from someone else, rather than doing it in house. With all the controversy these days about so many jobs being moved to India, it usually refers to farming out jobs to another country, but it's really nothing new. I has long been common in the US for companies to hire another company to do payroll, for instance, or to maintain their copy machines, rather than keeping internal staff to do those jobs.

                  you've just lost your turn..." [sigh] So true...

                    If I understand your question. Outsource means to have someone from outside the company perform the work. The major trend is for companies to outsource work to cheaper locations, India for the moment.

                      At the end of that, the only remaining person in developed countries will be shareholders: the entire operation can be outsourced so long the money can be wired back and that it hasn't got a thing to do with national security. Norman Fung

                          Outsourcing PR sounds like a recipe for a disaster to me. This job is all about communication and understanding the customer. And you do not convince many customers using cultural patterns from 6000 miles away. Outsource programming is possible because programming languages are standardised and a loop is a loop whether written by Indian or American programmer. But marketing messages are all about culture.

                              True. But, I'd rahter keep development work and let them take PR instead (yes, it doesn't make any sense but..). Norman Fung
