Outsourcee

This is the other side of the story. The other side of all those jobs that disappeared from the US of A, the ones people debate over endlessly on Slashdot. I'm one of the people who do those jobs. When I read those debates on Slashdot, on CNN, on the Indian Express, I wonder if they know what it feels like to be the guy who's taken those jobs. Here's what it's like...

Name:
Location: Karnataka, India

My writing tries to do the one thing I'd like to be able to do : Express emotion in the restricted vocabulary of language. Besides that, I find I'm an outsider to the human world, constantly trying to catch and analyze thinking patterns, adding them to my psyche when I can.

Mulford quoth

Here's an interview with the US ambassador to India, David Mulford, on the eve of the US Elections. Mulford talks of a lot of things, including the public debate in the US over the loss of jobs due to outsourcing. Interesting reading.

A relevant quote for our blog:

Because, at the moment, we are outsourcing jobs lower down the spectrum. If that begins to change—it probably will to some extent because of India’s great competence and tremendous human talent resource pool, as well as other countries—it will probably become something of an issue in the future. But it will be a different kind of an issue, I think. And, it’ll demand stronger education, training and so on. And it will be better prepared for it.
