I think it's actually a bit more ironic than that

As the Indian economy has grown with offshoring, so has the price tag attached to the workers. While they have an enormous population, they do not necessarily have an enormous educated population...percentage-wise, it's probably equivalent to ours. So now, much like here, the shortage of skilled workers has forced them to pay more for those workers. And, as we have already painfully learned, in the corporate world, the only loyalty is to the bottom line. Consequently, the Indian firms are forced to look for some place to get their work done cheaper, which now is the Philippines. The same things that made India appealing to American multinationals (cheap labor, English speaking) is also present in the Philippines, thanks to the long-term presence of the American Naval bases. If there is a bright side, it's that the work is getting at least geographically closer to our shores again, although admittedly by the time it gets back here, I'm afraid the line is going to make 7 c/l seem like a fortune.

Well, that's ironic
As I'm a pagan, so your Bible analogy made me LOL, thanks!
If these boards have no power, why is GP being sued and why are so many coming unhinged at the thought of it?
You're talking out of both sides of your mouth.
Isn't it ironic that you're the only
and it's not a bank thing. Don't forget it's done in INDIA. 2 p.m. there is already our following day  You must be very special and I hope they pay your well to come and post what a great company they are. Great is not the word I'd use.
How ironic!! Game just ended. Sox won.

Ironic since the people running it really do SM
have connections with different companies. Just don't feel like knocking themselves out. I can understand that.
I had same airhead test me. Remember one question as is it halter monitor or Holter monitor?. I am not making that up. Pathetic.
Hope you get paid soon - ironic how they
they boast about how the person in charge of this venture is sooo reputuable and then have have this drastic need to hair a lot of MTs on a venture that is still up in the air posted by the VP of the company (dependent on whether or not they GET the number of MTs to commit to their new unsecured Dictiphone venture)??
things that make you go hmmm? Sounds like a lot of of wind being passed...
Hope you get your check sooner rather than later. Only time this happened to me, I quit working the *day* payment was supposed to be received, wanted a few weeks, got the check and let them know I wasn't into being played and did no further work. No pay..no production. Period.
Larry is their quasi-retired delivery person...see link...had to have been posted by someone from MS.
Speaking of Dell, isn't it ironic that s/m
the first time you call to place an order, you speak with a pleasant, articulate American, but any call after that goes straight to India?
The last time I called Dell, there was such a communication breakdown that I demanded to speak with an American.
Ironic though that upper management's SM
salary, perks and bonuses make yours look *cheesy* also.
Isn't it ironic that "Integrity" would a part of this company's name?? nm

Their website touts themselves as being an "AMERICAN" family-owned company. Kind of ironic! n
