The Rumor

There has been a rumor going around my job for probably the last year or so. The rumor? That our company was looking to out source. Now when this rumor first started it was assumed that it was for the front line employees. You know, the ones who actually stuff the envelopes. But we were quickly told that "yes, it had been looked into but that it was still cheaper to run the business here.

Well the rumor is back and this time I've heard it from a very reliable source that the higher ups are looking again - strongly. AND that they are looking to move the whole enterprise, probably keeping a few "key" people here to run things. Now when will this happen? Probably not all at once and "right now". We've known about 2 centers they are already looking to close so that will probably be the beginning. Then they will probably close others one at a time until we're all gone.

And where will we out source to? Probably India or somewhere like that. Isn't that where all the companies move to? Now I understand that the company is trying to save money... but come on! Are you serious? You want to let go all of your AMERICAN employees and move the jobs out of the Country? Yep, that's a way to help the economy. Give our jobs to someone else.

Thanks, looking forward to it and starting the countdown.
