Indian Business Machines IBM lays off some Tulsa employees: (link may die) I have mentioned at least once the presence of IBM trainees from India here to learn accounting. Well, it looks like the ax has finally fallen. Layoffs. "An IBM spokeswoman does confirm that about 40 workers were laid off. But one of those workers says it was the way they lost their jobs that has them doubly upset. The worker told us their jobs are being moved to India. What's more, the worker says employees here trained their Indian counterparts, in other words trained the people that are taking their jobs. What's notable is the type of jobs that have been cut; white collar accounting jobs. These are good paying jobs that require schooling. These are the types of jobs we were supposed to get. Jobs safe from this type of overseas outsourcing. Not so. What happens to those student loans used to get that accounting degree? The spokesperson won't say that the jobs moved to India, but let's look at the objective facts. IBM brings Indian workers to Tulsa to train in accounting. After training several groups of new accountants for months the accounting jobs here disappear. IBM wants to deny the obvious facts; that they used American workers to train their lower wage replacements. I once quit a job instead of training my new boss. | |
