Reverse outsourcing

The McClatchy-run daily in town outsourced Internet ad sales (I believe, something related to — you look it up for once; I have limited time and so far have proven to be fairly reliable, tee hee) to India within the last month, but in England, Fujitsu (yes, a Japanese company on British soil, par for modern business Earth) employees are ready to strike over their jobs' being shipped westward across the Atlantic.

I guess we forget that Indian labor may be cheaper, but U.S. workers are cheap, too.

Our gain is their loss. My loss is your gain.

I have tried twice to outsource my job to India. Unfortunately both times were just as successful as my attempted buyout of myself. Self-employment sometimes sucks.
