I don't know about you... but I was a less qualified and purposely
underpaid newbie at one point. :)
It's hard to place any accountability on the people who have to "deal"
with outsourcing because they are forced to move in that direction with
their company. I had a hiring manager tell me early in 2004 that while
they'd have loved to devote all their headcount to U.S. employees,
people above them decided since they were suffering from an overload of
work and it made more sense to go with 1 new U.S. employee and hire 4 in
India for the price of the other and hope for the best.
