Cheaper programmers, it can't get any lower

[Bradley Miller]

Actually I find that link quite funny -- and as Brian was saying . . . 
companies don't value employees anymore (when did they ever?)   It's just 
like telemarketing jobs or whatever else you can think of . . . they're 
farming it out for cheap labor.

Isn't it sad and ironic that years ago people were told "go on, let those 
manufacturing jobs go to other countries and instead learn computer skills 
and do higher paying jobs . . . "   Now we're cutting those jobs out and 
sending them overseas.  That web site provides a good bit of satire on the 
plight of programmers.  The only way that I see foreign work forces is a 
great way for companies to run sweat shops without the 
wages/bureaucracy/etc... that we have here in the states.  Until other 
countries put their foot down and demand equal wages, rights, etc... . . . 
this crap will continue to go on.   $49 DVD players are just great . . . 
cheap computers . . . but when cars cost more than the average assembly 
line worker makes in a year and when it takes two incomes just to run a 
household . . . there is a problem somewhere.
