Powell on outsourcing
Powell reassures the Indians that he's down with shipping all our knowledge work overseas:
Ever the diplomat!
You know, I keep saying "outsource the CEOs."
At first I meant it as a joke, but then again, why not?
We (a) never see them, and (b) know they don't give two shits about us anyhow, so why shouldn't the corporation save a packet and outsource all the exectives? No private jets, no absurd stock option deals, no bloated salaries, and outsourcing a single executive would save hundreds of American jobs. So, what's not to like?
"Outsourcing is a natural effect of the global economic system and the rise of the Internet and broadband communications. You're not going to eliminate outsourcing; but, at the same time, when you outsource jobs it becomes a political issue in anybody's country."
