It is no laughing matter in the technical field. A lot of our jobs have gone to India and for your information 1/2 the staff in my department is from India.Pedro wrote:But DMC's Job will still be heading to India by 2006.XtremeJibber2001 wrote:http://bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm wrote:Employment rose in November, and the unemployment rate, at 5.4 percent, was

Sometimes I think about how different my life would be if I was still at AT&T.. I could actually retire next year with full medical - but I can't and I'll be working until I'm 80 now.....tyrolean_skier wrote:It is no laughing matter in the technical field.

I think we forget outsourcing has been in our economy for years and is a normal part of business.tyrolean_skier wrote:It is no laughing matter in the technical field.

I hear ya, after i was done with the Infantry I was a signal officer in the army, (communications) I delt with everything from telecom to satelite. I thought i was going to have people banging on my door for communications jobs when i got out, but the economy changed drastically by that time.tyrolean_skier wrote:It is no laughing matter in the technical field.

2 years ago I thought the same thing, that i would have a job for life at merck... You never heard of anyone getting fired, layed off etc. I told this guy who started after me,, hey your set for life buddy how does it feel? four months later they laid off 4.000 people...one year later Viox Bites it. Things are still good, and im not complaining but things are still changing.DMC wrote:...brat...XtremeJibber2001 wrote: It's always been that way since I can remember (I'm only 21 haha).
I remember being shocked when we first heard about outsourcing... In 1983 when I started with AT&T - you got hired for life - if you wanted it...
Out of the 100 or so people I knew at AT&T there's maybe 4 left on the AT&T payroll...
That I am. Although I was born in 1983 it's been engraved in my head that job security it's basically non-exsistent these days.DMC wrote:...brat...XtremeJibber2001 wrote: It's always been that way since I can remember (I'm only 21 haha).

My last gig was with Medco... Lots of ex-MERCK people there... MEDCO was going to offer me a job but this one in Albany with CSC came up first.. And I can live in the mountains... So I took it!!!
Great having a fulltime gig... Even if it is slower then I'm used to...
