Exporting labor to foreign countries has become a way of business for many companies. When shareholders start looking for a better earnings per share, management starts to look to cut cost. One way to do that of course if to lay off American workers who helped build the company up from its roots and instead shipping those job overseas. For this, they get to pay a lower cost to get work done but in return, they work these receive isn’t nearly as good. This is just one of the many instances where it’s fair to say that you get what you pay for. So who are the victims in the instance in addition to the laid off workers? How about the customers who lose out on great products and service they’ve become accustomed too.
In reality, the only people who benefit from stop gap measures like sending work overseas are the people in management. These people are looking to protect their jobs and in so doing so they will cut costs where ever the can. It’s easier to show reports on how you saved money on labor than it is to show reports where profits are down but payroll has remained the same. Indeed, once those management types are through prolonging their careers, the mess that’s left behind is for the next managers to deal with. Often they are the ones left untangling the mess when bad work has been flowing in from overseas for years and years.
As a consumer, it is up to you to sepak up against such practices. Indeed, the company is going to listn to the people paying the bills and in business, it’s the consumer who ends up paying all the bills. If you are unhappy as a consumer, there is only so far a company is willing to go to make their bottom line look good. They can’t farm out every detail of the work if you are unsatisfied with the product.
