Would anyone have an estimate of outsourcing in Florida ?

I know 'Kuzin Jebbie Shrub" had a close relationship with Accenture (think Arthur Andersen & Enron) Florida Government jobs were outsourved to Accenture and in turn sent overseas.

PricewaterhouseCoopers has done outsourcing. Federal Government has sent jobs overseas.

I am just trying to get a picture of who all is doing it and how many jobs may be involved from Florida.

1. Don't know the full impact but I do know 2 cases very personally.

2 of my good friends worked for a company that configures Computers remotely.
They were a lot more than just a help desk...they installed the software and databases (for this company)
remotely, plus updated the software and configured the customers "stuff" when needed.

3 weeks ago the company laid them off and moved the "service" to India.
The real Shitty part is they had to train the people who were going to take their jobs.

They are NOT happy Campers.....sigh...

2. I have heard of cases like that before

That train your replacement act is real class. I once had a HR guy shop my job to see what they could find at what price. They ran the ad through our auditor to make it blind. But the dumb asses charged the invoice to my department. The invoice was sent to me for approval since there was no purchase order. I sent it back unapproaved with the no prior approval slip and informed them I was charging it to HR.
