OUTSOURCING
It is hard to say if outsourcing work to other countries is an advantage or disadvantage. Today we found out that our company has outsourced our data entry to the Philippines. At one point it will sure benefit them over there since job is scarce but yet around 1000 employees over here are loosing their jobs. Reality hits a lot of people here especially those who were not able to go to college. Our company has a lot of employees who started doing data entry and has earned the seniority. They know that they would not get the same wage as they are getting now anywhere else. On the other hand there are more unfortunate people in the Philippines that needs a paying job. If you think about it, the winner is the company since they are paying cheaper wage for the same amount of work being done. Being a filipino and working with people that are going to get laid off it is kind of hard to explain what I feel right now. Well what do you think?

outsourcing has been an emerging trend in US companies to cut down on cost and increase their profits.
I wouldn't really know how you feel at the moment. Being Filipino and hearing this news must be hard.
Well right now Philippines is one of the cheapest way to go. Though there are still other jobs out there and other chances for but this only apply to the young people that are going to get laid off at work. As for the old people it must be hard to start all over again.
