Bad news deliveries are never easy. Especially when it pertains to job losses. And the possibility of snatching away a person’s steady income, a certain lifestyle, family comforts etc. The difficult decision that many corporates in America are being forced to take these days on account of the worsening situation at home gets compounded in the case of offshore vendors by the distance factor.

Desperate situations often call for desperate measures.
So while I do understand the angst that prompts a rookie ex-programmer like Virgil Bierschwale to start something like where he keeps venting his spleen at the American CEOs who continue to lay off employees in order to stay above the water (Bierschwale even has a “Wall of Shame” (I would call it a breast-beating forum) for them on his website) —- the fact cannot be brushed aside that outsourcing as a business model may not just survive, but even thrive in a depressed market.
