    It’s going to be more expensive to hire and train new people when the dumdums in upper management finally figure out the mistakes

    Unfortunately that’s not the case. Those who have been laid off are those paid high salaries to build up the foundation. Now that the foundation is already there, they future work won’t be as complex as before and need less training. So why would they still pay the very high salaries? They’ll just get rid of the used-to-be-important programmers and hire the can-be-hired-for-a-lot-less programmers from India. It’s sad, but that’s the reality.

      Small-to-medium companies see you at least as investment. So this is where i work.

        Yeah, at least give you argument so I can also laugh at myself too.

        Anyway, take a look at this article that just came out just earlier, which means that by no chance it’s been referenced when I wtote my earlier comment. And do take note of the BOLD words.
