I've been writing a review of the movie
Outsourced (posted here on it in the entertainment section as well). If you haven't seen it it's the story of Todd, a Seattle worker/manager at a call center for novelty products (a lot of which are patriotic). He is told his whole department is being replaced and that he is going to have to go to India to train the new guys. So, he does, and a romantic comedy about cultural misunderstandings tells the story nicely. For being a sweet, non-confrontational movie it's really made me think a ton about outsourcing lately, and I've been discussing it with people. I've noticed this, for instance: people feel fine about outsourcing if it's other countries that are outsourcing their labor to the US, but they hate it if we're outsourcing our work somewhere else. Anyway, my feelings are that money should flow freely, forget about the borders. What are your feelings on the subject of outsourcing?
