The Long Retreating Roar

http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/81/offshore.html

Another look at the pros and cons, ups and downs of offshoring, which has been addressed previously in this blog, at some length. Even so, a couple of qualities make this particular article worth a glance.

The first thing worth noting is that offshoring is not the same as a downturn in the business cycle -- jobs lost through offshoring are gone "and they ain't a-coming back". The human cost of this is considerable: we may experience some schadenfreude in contemplating how people who once earned 6-figure salaries now see McDonald's as a luxury treat, but we do so at our peril. There seems to be no natural stopping place for the offshoring phenomenon, and the potential corrosiveness it can exert on worker loyalty is something which really deserves more attention than it currently gets.

The second thing worth noting is how fundamentally dishonest most companies are about this issue, which this article particularly highlights. One can understand that offshoring is a PR disaster for those firms implementing it, but corporate convenience should not be the yardstick by which public debate is conducted in a democracy. By acting in such an evasive manner, corporations become part of the problem instead of the solution [and, worse, make defining the problem and therefore deriving solutions alike more difficult].

Some observers have cautioned against emotionalism over this issue, but in my heart of hearts, I wonder if perhaps it is time for us to get mad about it.
