Comments on: How to survice being outsourced http://sprovoost.nl/2008/12/13/how-to-survice-being-outsourced/ All about me Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:55:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Steve Sammartino http://sprovoost.nl/2008/12/13/how-to-survice-being-outsourced/comment-page-1/#comment-6677 Steve Sammartino Sat, 13 Dec 2008 02:52:53 +0000 http://sprovoost.nl/?p=169#comment-6677 It's a very interesting thing. I think what could also happen, is that overseas coders will get more expensive as they move up the learning / skill curve. Or at a minimum there will be some form of equalization where western coders price drops and offshore coders become more expensive. Regardless, structural displacement and unemployment is a fact of life, that most workers face at some point during life. The only people who can and have, historically avoided all potential for structural change effecting their employment is Management and those 'who control the factors of production'. Otherwise it is a required plight of humans to constantly re-skill as technology and economies develop. Thanks for the link and the thoughtful post after reading mine. Steve.
