New theory: PREVIOUS generations had a sense of entitlement

[ryoder]

I was laid off to the detriment of my entire small company of about 50 software engineers, managers, product people, marketing folks and admins and to the delight of hundreds of employees in India back in 2006. My famine was their feast. My loss and drunken sorry that weekend was their pay raise as economic opportunity left Florida and flourished in India.
Sad but reality.
I bounced back and didn't take a single check of unemployment, finding employment locally at another company.

My gut reaction is to make illegal, the firing of any employee in America and the subsequent hiring of the poor souls in India and other developing nations. I would like to hoard all of the wealth here in this country but it is not right to do this. These people are competing on the same playing field as I am and if they choose to take a lower salary and provide a comparable service, then they win.

Of course I don't think their services are near as high quality as American software developers but I am biased. I also believe Chevy products are far suprerior to the likes of BMW, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi and of course Toyota.

But as a lover of freedom and opportunity for all, I cannot deny those poor developers in India their information revolution.
