Absolutely ridiculous.
Giving one so called "failed" example out of thousands
of companies who are successful in outsourcing is just
an exception, not the rule. There would be an endless
list on the opposite column!
"work is compromised" ?! Just go through this..

Oracle Moves Development to Bangalore, Is Germany
Next? June 1, 2004
"Keith Budge of Oracle says that his firm is moving
its software development to Bangalore because of
‘superior quality of services’, in addition to lower
cost," writes supportinsight.com.
While Bangalore is the the destination for many IT
companies, according to the article, Germany has its
own appeal,
"Bavaria is calling itself ‘the Silicon Valley of
Europe’ and gotoBavaria has offices in Bangalore and
can get prospective business office accommodation in
the Bavarian capital of Munich at $700 a month,
instead of the unsubsidised going rate of $2,000."

Phrases like "OUR" Companies, "MY" jobs sound
superflous in todays world where nearly all non-govt
companies are global, manufacture globally and sell
globally.
"MY" job??? - is there a birth-right on jobs???
Just to remind of something similar - in early 19th
century the textile industries (mainly cottage) in
India were forced to stop producing. The raw material
was taken back to Manchester, garments were mass
manufactured there and exported back into India!
Tomorrow jobs will go away to the next best
destinatoin
but the reason would be that 1$=10Rs or something like
that (maybe the reverse!)... and so the production
line economics would not seem that attractive...
Unfortunate maybe... but, thats the way business
works.
My 0.05 paise.
Have fun.
