outsourced

the anger at being treated cheaply does not go away easily. mental images of being on the auction block like a slave or a block of meat comes painfully to mind.

don't get me wrong - i am aware that management has a responsibility to all stakeholders present: shareholders, directors, current employees, etc. as such the people on top need wisdom and balanced decisions.

(at least, that is what i hope that they considered, instead of just profits and profits. lets be charitable for now - though it really feels like all they are concerned about are costs and more costs..)

somehow, the way the whole operation was handled felt like it was dealt from a heavy-handed blockhead with no regards for the former values that we claimed to hold to: "respect". the words that stayed strongest in mind are "if you don't accept this deal, you don't have another option".

this is a fallen world after all. while it is a hard reality to accept, it would seem like I have mistrusted the name of a great company, and i'm now joining the ranks of explotted cheap labour.
