I seen both as well.
Do a experiment and look in your house and see how much stuff in your house is built the US.
Even take a look at what you have on and see how much of it is built in the US.
Working for international companies and spending a lot of time overseas. I can tell you brotha this shipping work overseas ain't stopping when it comes to commercial sector. Them folks in the midwest and Pennsylvania been voted Reagan, bush sr and bush jr in and it stil didn't bring them jobs back.
I will never forget after 9/11 and 2008 how telecom companies shipped whole departments to india and china.
All because of the labor rates (when that economy tanks these companies go running for lower rates like johns go running for escorts on backpage). To tell you the truth a lot of these companies don't even care as much about poor quality overseas. In the end they look at it as a necessary evil. Cause the CEOs and VPs are bean counters. As long as that shyt ain't cutting in overall profits and customers ain't turning their back they good.
DoD is one of the few fields where this shyt can't go down in high levels.
Exactly
I can understand loweage labor jobs being sent overseas. Its still greedy ass CEOs and shyt that are fukked up.
But something like high level IT? Usually that serves US citizens abd small businesses but are outsourced overseas? Thats stupid imo regardless of how many intellgent STEM people are at apple. That's because Apple is actively looking for them and they're not typical IT. They are other shyt dealing with apps, programming, etc. not really administration for small/large companies, security, etc. I'm sure they got a team for that but most these people are tech startup types... Not admin.
I've seen that shyt bomb. It happened to my mom.. Her company outsourced her entire IT department to nikkas in brazil and that shyt was s mess. They tried to get her to come back as a manager a few years later and she told them HELL No. She was very bitter and angry because she was an IT manager for like 10 years there. Bled sweated and cried for them. And now they still got to pay her retirement
I'm trying to actually go back overseas with the DOD and the DOD jobs stay hiring IT.. Especially if you have a clearance, which is something outsourced employees will never get.
