Means of Exploitation
[Content Note: Outsourcing exploitation.]The Daily What: Computer Programmer Fired for Outsourcing His Job to China.Charge developer of the U.S. critical infrastructure company was caught...outsourcing his projects to some Chinese talking to firm for any fifth of his six-figure annual salary. An analysis of his work computer says he spent a lot of his workday surfing websites like Facebook, Reddit and eBay, while receiving praise for work being carried out through the companies overseas.So, I am speculating that my position on outsourcing—which, as it's been typically practiced by US-based companies, exploits employees in developing nations, drives lower wages for employees in america, and cares naught for fundamental worker privileges (nor, frequently, fundamental human privileges)—is most likely pretty apparent, but, just in case it isn't, I am not in support of it!Things I like relating to this story, though, is how it's justifiable for any corporation to delegate try to increase sales, but in some way not justifiable to have an worker of this corporation to delegate try to maximize earnings.Companies are people, but people aren't companies.Now, there might be additional relevant particulars here that drove the choice to fire this person. Critical infrastructure is one thing that could require background inspections on people focusing on it, etc. But his major transgression appears to become getting labored to his advantage the identical system that companies have used against employees for many years.Fascinating, that.
