This is a gratuitous and insulting statement - all that would have been necessary to make your point is to say I got replaced by both offshore resources and <I got replaced by both offshore resources (people of color in foreign lands)> Rachel Rachel Foerster & Associates Ltd 39432 North Avenue Beach Park, IL 60099 Voice: 847-872-8070 Fax: 847-589-8081 email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.rfa-edi.com/> www.rfa-edi.com

It used to be so. A qualifier: I am now employed, but this is after 5 years of living the life of one outsourced. I got replaced by both offshore resources (people of color in foreign lands) and by younger Americans (change the job title, and you don't have to call it age discrimination). The only time I outright refused to give help to someone was when the specific person who replaced me at my former company called and asked for help on the specific project I'd been working on. Sorry, dear, the company isn't paying me anymore, try somewhere else. Please don't rant against people trying to make a living and survive. Save the rant for the larger system that treats people as disposable.

Thanks. You said what needed said. I find it intriguing that while we were at once repulsed at the thought of outsourcing simple shipping port operations to an off-shore concern, under fear of some unforeseen harm coming to the American people, we then retreat to our self-imposed (politically correct?) posture of supporting businesses putting the screws to the American worker. In view of the scorn your post elicited, may I suggest next time you feel inclined to vent in such manner you consider using a subject title such as "<SALES> My Country" Bud .
