I am a new member to this forum. Perhaps this is not the correct venue for this post. If it is not, please accept my apology.
I have noticed several postings that have eluded to the subject I wish to bring up. That is the off-shoring of our jobs to inexperienced consultants. I do not wish to offend anyone, but the primary source appears to be India.
I have 20+ years experience and 10+ in JDE. The trend I am seeing is we are training our replacements. We cannot compete with the minimum wages they are willing to accept. My husband is also in the business working for a large investment company. They control most of the 401K plans. This company has sent most of the IS to India where they also built a building for them. This is a company that controls our retirement plans and these plans are now being maintained in India. The incompetence of the programmers there is unbelievable. The smallest task must be defined into finite specifications requiring tremendous time for the programmer/analysts here. Rework is at a maximum, and results are non-existent. Still the practice continues.
Is there any forum that you are aware of addressing this issue? What are your thoughts on this situation? I do not believe I am alone in this perception, or am I?
Thank you for your time. Again I apologize if this is offensive or is an incorrect use of this forum. Jayce
