I don't know if this is your intention, but it is petty to blame someone, who is seeking legal employment, of conspiring to take away your jobs. The decision to use labor arbitrage was taken by managements in developed economies. The workers didn't position themselves in a way that created the arbitrage. It's silly, to say the least, when your reaction is "what did you expect would happen, when you decided to steal american/british/whatever jobs". This is just the way the world is right now. The Indian IT labor market is only just catching up to the global reality.

Are you sure you're replying to the right comment? Or was the thread poster's comment edited? Your comment seems to add a little context that isn't there.

  Many young people who get into IT here don't come in their first day thinking of the big picture, ie this is an outsourced position. For them it's just a job. So it's not odd for them to think their job has been further reduced. Though it may be the logical thing to think for someone who has all the context. Also, English not being my native language, I had trouble understanding the tone of OP's comment.

That's fine, but if the roles were reversed, there would be the same outrage, if not more, and it's not petty. It's serious business.

It didn't read to me like the parent was blaming anyone; just stating that this should come as no surprise. Management outsourced jobs to India to cut costs; if they find a way to cut costs cheaper than outsourcing to India then that is what management will do.

> but it is petty to blame someone, who is seeking legal employment, of conspiring to take away your jobs. Agreed. That's why I didn't do that. In fact I very deliberately did not do that. > your reaction is "...when you decided to steal american/british/whatever jobs". I didn't do that either. Also very deliberately. Did you accidentally respond to me and not somebody else? Otherwise it seems you're simply trying to create controversy.
