Or, the IT workers need to transition to jobs that require customer interaction, as a foreign employee is unable to do that.
As in, "Would you like fries with that burger?" or "Welcome to Walmart."
We shouldn't be surprised then if more and more people just vote to take someone else's money if that's their only opportunity.
Interesting point and I agree with you. However, automation is starting to take even those traditional service jobs away. Banks without bricks. Restaurants with order/payment tablets at the table. Doctor's offices without clerks. Even the job I retired from as a financial analyst has been replaced by a series of algorithms. There simply are not enough jobs at Walmart to accommodate everybody. I have no solution to address this brave new economic world.
I don’t know about that. I’ve called for customer service with several companies and sometimes I could not understand anything the person said because of such a heavy accent.
Wrong My job just got offshored and I am a customer facing PM for data center moves/consolidations and storage installations. For years I thought I was safe.. not so much.
