We should consider this type of outsourcing in context.

These investments are such peanuts compared to how much these giants invest in their R&D and their overall business.

The issue of transferring jobs overseas is a red herring because these type of R&D jobs are anyway held by immigrants to the US.

When you consider how much capital investment is made by foreign countries in the US (Honda, Toyota, etc....), these investments outside US are further dwarfed.

Indian kids can beat up our kids. They're playing by the rules and winning. Props to them.

I agree with you 100%, but I will still make a note not to do business with Chase. I'd be worried about privacy.

Riiiighttttt!!! Just peanuts. And all R&D jobs are filled by illegal aliens from Mexico.

Justifying is one thing - outright trashing of anyone's common sense is quite another. Don't bother.

I agree with you 100%, but some of the outsourced IT people are getting an attitude with their dominance (which is not unexpected). Long story short, I needed to reset a password for access to an HP account, and it took over 40 minutes. They acted like I was doing something wrong when entering the password only to discover my account was disabled and reactivated 3 months earlier. Granted, it is a small and meaningless anecdote.... but it may foreshadow things to come in the rush to outsource anything and everything!
