The new CEO of Microsoft just announced the laying off of 18,000 workers.
We built India up by offshoring our well paying jobs.
Who's "we"? Offshoring has been a staffing decision made by private companies in response to economic conditions, as is their right. "We" have nothing to say about it unless we happen to have voting shares in these companies.
She is now in the process of stabbing us in the back.
Most of the 18,000 workers to be laid off are employees of Nokia, a Finland-based maker of mobile phones which Microsoft recently acquired.
So India would actually be stabbing Finland in the back. That's if India really had anything to do with Microsoft's executive decisions.

“We” is any American in IT who got the shaft by a company giving the job to someone in India.

She is not only stabbing us in the back by taking each and every job she can possibly take, but more so by not only identifying herself with America’s most threatening enemies in the world at present — the BRICS.
The BRICS are now actively working to replace the USD as the world’s reserve currency and has signed up with the BRICS ‘currency.’
