BPO Humor In USA

"The White House announced today that it is outsourcing the work of the president's Council of Economic Advisers to India," Orstein wrote in the Washington Post .

"Ramindar Prabhakesh, an economist who teaches Introductory Economics and Macroeconomics at Bangalore University, will take over as chairman. He will earn one-sixth the salary of his outsourced predecessor, N Gregory Mankiw."

Jacob Grier, a young humourist spoofing as a "staff writer" for The Hemingway Star got stuck into CNN Moneyline anchor Lou Dobbs, who has been running a virulent anti-outsourcing campaign.

CNN has "announced" that Lou Dobbs Tonight will now be called Lokesh Narayan Tonight and be broadcast from Mumbai, he wrote.

Offshoring woes: Laugh 'em off - The Times of India

When cartoonists get into the trade govt. usually starts taking things seriously. I have seen a spate of love/hate emails exchanged in the local JavaMug jobs user group. But that kind of ended in a getting down the tempers of people down and guiding them towards a possible solutions by various people and it was really interesting to see the development. The comment that I thought was best is:

A very simple change to the visa program would fix everything. Simply remove the requirement to have sponsorship from a specific employer. Currently, visa holders are unable to stand up for their rights, because if they're fired or if they quit, they loose the sponsor for their visa, and must either find a new job within 30 days or leave the country. Thus, they don't complain or quit. Believe me, visa holders want the same rights (and salaries) that you want.

Forget a cap on agency fees. This is what you should write your congressman about.

This rule of loosing the status with in 30 days after a H1B holder looses the job is basically giving too much control to the employers and shutting down the real voices of H1B holders.
