John,

 

Many companies consider outsourcing so they can survive in a very
competitive market.  Not because of a ""big desk" person overhears
"tongue in cheek" remarks".  They need to outsource or there won't be a
company left and then you are talking a lot more job loss than just an
IT department. 

 

"... just my $.02 ... from someone who doesn't even outsource to local 

independent contractors."

 

That is ridiculous!  If you have a customer or potential customer that
needs something done and you don't have the staff to do it and you can
keep the customer happy while making a few bucks, why the hell would you
not "outsource" to local independent contractors?

 

Someone also suffering from outsourcing but understands that sometimes
it needs to be done,

People wonder why companies consider outsourcing ... after a "big desk" 

person overhears "tongue in cheek" remarks like those at the coffee pot
or 

walking down the hall, it can trigger an impression that too often leads
to 

considering an outsourcing decision that might otherwise have been 

ignored.  I have listened to many CEO's of companies describe their IT 

staff as spoiled, mercenaries, and not in sync with corporate 

direction.  Those are the sentiments that open the door to an
outsourcing 

discussion ...

 

... just my $.02 ... from someone who doesn't even outsource to local 

independent contractors.
