Saving American tech writers from offshore threats?

Unless you work for a company that values quality as much as its bottom line, if you are in a sector that is seeing a lot of offshoring, brace yourself for impact. Still, hiring for reasons other than qualification certainly is not a recent phenomenon. Witness the hire of a former co-worker of mine, whose boss just wanted to get her away from him, so he could end their affair... and he thought she could easily become an html web weenie...

Someone is actually stepping up and telling the truth about the"chick-lit"industry.

At half a million dollars, no less. Likewise, who can blame offshore techies for wanting a piece of the action in the technical development arena? Not I, that's for certain. This podcast discusses the lure of fame and fortune at the hands of the Powers, and discusses who pays the ultimate price -- in Kaa...
