Today's
Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Almanac page-a-day calendar tells that in 1989, GE
chairman Jack Welch went to Bangalore, India to meet a delegation of business
executives and India's prime minister Rajiv Ganhi. They discussed GE buying India software. Welch was more interested in India's cheap
labor force. In one year GE shifted some
of its labor force, the phone-based customer service to Bangalore. Other American companies followed, which
caused thousands of Americans to lose their jobs to a new word,
"Outsourcing".
Shame on General Electric and the companies that followed.
