[QUOTE="lww18, post: 6497100, member: 51932"] So, I was just wondering what everyone thought about this: [url]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24068455/[/url] $4,500 a year equates to $2.34 an hour. Now, I worked for Hotels.com and then Expedia.com purchased Hotels.com....I use to work in customer service for hotels.com. I lost that job because they outsourced the phone calls to the Philippines and El Salvador. Now I am working for Expedia.com handling flight reservations working through the sabre system. My job entails getting phone calls from tier 1 agents FROM Cebu/Manila Philippines needing help trying to fix a problem one of them created...........I was just informed on Monday that this depart would be closing also and the calls would again be outsourced to the Philippines and El Salvador for "business reasons" Now, the email that was sent says management and HR will do anything to help us move within the company but the only department open for new hires is SALES which would be a definite drop in pay(more than $5 an hour) I guess this is a rant but really I guess I need to get a real education and find a job that would be hard - if not impossible - to outsource the work to a place where they pay the workers 1/5 what they pay in the US........thoughts?
