Well don’t look now but all of the
Corporate American
Management Teams across the
United States of
America have decided at least
20 years
ago that
outsourcing
the
Design, Development
and Manufacturing of their Product Lines
is better
for the U.S. Citizens that previously performed
the professional career responsibilities, the craftsmanship
and manufacturing Quality!
Just think back
to the late
1980s
and into the
1990s
how management touted how important it was to obtain
a
MBA and
how
Y-O-U
could help solve the corporation's problems. In
2001 & 2002
I was involved with a big reverse engineering project
build at a Major Corporation while other department
managers were claiming how wonderful their engineers
and production staff were working together
but the
upper (Greedy) echelon had decided to
outsource
the product lines to help save money. The employees
were informed that there would be some furloughed
personnel. There sure was, all three shifts of engineers,
technical supporting staff and naturally the factory
production people. The
only people
that remained were the managers without employees.
Good Oi' Corporation was furloughing personnel
at an alarming rate and the people left were dumped
with two to four other personnel responsibilities
besides their own. If you couldn't keep up with
your new and your own responsibilities, your management
wouldn't help you succeed, no they would find a
way to relieve you of your responsibilities even
if it broke the corporations own Code Of Ethics
and out you would go!
Engineering personnel
and career responsibilities were being
outsourced
to
China, India,
Poland, Russia, Japan, France, Spain, Brazil, U.K.,
Ireland, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Israel & Canada
just to name a few countries and our own
U.S. Citizens
kept being forced out the doors! This corporation
wanted to shut down a few facilities in
India but
were rudely awaken that the
Indian Government
didn't have a
"Good
Sense of Humor" for that baloney so the
Indian Government
nationalized the corporation’s facilities. Another
miscalculation by the inept Corporate Expert
MBAs.
In
1998
there were
150,000
full time employees worldwide, today there are
67,000 with
2/3rds living
and working outside the
U.S.A. non-citizens.
Made In the U.S.A.
means nothing to our industries or our own
U.S. Federal Government
and this concept has happened at
I.B.M., other
major corporations and at numerous
Defense contractors
across the
United
States of America. In fact you better pray
that the U.S. Federal Government doesn’t involve
us in another War with
Japan because
Northrup-Grumman has their Military aircraft manufactured
there.
The latest news this Major Corporation
has been tagged with, is "A Chinese Female Spy Caught
with Corporation Top Secret Software Files" regarding
the "Worldwide Public Safety Markets and Our own
U.S. DoD Secret Files at O'Hare International Airport!"
Again, the
"Corporate
American Management 'Expert' Team MBA Members"
were caught with their pants down. None of those
Executives have a
Clue regarding
what the Communist Red Chinese will do to get at
our secrets. Long ago I heard the Communist Red
Chinese workers work and help their Government
first and
every
U.S.
corporation secondly. Ah Yes, "It's going to come
back and place a
huge bite in the United States of America.
Here’s something to really think about,
in the spring of
2004, our Executive Branch, the Congress
and the Senate colabrated with Industry and quietly
Passed a
Department Of Labor
Law raising the bar for all U.S. Citizens
to manadorily have 4-Year College or University
Degree to be employed in industry or government.
The Department Of Labor abolished people having
non-degree job titles or exempt pay grades going
forward, even though those personnel knew the career
positions and could perform the responsibility as
good if not better in some cases.
Now if
you are sitting out there with up to 1 credit hour
short of a 4-Year degree performing Engineering
work or otherwise, you’re now considered a technician
pay grade. If you have an Associate Degree which
now is equivalent to graduating from High School,
you’re also considered to be a technician pay grade.
Say you attended a Vocational School for 1 year
or longer, graduated with a Diploma you are working
as a non-degree Engineer performing the same responsibilities
that your engineering peers are performing, you’re
no longer considered to be anything better than
a High School graduate and will be removed from
the career and company you devoted your life too.
Industry considers you’re an instant
I-D-I-O-T!
Now for you people that possess a
BSEE or a
BSME or whatever
your major was in, Industry with the help of our
Government has provided you with an advance step
backward. Instead of utilizing your knowledge, the
Upper Echelon has decided that you now need your
Masters Degree
plus a
State P.E.
Certification before you can Design anything
for the “said” corporation that employs you. Here’s
the “Catch 22” on the State P.E. Certification.
You must work in your design field for two (2) years
minimum before being allowed to take the
State Professional
Engineering Certification Test and a
Passing Grade
but you
cannot
work as a Corporation Designer till you possess
the State P.E. Certification and a Masters Degree
in your discipline. Industry and Government have
you people stuck between a Rock and a Hard Place.
Since our Middle-Class Americans are being
dissolved and our Pay Scales are dropping, “Who’s
Going To Finance the Federal Government’s Budgets?”
