[quote:Anonymous Coward 73613959:MV80MTY1NzI3Xzc1NzAwNDY2XzE5RkE0MDg=] These outsourcers typically over commit and under deliver. The only people who can possibly pick up the slack are the employees who are losing their jobs. Seen a few times where these folks were hired back at an hourly wage (a really good one) temporarily. My advice is if they offer you a package take it and run. It will be a mess any way it goes once they pull the trigger and smart people leave. I would not come back as an hourly contractor unless you have no alternatives. [/quote]

Not that I blame them. So many deadbeats in their IT dept, just collecting a check. Right now we're pulling information for quotes. All we keep hearing is:
'nobody is going to lose their job'
'what you do may change'
'this is going to free you up to do important work'
I sat long and hard and thought about it and came up with a few thoughts, nobody was going to lose their job why would they outsource. Whats the point. They're just gonna keep paying people for redundancy. I would they justify salary of 3 senior network engineers when they outsourced the network management. Does this mean they'll offer people lower paying jobs within the company.
Even if I was one of the 'lucky' ones what type of advancement opportunities would there actually be. If the department lost 90% of its people then management within the department just got 1000x more competitive.
Just sucks because nobody is worried. Its like they're all in denial and they want to believe. Sometimes i wish I was an idiot. Thanks for letting me rant GLP brethren.
