Work-At-Home Crowd: Tone Deaf To The Rest Of Us. | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 77129501 United States 10/18/2020 12:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Absolutely! The sheer amount of jobs outsourced to Bulgaria from the USA and UK (and many other countries) is staggering - from coders through PAs to telemedicine. "Ability to work night shifts" (because of the 8-hour time difference with the US) is the new buzzword. Quoting: Enigmatta But can they speak, understand, and be understood when they speak? [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] 3 seconds This is why the sell socialism to our kids. It makes outsourcing easier, not hard. We are doing it for the 'glory of the state'. |

Leftists tend to work for big media or government or any job paid by taxpayers so they tend to be recession proof and covid proof. Because of that they are just fine with the globalist scamdemic going on forever and social distancing and shutting down the economy because they are not the ones being hurt by all this. They get paid no matter what and are not the ones trying to figure out how to pay their bills since they don't own a private business that's been arbitrarily shut down by the government nor do they do any work that has to be done on site. They can stay home forever writing shit articles on their apple laptops for the New York Times about how we are all in this together and to wear your mask and go bankrupt for the greater good while these leftists sit pretty in their over priced apartments in some trendy neighborhood. |

I have to tolerate, I need the class by spring. Well, I went and stuck my foot in my mouth and told her fuckin' idiot husband who butted in on our Zoom conversation that some of us who live on Planet Earth don't have the luxury of working from home. Quoting: SpacePiratePorthos His response and this sums up educators: You should have made better life choices. I shit you not. Sort of a version of liberal Nancy Pelosi and her "let them eat ice cream" attitude. Or her strength in tearing up paper at a State of the Union speech. Everyone is getting a daily lesson in the true, dark, mean-hearted nature of the left. Some of the greediest, most conniving, most non-empathetic people around are the so-called Limousine-Liberal left. Compassion requires honesty, common sense, integrity and ethics in order to exist and thrive. Liberals generally lack those four crucial traits. |

All of these jobs were those I did at home. So, yeah, work at home jobs can absolutely be outsourced, and are. Gonna have to second this one. I was a radiology transcriptionist for many years. My hospital sold the whole department to a national company that outsources to India. The reports became unreadable, contradictory, and inaccurate. Fortunately, the radiologists who contracted to the hospital hired me on the spot and I spent the last ten years working at home as a valued employee of a small local company. I'm retired now, thank God. Twenty years ago, you could make a damn good living transcribing at home. Now it's not only a dying profession, but it pays peanuts. Peanuts cost too much, though, so most places are going to voice recognition, which is far less accurate than Indian transcriptionists. More deplorable all the time. |

Think as you wish. People pay me for what I know and offer from it. Not what I "do and build". By choice. When you sell of yourself nothing other than time and labor, your situation will as an employee will never change. If you are good at anything you can consult for a fee. If not, then you simply aren't as good as you thought. You're not really showing much respect for the people who built the computers you're using, who work at the power plants who generate the electricity you're using, who keep the lines maintained, who work at the water plant keeping the water clean and flowing so you can make coffee in the morning, who ship all the boxes of computers to people who work at home so they can make a living at a desk while others are handling materials in a warehouse for them. Not to mention someone, somewhere, some mystery person you've never met and never will, sewed all the clothes you're wearing and someone runs all the machines that weave and knit the fabrics that went into your jacket and your hoodie your sweats. Someone does that work for you and you benefit from it and you feel superior to them because you have so much of value to offer, as you say. Try doing it without them, you need all of them, someone has to do that work and I'll tell you one thing, physical work that gets you out on job keeps you sharp and in shape. But the main thing is that we are living in a time when people are frustrated and need to vent - and so we are taking it out on each other and justifying our precarious existence by putting other people down - Things didn't used to be like this and GLP didn't used to be this way either.
