The Disadvantages of Outsourcing Jobs for Employers
Americans especially cannot stomach the idea of large businesses relocating their American made business off American soil and onto foreign lands. Americans frown on big businesses that decide to open a new business or move an existing business off American land simply because there are millions of Americans losing their jobs due to companies outsourcing. There are Americans that are willing to do whatever it takes to land a good job.
One thing that just absolutely floors most Americans about outsourcing is that it can (and it will) affect everybody in the long run. The language barrier has caused more issues than anything else. Miscommunication has made little mistakes into big ones. Management has a hard time communicating and understanding with their employees as well do consumers. Especially in Customer Support Centers where employees are engaged with customers on a regular basis, sales will show a gradual decrease.
Long ago, when blue collar jobs were being outsourced to other countries where their economy was much weaker than the United States. American blue collar workers were having a hard time trying to find new ones, while white collar jobs and workers were safe from being outsourced - well, for a little while anyway.
Experienced white collar workers were soon in the same hot seat as the blue collar workers. White collar jobs are now being outsourced to countries like China, Mexico and even India. Nobody is safe from outsourcing, not even those who are doing the outsourcing.
Employers who have come to the decision to outsource jobs may feel like it's a good choice at the time, but eventually, everything will fall apart. When you outsource jobs halfway across the planet, how can you monitor the productivity of your employees without actually being there? Simple, you can't. Companies are putting their trust in someone or in people they don't know. But maybe these large businesses don't trust these strange foreigners, but as long as they produce the numbers that's expected of them, everything is fine. That is, until everything isn't fine.
What happens when big businesses outsource jobs out of America? Well, that is easy; you do not get the exceptional, quality work you would expect from an American company. Yes, outsourcing does save lots of money, but in the long run, everybody suffers - everybody. The company suffers from the loss of sales; American workers suffer because the loss of jobs, and eventually, the country who took the outsourced job will get comfortable living a certain lifestyle only to have it taken away when the company decides to pull out of that country. Now, they find themselves in the same unfortunate position as the American blue and white collar workers.
There are a lot of stories out there and on the website Madeinta.com that signify that outsourcing is a terrible idea. Outsourcing jobs out of America DOES NOT work. Not for the American worker, not for the cheapskates who hire them and not for the country who accepts the job. Keep American jobs in America.
