Outsourcing of jobs an unnecessary act?
By Wasi Siddiqui

In the worst economic condition, where lots of businesses go into loss and declares bankrupt many organizations lay off the work force, which indeed due to no business at all but this hit the employees hardest, in terms of job loss, it is always hard to find another job and specially when someone has a big family to support.

But the practice of outsourcing the jobs in different countries like India and China is like bringing more disaster to own people who are losing their jobs unnecessary and going into dire financial conditions. The latest victims of such outsourcing for jobs were the 280 employees of RBC, who were told that their jobs are gone to India. Although, according to spoke person of Royal Bank said “ we are very excellent in placing these people with jobs”. One can only hope that 280 people will be able to find work again within RBC.

Canada is the country known for opportunities and a place for growth, that is the reason why many immigrants are now settling and calling Canada their new home, but why is that immigrants are being encourage to come to Canada, when jobs are being going to other countries, it is totally unacceptable and highly condemnable action of any business in Canada.

It is always said that money is the most that matters, and yes of course it is, but those businesses who wants to turn their $100.00 bill into $100,000.00 should also know, that they should share the joy together with their employees and not alone. There are many employees who are shared their saving by investing in company shares and that helps companies to run efficiently as well, then why the jobs are being sent abroad, when local people can do the job better and more efficiently.

It is time to compensate the innocent employees, who lost their jobs in matter of minutes, go into desperation, depression and agony and pain, while these so-called businessmen makes the money and walks away just like a tissue used and then throw into garbage. They don’t realize what will become of some many employees, who lost jobs, how they will pay their mortgages, rent and feed their families.

It won’t be a surprise, that one morning the TTC employees will wake up to find out that there are no more required to drive buses due to outsourcing of jobs, and TTC buses and trains are running with remote control and GPS system in India.

It is an appeal to Prime Minister, Premier Dalton McGuinty, and MPs and MPPs, to make a law to ban the practice of outsourcing of jobs from Canada to other countries and keep Canadians heritage alive of Canada being the best place to work and live.

God Bless Canada!!!

i agree with the writter 100%.money should not be the only and only aim though practically it is very
difficult.out sourcing has incresed immensly in the last 10 years.india and china is like paradise for out sourcing.and it is because of opticfibre cables,technalogical advancments,cheap labore and the will of the people to have a better life by earning good money.
thomas l friedman in his book the world is flat has termed outsourcing a flatner.out sourcing helped flatening the world.
you were right when u said that: It won’t be a surprise, that one morning the TTC employees will wake up to find out that there are no more required to drive buses due to outsourcing of jobs, and TTC buses and trains are running with remote control and GPS system in India.:
so one needs to be special,specialized or adoptable for his/her servival

well in that aspect u may say that outsourcing flatening it .... but outsourcing is not the relacement of proper 9-5 office job neither its taking its palce .... the main reasons, that it increased immensly and employer n employee r preferring it or getting into it, are Cheaper Rates, Having greater numbers of Creative Minds and Cut down office expenses at employer end while More opportunities to work n earn more, Flexibility of time and schedule (that one can do it besides a proper office job) and Physical relaxation at employee end.

If it would reduce (though its too far to think abt it at the moment) employment in transport deptt. it would boost up employment in so many other way ... but again I would say that the idea of outsourcing hasn't come up for the reason to let people stay home n work from there ...rather its a way to help umployment or to earn more money.

I myself being outsourced ... and there r different plus points which r cause of this outsourcing ..like;

1. I wasn't doing anything like 9-5 job neither am interested in doing so ... that go out ... daily hectic routine ... traffic chaos ... tension .... n earn. I am quite satisfied and earning good money while sitting at home through this cyber world and without letting myself tired like hell.

2. If I would work out, I would have limited market of my talent and scale to work for ... now through internet I work for a Canada based company as well as outsourced by a UAE based company ... apart from that I can get into some more international stuff if I would dig it out or would want to do more.

3. If the company would only rely on its registered employees, it would have to think abt expansion (both employee wise and material and space wise) if they would want to have more and more clients for them ... while outsourcing ppl helping them to get into any venture without worring abt their existing figures (human n materials).

and so on.

Everything has some drawbacks but we need to see whether plus points r greater or minus points ... and I guess Outsourcing has good plus points thats why it is increasing day by day since population increasing ... since technology advancing and since task to be done boosting.

i agree.it has its drawbacks and plus points but the writter talked about the people living in a country where business people outsource work to other countries and in that process many loose jobs.
and if we talk about it in terms of business so yeah sure every one want to have his work done efficently,competently and with low cost.low cost being the primary objective.
there is an airline in usa.they hired many housewives who while setting at home can do the reservation work.ab tu aisa be hota hy k compnay uk ki hogi or jab app call centre per call karo gy for some help or assitant tu wo call india direct ho jati hy or waha per es compnay call centre or support centre establish kia hota hy.they then solve the problems of people who r in uk.waja ye hy k jitna kharcha uk main aik employee per hota hy os main india main 3 worker mil jatay hy.
i wud say there shud be out sourcing but whitin the country

[AQN]

yup ... in this scenario, there wud be unemployment ... or may be we can call it advancement : ) ... technology era n all that ki if we can reduce our expenses as an employer than why bother to spend more. Anything which hits the world measures at a broader scale so we can't measure outsourcing just with a view of those ppl who can work in so and so offices if company won't outsource.

thats why i said that its about money now if i get a business and i can find people who can work for me
and it helps me to reduce my xpenses then sure am gonna go for it provided that i get my work done on time,effectivly.
in my area there is no dsl.we use dial up jis per 5 min main aik website open hoti hy.i dont know if we wud be able to be first choice for out sourcing?jab tak high speed internet nahe hoga tab tak tu out sourcing muhskil hy.
any ways glad to know k yaha be log hy who were considered for out sourcing

yup ..true ... there r few things here in Pk or Khi which must affect virtual work ... like bad net connections n extreme loadshedding ....
