A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

My cough is worse. I am certain Tommy has not be faking his cough. I hope this ends soon. I could not do a successful phone or in person interview right now to save my life. I run out of money this week and Sarah’s class trip is at the end of the week. This sucks!

Got up this morning at 5 when I heard Amy fall out of the bed. Could not pull myself out of bed to help her back into her bed or do anything else until 5:45 when she started crying. Got her in bed and got Sarah up then I went back to bed until 6:15 when I got Noah up and gave Tommy his medicine. Then I went back and blogged Friday and Saturday.

Now off to carpool.

Death to outsourcing! Outsourcing didn’t pay off for Conseco “Insurance firm may be at forefront of trend by bringing jobs moved to India back to U.S.”

Three years ago, when Conseco moved 800 jobs to India, its chief executive was clear that his pioneering outsourcing move was more than just cost-cutting.
These days, the insurer also may be a pioneer because it brought most of those jobs back to Indiana.
In 2001

CEO Gary Wendt says that buying India-based ExlServices will save Conseco up to $60 million a year and reduce turnover to less than 10 percent a year.
In 2002

With turnover in India at 200 percent and cost savings falling short, Wendt’s successor, William J. Shea, sells ExlServices at a $20 million loss.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve even outsourced a project to Russia with success but also with a quick learning about the negative sides. I look forward to my industry (software) maintaining its quality of work and employee salaries by keeping jobs here in the states.
