Linux tech support job

[R.R.]

I'm not referring to the exec's. It's the middle managers I was referring
to...Apologies if my post wasn't as clear as it should have been.

I love hearing about these hoity-toity companies/execs who think that
outsourcing IT staff is the "way to go" - Cut jobs, save money and make the
share holders happy - and then end up realizing that their "plan" didn't go
so well after all (i.e. Microsoft, Apple)

Get real.  Who do you think makes the decisions about what jobs have to go?

One place that I worked had to cut the salarty budget, so immediately
appointed 3 new SVPs to manage the process, and ended up firing all the
tech staff two months later.  I ended up buying a lot of nice equipment at
the fire-sale six months later when the company ran out of customers :-)
