I have a friend that works for Experian and they are outsourcing all of their work to Costa Rica within 6 months. The employees were told that they would be getting a severance package and that if anyone notified the general public about this they would be fired. What does everyone think of that. Do we want costa rico residents to have information of our credit information. I know I personally do not.
This is just typical of america's corporate world trying to save a buck. What does everyone think of this. My friend has worked for Experian for about 10 years. :twisted:
I'm just fed up with all this stuff! :( (Thanks for letting me vent!)

These companies have to move their operations overseas because the public is demanding lower prices, and in order for them to still make profit, they have to decrease their costs.
If more people were willing to pay more for US made products, then there wouldn't be the huge run to overseas production. Yeah, I know that Experian doesn't produce, but Call Centers count too. People want the best service, but don't want to pay for it. People want things cheap, but labor in the US is not cheap in comparison with other countries.

But I do deplore the idea of our personal information (like SSN's, addresses, etc.) being shipped overseas by companies like Experian and CA's that use call centers in India. It's just asking for trouble! It's hard enough keeping your information from being stolen by crooks here in America, now we have to worry about International crooks having a go at it!
