I'm with the hotel here. It's not like they're outsourcing the jobs to India. They just found local people who will do it cheaper. -- nm - Ender Sep 23, 11:18 10
- So it's morally OK for companies to fire everyone just to improve the bottom line? - CovingtonCat Sep 23, 11:23 3
  - It's called business. If my department's job can be done just as well by somebody else for half the cost you can be damn sure we'd be outsourced. - Ender Sep 23, 11:27
  - Who said anything about being morally ok? -- nm - Jim Sep 23, 11:24 1
    - I think Hyatt had a moral obligation to work with the housekeepers to try and keep any who wanted to stay. - CovingtonCat Sep 23, 11:32
- I'm not thrilled with the manner in which they did it...but I'm with you. -- nm - Jim Sep 23, 11:23
- Okay. But to have them train them the replacements was pretty scummy. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 23, 11:20 1
  - Bah, knowledge transfer's just standard procedure whenever an outside contractor takes over anything. -- nm - Ender Sep 23, 11:22
- though if they would had outsourced to India, I'd be greatly interested in the technology that allows them to do that -- nm - crash davis Sep 23, 11:19 2
  - Robo-maids operated using virtual reality technology. -- nm - Ender Sep 23, 11:21 1
    - dang, I was hoping for teleportation portals -- nm - crash davis Sep 23, 11:22
