I'm not saying that the Indian's are inherently crap but when they offshore'd some of the software at my old place, it was taking 3 months to get an URGENT patch back usually it was 6 months wait for a fix.
But at the end of the day the govenment has to support it because its such a big plus to business (who then pay there taxes here) the joke in this case is the upskilling that's being talked about!
I think you'll find most companies would rather not spend much money on those who are to be 'let go'. Even when you stay in the same company. They're more likely to look at your skills and try to fit you in with your current skill instead of saying we have X jobs for skilled bobbins fitters, does anyone want to be trained up to do it rather than leave ? This has certinaly been the case when I've been through redundancies (admitedly not to outsourcing...Yet)
