Hahaha! It's fun to see you hyperventilate. So, you admit to posting here just to rile up people because that's your main form of recreation. There's a word for posters who do that.

There is no such industry.

Every industry claims to have a "shortage of qualified workers." Because they want more people to try and become qualified, so that they have a larger applicant pool to choose from.
One also has to keep in mind that the pools are different from state to state. Thus if they can't get people to move to another state, then outsourcing pretty much kicks in.

Not uptight a bit... but how is one to tell the sarcasm from the b.s. in here? There's so much of it

It's a natural extension. Specifically about immigration. No immigration, no immigrants.

Incentives to keep jobs here. Lower the tax rate for companies here. Tax companies that deliver the "goods" here but use workers overseas.

Now, lets make the distinction between for profit corporate enterprises and non profit public institutions like UCSF.

If the public sector is forced to outsource , then we need to review fast what on earth are we doing wrong and make efforts to fix it.

Magic wand? Doesn't like IT people? He said that?

If he does try to do something about it will YOU back him?

The guy's a business man. They actually try to get things done. That's the only way one can succeed unless you're ensconced in the political machine.

When they fail, they try something else because they go out of business if they do nothing.

That's how it works in real life

Politicians can't relate to that. Their bad ideas and failures stay foisted upon us for years and years.

Anyone who works in IT knows that as technology advances, then less IT people will be needed to support it. Since they were let go before the end of the school year, I'd guess the new technology came in and this group of people were unable to support it and were too expensive for the support it actually needed. Probably only needed telecommuters.

Are you conflating telecommuting with lower skilled IT? If so that is just incorrect.

Yep. Why can't the jobs be done by UCSF students (undergrad or grad, whichever can do the job) in a work/study or internship program that either pays or offsets tuition?
