American employees are too expensive I guess. I worked in Live Chat for 12 years. We assumed that this department could never be offshored, it *needs* to be done by someone who is especially fluent in English, and we were wrong. I foolishly accepted a position in the Ratings Integrity department (hoping that job would be safe), instead of the offered severance package, and three years later THAT position has been offshored too. This time though, no severance package.
I have instead been shoved into, full stop, THE MOST complicated job the company has short of some sort of coding position. The only accommodation I've been offered is a few extra weeks to try and reach the *aggressive* time/productivity requirements for the position. I don't think I have long before I get canned because of it.
The company is also *constantly* launching some sort of half-baked patch, update, app, initiative, etc. It then takes weeks or years, if ever at all, before they work out all the bugs. They try to shrug it off, chuckle, and act like this is normal. I don't know if the company just lacks competent people, doesn't give them enough time to do a thorough job, or some mix in-between. It gets real old though.
