Another good line(s), not sure which is worse: bankers handling my money or lawyers who think they are bankers?

"We have lawyers looking for a banker position, people from high tech looking for a banker position, so it's very competitive,"

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I'm being "outsourced" at some point (we don't know exactly when yet), AND they want us to train the people taking our jobs away!!!!
I refuse to go quietly and I'm now targeted as being part of the problem and not the solution.

Just take a big Serenity Now pill and don't mess up your Severance package.

Sucks having to do it but...its best to go quietly

I read a story that said any job that is a series of rote tasks is in serous danger of being outsourced to someone willing to work for less or made obsolete by technology.
The more your personal creativity, sales, or management ability makes you uniquely qualified - the more secure your position is.

It's not easy Kev, but I'm trying my best. My wife is out of work now so that's my incentive.

As good as that sounds, it wouldn't have much of an effect on the company I work for.
I'm not that valuable.
