The company I worked for over many years is now laying off so many and shipping these same jobs to India, no doubt because it's cheaper. My friend who worked on the technical end (computer tech) who had worked there since 1973 (when he first got out of college) was one of the most recent layoffs. My other good friend still has her job no doubt because she works with American sports which those in India don't necessarily follow (she's been there since 1984) and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she's able to keep her job.
