To “realamerican” – I can understand your frustration, there are many jobs leaving the u.s., and the causal relationship has to do with corporations paying dirt wages to workers eslewhere, along with their unwillingness to pay for health insurance. But why put that much presumption out onto McGee’s shoulders, why not just ask him why China. Really, I would hope the only “given” in this is only that the administration currently in power is doing everything to put NAFTA on steroids and discredit a health care intiiative that would actually help the working man and woman here, and that is frustrating. Equally frustrating, however, is the response to entirely invalidate what your response.
One presumptuous invalidation after another condescending invalidation even more myopic in scope — two wrongs don’t make a right. There are certainly some valid compelling factors which would have brought Mr. McGee to the decision in basing his company in china. Perhaps if either you or Mr. Strozykosk would just have asked, rather than have presumed, you’d have received a response a tad more enlightening, from the source. other than that of Mr. Strozykosk

I don’t disqualify your remark “realamerican” — your frustration is understandable, but probably not very well placed here. Mr. S’s claiming himself to be worldly, though, is ovviously not well placed, either, and adds insult to injury.

Anyway, I would think only Mr. McGee would be the one qualified to explain why China.

so, hey, why China?

[...] American McGee is looking for a few dark, twisted types to join his new independent studio in Shanghai, as he prepares to ride the wave of two contemporary trends in the gaming industry: episodic content and Chinese food. [...]

Anyone else wondering how the team selection thing is going? The sooner a team is essembled, the sooner the new game can be made. Man, I hope I get a job offer.

By the way, when a company is opened in another country it doesn’t mean that country is stealing jobs from America. Basically, the world doesn’t revolve around America.

It’s not about moving jobs out of America. You have to think on a grander scale. We are all humans, and we’re all in this together. We need to make sure there are jobs everywhere in the world for knowledge workers, cutting down on poverty as a whole, and raising the amount of knowledgable people in the world. I would much rather see someone in India go through school, become knowledgable, contribute to the world and human knowledge, and work in a job that could easily be held here in America. If that job were here, where would that Indian person be?

We need to expand human knowledge as a whole, regardless of political boundaries. The world is flat, my friend, and unless you get with the program and accept that people in other countries can be just as qualified to do your job as you are, then you are going to get trampled on and left behind. Just because you are American does NOT mean that there is a job waiting for you out there.

If my company were to outsource to another country for its Information Services, I would not be bitter about losing my job. As long as there is someone in the world qualified to do the job, and he does it to the best of his ability, thinking of the company first, then that is all that matters. When you believe in a company, the people inside it are your family, and it’s not about whether they’re American, Indian, Chinese, Djiboutian; they’re HUMAN.

Anyway, sorry, I get heated sometimes when people don’t think about things logically, and see things on a narrow scale. Mod this comment down if you wish, but I just had to say that and get it off my chest.
