Today, I tendered my resignation with my consulting firm. I had a bunch of excellent reasons for doing this, but the process has been accelerated over the last couple of weeks primarily because of this offshore outsourcing issue. See, a couple of weeks ago, I received an email from our CEO stating that the company will be lobbying the government in support of offshore outsourcing. If you've been following my posts, you already know that this has led me on a campaign to better understand the issues surrounding outsourcing. Well, I've come to the realization that my previous firm is interested in only one thing, and that one thing has nothing to do with my long-term professional career. I wish I could issue the following press release:
Large Consulting Firm Loses Local Software Engineer Because of Offshore Outsourcing
NORFOLK, Virginia.- March -17th 2004 - Fearing for his long term career, a local software engineer today quit his consulting job with a large, multi-national software engineering firm. “I just couldn't give another dime to help fund the loss of US jobs overseas“ said the engineer. An anonymous spokesman for the large corporation declined to comment.
UPDATE: I need to clairify something. Although I did quit my job at ___ today, and yes, the offshore thing pushed me in the direction, I have been thinking about leaving for about a year, for completely selfish reasons. I'm not a martyr for the cause or anything like that. And believe me, I didn't quit without first lining up something else! Sorry if I misled anyone.. |
