Delphi set to trim 150 tech jobs
 

Troy auto-parts firm to ship some work to India Auto-parts giant Delphi Corp. is shedding at least 150 well-paying technology jobs and will shift some of the work overseas to an Indian firm. The move is one step in the company's effort to pare down its 500-person information technology staff. Free Press story

That's a shame to see more jobs lost to overseas. The company I work for builds and supplies automation systems for Delphi and it's subsideraries. As a matter of fact I just got done working on a system for Delphi Chassis and Electrical last week. Although this doesn't directly affect my company or me since it has to do with their IT department it's still a shame to see the jobs lost.

Why are all the businesses going over sea's anyways? I know it's cheaper. But is that really their only reason for having people here lose their jobs? It just isn't very intelligent in my opinion... :(

I got new brake rotors for my Saturn a couple days ago.

My choices at the autoparts store were to get rotors from:

1. China, for $18 each or
2. US or Canada, for $38 each

thats why companies are shipping work to Asia - they can make the parts there, and ship them to the US for less than HALF the price we can do it for

(and if anyone is wondering which ones I bought, Im not ready to start driving a Chinese car, not yet :^)
