While reading the Sunday paper, I ran across an article about job outsourcing. An employee of Agilent Technologies of 25 years was laid off just 11 weeks short of being eligible for early retirement! The really sad part was that he had to train his replacement That's it, I'm not buying anything made by Agilent Technologies. I can understand cut backs, but not to give the guy some kind of retirement package after 25 years, now that's down right cold hearted! It reminds me of my father, same situation, lost his pension and benefits after 20+ years working for a company. Next time you buy something, ask where their tech support is based in, I bet it will be in India.
