Home Depot Lays Off Jobs and Moves Them Overseas
October 27, 2011 Economy, Home & Garden, TheBuzz
So it’s out… Home Depot an American made company, who’s success is the main result of American consumers… Is outsourcing jobs to another country like India to replace people they will lay off in the corporate headquarters in Vinnings, GA quoting what one executive posted as a testimonial on the outsourcing company in India “Really what I was looking for was the same thing at less cost.”
I find that so aggravating, Maybe there will come a day when that executive job will be outsourced to a kid in China with a china built macbook pro!
Maybe it’s just my opinion, but I am sickened by these huge US corporate companies who are only huge and successful because of the United States consumers and then they turn around like this and just add to the problems and the high unemployment rate. I myself after learning this news will absolutely refrain from buying one single item from Home Depot, I would rather pay an extra dollar at another competitor or mom and pop shop now. Why should I give my hard earned dollars to a company who is greedy and shipping jobs over seas. Just like with Apple, when I found out Steve Jobs died, I read more into Apple and learned how many jobs he authorized to ship off to China. I put my iphone on ebay and sold it. What would these companies do if all American boycotted their products and services because of outsourcing like Home Depot is doing, would they remain big corporate companies with deep pockets? absolutely not. This change is coming and any business that is behaving badly like this, it will come back to haunt you. So if you feel as I do and I am sure many others after knowing this will you continue to buy products and services from Home Depot? Leave your comments.

YUP! No more buying from this crappy greedy company, buy usa only products and watch the economy return!!
I currently work in IT at another company. We are being outsourced at an alarming rate. Believe me our unwashed brethren DO NOT do the job better than we do. Quite the contrary. The only thing they do is demand a much cheaper wage. This country has gone to hell in a hand basket.
