Want a job? IBM will hire you if you move to India!

with one comment

This is really pathetic.

Redefining the possibilities of the word “offshore,” IBM has invited its recently laid-off U.S. workers to find work with the storied company in developing countries like India – where salaries are a fraction of what Americans are used to.

While the invitation is likely more than most U.S. companies have offered the 2.6 million Americans laid off in 2008, the company’s standing offer is probably cold comfort to most newly minted ex-IBM employees.

An internal document circulating the company says that a program called “Project Match” will “help you locate potential job opportunities in growth markets where your skills are in demand,” according to InformationWeek.

I wonder how many other corporations will start doing this?
