outsouring

The reaction to outsourcing IT work a foreign country that turns out badly. For example, big global bank send its IT development work to India saving grazillions, but finds that the users can't get exactly like they want and don't have the developers at arm's length to beat up.

We're outsouring the application back to the US from India to get what we want.

marital outsourcing

Outsourcing is farming work out to an external entity that can do it cheaper or more effectively. Marital outsourcing is the same concept applied to marital relations. Numerous service providers are able to perform services on demand often more effectively and at a lower "total cost"

Mark: You ever calcualate how much us married guys pay on a per event basis?
David: Touche.

outsourcing

When a company hires another company to do some aspect of its work for it.

Examples of this include (but are not limited to):

* Stores using another companies cleaning services for cleaning its floors etc (rather then having employees of their own hired as full time cleaners).

* An ISP using a third party for its e-mail services rather then using servers of their own.

* A company in need of call centre services using a third person company rather then building a call centre of its own.

Companies often outsource to save money. However, it's also possible they want to concentrate on their main service and allow another company to worry about secondary ones (ie, companies whose main service are those secondary ones).

Outsourcing unfortunatly costs jobs domestically when companies outsource overseas. This is why people dislike it so much.

Poor guys unemployed because his employer outsourced his job overseas.

outsourcing

An easy method for corporations to maximize their profits and avoid the unions at the same time. Basically, it involves moving one's business to another part of the world where people will willingly under slavelike conditions and for 1/10 the pay of a Poverty-Class American worker.

See outsource and globalization for more definitions.

Outsourcing is creating a major economic boom, but piss-poor levels of domestic job growth because the Third World has all the employees the corporations need.

Oh, and the executives are pocketing the profits too.

Outsourcing

Corporate use of slave labor in third world countries ruled by dictators, for the express purpose of avoiding American taxes.

No wonder so many corporate executives are billionaires! If not for outsourcing and free trade, they would have to pay their fair share of taxes and end up mere millionaires!
