[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1164487, member: 43436"] In a class I had last semester, we had a "guest speaker" (the husband of the professor) who is the founder/owner of a medium-sized global company. He talked about the challenges of USA-based companies doing business overseas; he said that in the USA, most companies had a 'move up or move on' policy and that the average Gen X/Y worker stays with his company only a brief time; in Europe & South America, once you had a job -- even at the management level -- it was thought to be a right to possess it for life. He wanted to expand operations in Sao Paulo, but said that US companies needed fresh ideas and innovation to keep them competitive, since they can't compete by cost. I didn't know this, but apparently workers in places such as India demand higher rates of pay from US companies. Still must be cheap, otherwise companies with poor reputations like Comcast would't be further increasing their call center presence in India. [/QUOTE]
