10 ways outsourcing could ruin your life
http://www.smartmoney.com/spending/budgeting/10-ways-outsourcing-could-ruin-your-life/



As anyone who's tried calling their cable company knows, many U.S. firms have slashed costs by outsourcing things like customer service to India, the Philippines. But why stop there? Turns out, there's no limit to the sensitive tasks that companies are happily exporting to the Third World.

Whether it's a matter involving your health, education or finances, there's a good chance some lesser-paid worker thousands of miles away has been trusted with the outcome. To follow: ten jobs shipped offshore that you probably didn¹t really want to know about.
