My Job Has Been Offshored

My boss called a 9:30 meeting this morning (on his day off!) to tell me that due to cost-cutting, my job is being moved to Romania.

Effective February 28, 2018, I will no longer be an employee of Lenovo.

If anyone needs a Senior, Lead, or Principal Technical Writer (or knows of someone who does), please let me know ASAP. I have my resume and writing samples online.

This sucks. I hope you find something quickly and you have a good severance package.


I guess they have not figured out that outsourcing means much lower quality work.

From the way they've been going I doubt anyone would have the wherewithall to notice the drop in quality (or care about it if they did)

I imagine they'll find out when their customers start shouting at them.

This must feel horribly worrying, but also a tremendous relief, the way things have been?

By which point they'll have shot themselves in the foot.

Bugger!

I hope you find something new soon and you get a good pay-off.
