Reply #3: Umm, I think I'm confused [View All]

Many of the companies listed have offices/plants all over the world, Ford Motor has an enormous manufacturing plant in England and Bear Stearns is a huge securities firm that has had offices all over the world for decades, ditto American Express. While I'm concerned about these companies moving more of their operations overseas and laying off more American workers, I am really incensed about the companies that have moved almost all of their operations offshore. After a recent go around with a Dell Computer tech - based in India and barely fluent in English - I will never buy Dell again. Dell supposedly was going to move everything back to the U.S., but I don't think they have. Maybe the list could be refined/pruned so it would be easier to determine which companies have recently (since 2000 maybe)laid off/outsourced their workforce?
