As someone affected directly by the layoffs, I can say a lot of what you read on here between all the spam is true. JK has been lying to us for years. "India is just for overflow work" is one story he told us. "India is just for Direct to Video" he told us. And while he said this he flew person after person here to Glendale for us to train, and some of my co-workers flew over there to train people making $10 or less and hour to do my job. Think about what that got us? Once again in Corporate America we listened to a lying, 2-faced money grabbing Exec who will sell out American jobs faster than you can open a sweatshop in Shanghai so he can add another .20 to the bottom line in the company P&E report for the quarter. And we have no one to blame but ourselves. #1 for listening and believing what Corporate Shills like Jeffrey Katzenberg told us, while he was actively figuring out how to put our jobs in 3rd world countries as fast as possible. And #2 for us and our co-workers who actively TRAINED the people in those third world countries to take our jobs. 5 years from now when the people coming out of film school with 100K in student debt are looking for those "great" VFX Jobs they heard about only to find out they've all been sent to India and China they have US to thank. They have the people who willingly went over to live in gated communities in India with a Driver and a Maid to make short-term gains while giving away our Industry to thank. So yeah, there is blame to go around on all sides. The execs who lied to us, and those of us who went along with it. It's too late now, but the next time your employer asks you to "train" someone Cross-site, tell them you're not in that business. You're an artist and a technician. If they want you to train your replacement tell them where to shove it.
