Outsourcing Of Drive-Thru Order Takers! (Seriously) | 28 comments (28 topical, 0 hidden)
The animators are probably outsourced ... (none / 0)
isn't the global economy wonderful?  They can't outsource my job; just do away with it through automation.  There goes my union job, and if I want to retrain so I can operate or maintain the robot that takes my job I'd have to take a 50% pay cut.

Yes, it's "wonderful" all right (none / 0)
It's a wonder anyone buys the bullshit that unfettered free trade is the way to go.

But you knew that.

There are a lot of examples of outsourcing (none / 0)
It wouldn't be fair to say that a possibility of animators being oustourced for two commercials and the drive through being outsourced for one restaurant chain is anything significant.

Sure, *now* it's ONE restaurant chain (none / 0)
But the point is that it's potentially a terrible sign of things to come.

Between outsourcing, insourcing and automation, the average worker is being triple teamed (or will be soon enough).
