Ok.. that title may not make a big impact on you if you are not very word savvy, language addicted, voracious reader or a vocabulary fanatic. But somehow, somewhere I bet you will know the underlying meaning of that phrase. Let me give you another try – ever heard of the phrase “receiving the pink slip”?
Aha! So you do know the meaning!
In today’s day and age individuals are not part of a local labor pool anymore. In fact, they are not even part of a national labor pool. Everyone today, is part of an international labor pool. One of my friend’s 12yr old son in the US is getting Math coaching for $2.00/hr by someone online… someone who resides outside of the US. Manufacturing is going to China, customer service is going to India. Just the other day, I dialed a local number to contact my bank. Now this bank, is across the street from my apartment. The contact number was local – with a local area dialing code. When the call was answered on the other end someone by the name of “Stacey” spoke in what sounded like a South-Indian accent! After a little bit of friendly digging, found out that the call was received in India!!
