Really? Dreamworkers here can be so naive as to suggest their layoffs are because jobs went to India?? I cant believe these are the same super smart and brilliant people we at DDU look upto and respect so much, till now. I hope this is just your frustration and anger speaking. I mean you really think a meager 250 odd artists at India could do this to the best talents in the US? Was your precious talent so easily dispensable in favor of 'button pushers' in a shitty country like India? You think I just walked into your 'best xx places to work in the world'-class studio, played kitten and stole back from you all your ten thousand dollars college fees worth knowledge and creativity? Somehow I find this very hard fathom.
The fact is I didnt steal YOUR job, its as much MY job as it is yours. I earned it. I work for a company, contribute to it to the best of my skills and get paid for it. Just like you do. I dont care if you think you are so much more talented than me, just like I dont care I get paid a pittance compared to you. We all get what we deserve. Company is exploiting cheap labor like me for its profit, so that great talents like you can have the grand buffet breakfast and dinners, fly back and forth from PDI to Glendale for company meets, get fat bonuses and hefty hikes, work strictly from 9-6 and drive around in fancy cars. Oh sure you guys deserve all the perks and champagne, only too sad the company couldn't afford it in-spite of India. IN-SPITE of India, not because of India.
Guess who invented capitalism? Who is the champion of Globalisation? Who preaches free market to the whole world?
You thought you would make a 400 million dollar movie that makes a box office collection of 600 millions, and just pocket a cool 200 million in profits. Oh wait, we can actually make it in only 200 millions courtesy the Indians. Wow, thats so much profit. Why do you need so much profit in the first place? Because thats the main objective of a BUSINESS. If you thought the company was there for some patriotic or artistic cause, I think you must've felt the kick on your mouth this week. Sadly, the American public didn't give a damn how many great talents would be jobless if they didnt watch our movie. But you cant blame the public, right ? So, who's left for the mob to lynch? Of course it has to be the FOREIGNERS who stole your cheese. I'm damn sure without DDU, the layoff percentage would have been 50 instead of the 20% you are angry about.
I dont want to quantify and compare the impact of this layoff on a DDU employee vs a DWA employee. I'm sure its equally painful for both because a man's responsibilities towards his family are at stake. I was sad for whats happening at DWA and know it will hit DDU in a few days. But reading this forum made me so sick that I had to vomit it out here. I apologize in advance to everyone who find my post insensitive or offensive because even I think so but I could not avoid writing it.
