Reader: jobs in the Star-Telegram finance department are being outsourced to India (updated)

A reader says jobs in the finance department at the Star-Telegram are being outsourced to India:

A couple/few finance people at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram are due to receive severance packages at 10:15 today CDT due to outsourcing to India. What a nice thank-you for the hard work and training of others to take your job over the last two months. Thanks again to the two stooges. (Pruitt and Wortel)

Last November, the Kansas City Star sent 10 accounting jobs to India.

UPDATE: The S-T is delivering free newspapers to a reader:
I cancelled my FWST weeks ago, and its still being delivered. Maybe when I called India to cancel it, the message wasn't passed on to the USA. Either way - thanks for the free paper.

I found the trick to make them quit. Just tell them your real name is Achmed and if they keep throwing it, you'll be down there to discuss it personally. I didn't even have to throw in a complimentary Allahu Ackbar but it can't hurt.

And if you don't get a job there, try TSA.

Yes, McClatchy even kills your credit rating for you.

Blah, blah, blah....

Another person with decreasing self worth continuing to rant about nonesense. My advice to you is cover your mirror in the morning so you don't realize how pathetic of a life you really have.

But then again, let's blame Obama. It's much easier.

I used to work there before it got bad. And I had my carrier knock on my door at 8pm one night demanding I paid him. Since I worked there it came out of my check! I told him that and he said "OK.. I'll take care of it."
This happened TWICE with the same carrier. When I opened the door he goes "Oh yeaaahh..." idiot.
Then when I called to cancel they told me I owed them from my old address that I hadn't been at in a year! IT CAME OUT OF MY CHECK EVERY PAYDAY! -crazy-

I didn't see it like that. I saw it as someone completely comfortable in his own skin wanting to poke you with a stick and make you jump....and boy did you.

You might say that is a little bit sick, but hey, others might say sucking up to terrorists and killing innocent children is a little on the twisted side too.

Me? I'll go with the guy who has the stick. You can have the messiah.

We've tried to get the DMN, and they won't deliver it.

Now try and call the ST. No one answers.
