You'll care when they farm your job out.
One thing that we haven't touched on is the fact that everyone of us in this industry is replaceable by folks who are younger, smarter, better educated and will work at half the hourly rate and complain less.
This crap has already happend around here at certain layers - The LEC has labor from south of the border doing I/R on T-1 circuits regardless of the fact that they can't speak or understand english very well and they have no craftsmanship skills since they just tossed them into the job while retiring the skilled (high cost) labor who has been building and maintaining their infastructure for the last 30+ years.
Over the last several years our data center and mainframe departments have gone from a mix of good ole boys and asians to purly folks from overseas who speak farsi and have some odd hygenine / eating habits.
