Why would anyone teach their "industry secrets" to outsourced employees? Uh, are you folks on crack.

I have a Filipino worker. At first it was a chore because he had no idea what TGP galleries and free sites were. After a couple weeks, he really started catching on and right now he's a pretty good investment. Would I be pissed if he left? Of course, I would be upset because I would have to teach him the basics again. But overall, he shows up to work everyday, completes tasks fairly quickly, and does a pretty good job. I'm afraid I can't say the same for many non-Filipino designers I've worked with. Also, if I hired a local in-house graphics guy, odds are I would need to spend quite a bit of time training him as well.

You take the good with the bad.
