alt text: 18 of our 40 employees are located in the Philippines. Insanely competent, great judgement, and $5 per hour. If you run a small business and don't have overseas help you're at a disadvantage

Thank you. ITT: Bunch of spoiled, outraged clueless people.

Just ask my Pilipino wife if $5/hr. is good money back home. She stared at me for a beat, "Oh yeah! That is very good!"

You can live damned well on $40/day. Her ex went over there and took her whole family out to dinner at a nice restaurant in Manila. 12 people, $50 including a generous tip. I make $81K/yr. and I couldn't take half that many people out to eat on a day's pay.
