I deal with this crap all the time. Sometimes I speak up, sometimes I don't.

Absolutely agreed. I really hate outsourcing, I hate layoffs, and at my company we've been fortunate that we've managed to preserve manufacturing here in the US for as long as we have. We just had a 40 year employee retire, and we've got a fair number with 25 - 38 years here. However, we do need to capture their knowledge, because eventually they are going to depart, one way or another.
