He's been outsourced twice since 2000 by big national companies. Boy, it happens fast and without warning. At one place he went to a big project meeting and started a huge project in the morning and was let go that afternoon. The second time, it was a large layoff, over a hundred people. He said that was a weird experience, to be in a building where EVERYONE lost their job in one day. Not a happy place. There were people in that layoff who had been working for the company for 20+ years.

He went with a local company too, although it's larger than he would like. And of course, he took a cut in pay both times.
