There were several articles on salon.com recently about the offshoring of
IT; someone, in the flurry of letters that responded to them, pointed out
that the most expensive Corporate resources -- Management -- are the least
likely to get outsourced for cheaper resources, 'for some reason.'

This is eerily similar to the argument that CEOs should be paid a lot of
money because they take a big risk managing a company, since their fortunes
are tied to it, even though it seems that the last person to typically get
laid off by a company is the CEO.
