APS: Is It Outsourcing Sub Work Overseas?

APS--APS substitute services are in total chaos...and have been for several weeks. Teachers can't call in to get a sub, subs can't call in to get a job. Teachers are now calling people on their own when they need a substitute! And what is to blame for this mess? Here is what the sub desk said to one of the substitutes who went down there in person: The bad weather in FLORIDA is causing all the problems. I beg your pardon?

Of course APS, Inc. has not said anything at all...in keeping with their corporate silence policy. But the candor of the desk employee leads us to a few questions.
  • How is Florida connected to APS?
  • Are we outsourcing our computer work to Florida? Is it in fact going overseas?
  • Can't we find anybody here in ABQ (home of Intel, Sandia NL, etc.) that can do this work?

How long before we hear the familiar cry echoing through the halls of APS power? ".........Oh Rigo!!"
