This has nothing to do with outsourcing. These guys are getting hired as permanent employees as often as they’re being engaged as contractors.

    My mistake. I meant “off-shoring”.

    This is only possible in the scale we see today, because of the infrastructure built to support off-shore and remote work.

What does this have to do with outsourcing?

  • nobodyandproud 15 hours ago

    It’s about incentives.

    Direct impact: Outsourcing breeds a culture of unverified and verified-just-once remote work.

    Indirect impact: Outsourcing is a cost-driven effort where after a certain level of competence, the bottom-line is the only measurable metric that matters so it’s a race to the bottom with patchwork efforts to “fix” issues like OP.

    Making domestic options cost-equivalent with punitive outcomes for hiring NK workers.

      This is about in-house employees. Not outsourcing.

        My mistake in term. I meant “off-shoring”.

        Otherwise, I stand by my argument. The support infrastructure we built to support remote work and offshore teams have made this an easy attack channel.
