If bosses discover most of the work can be done via the internet, they’ll farm all their jobs overseas.

Great strategy.

Any job the bosses could have sent overseas, they already have years ago. The jobs that are still here are the ones that require people who actually know what they're doing.

That’s not the deciding factor in whether or not your job gets outsourced, it’s the nature of the work itself that matters. If the work you do is essentially a commodity, like writing computer code, then you should be worried no matter where your physical work location is. If, on the other hand, you do professional work that relies upon your unique expertise, knowledge, and judgment, then you’re far less likely to face outsourcing, again no matter where you work physically.

Yeah, great strategy. In my observation, the quality of "work" you get overseas (doesn't matter which sea), is abysmal. Institutional knowledge drops to nothing, and when your company goes into the crapper, the blame is appropriately on management.

I've been working from home exclusively for over 7 years. Not going back.They moved our 'offices' where you can go in if you want to a few years back. I don't even know where the office is. Nor do I care.
