I question the validity of this posting.
IBM just got major burned by its India operation.

So, what, no company ever hurt itself with short-term thinking? I question the validity of your post.

My company is in the middle of this right now. They are giving it a fancy name and offering some token compensation, but bottom line, if you were over 60 you had to retire early and train your replacement. There is a small bonus for the training, but the company will judge if you met the requirements. No compete clause. No rehire, including no consulting. And, of course, all the replacements are in India. If you didn’t take this program it was made very clear that you would be laid off in a “reduction of force” sometime early in 2020.

This has been going on since the 1990s, at least.

Indian companies set up a US office, bring in people for “training” on L-1 visas but in reality farm them out too.

An ongoing obscenity.
