Given the huge reliance on outsourced IT labor in India, I would curious to see how it would affect operations in the West. The pandemic is already affecting school's and testing centers that rely on online proctoring based in India - most of them not available at least until the end of the week (this is before the announcement).
- burntoutfire 7y agoIt has already affected a major bank I work for - we have a lot of outsourced ops people in India and as of today, they're forbidden from coming to the office (while our policies forbid them from working from home, as they are contractors). The management is frantically scrambling to replace them with other random employees with zero hand-over. It's a mess.
