I spent just about 2 years WFH at my job with FedEx, shortly after I left to join TrueNorth they went permanent WFH for my former office, I highly doubt they outsource that. I'm also WFH with TrueNorth, again I see zero reason why they would replace me. I'm already arguably quite cheaper than people in HCOL cities, I'm competent, I'm proving I can work largely autonomously and deliver quality work and I don't have a job role that simply doesn't require me to be in person for anything, what meetings I do have work fine with Zoom as they often involve screen sharing and might use all of the allotted time or a fraction of the allotted time. WFH is going to be the new norm going forward for a lot of roles, roles like mine that don't involve a lot of heavy in-person discussion. Will you get replaced by someone better qualified in another geographic area that may or may not be cheaper? Maybe, but the same can be said for in-person roles you're just competing against a much smaller pool of people for a given role. Will you get replaced by someone in another country, that can work for a fractional amount of what you can? Probably not, there's a myriad of tax implications as well as time zones and general reliability to deal with. It's much harder to vet people in a country that's going to make economic sense to outsource to, there's usually a language (or at least considerable accent) barrier, cultural differences (Based on Reddit and HN, Europe for example generally finds the bulk of what Americans experience at work to be absolutely unacceptable, things like a 40+ hour work week with a half hour unpaid lunch, being expected to be actively working all 40+ hours) the tax implications in both countries, data laws might be different in the second country which could become a royal pain, etc. And if you do lose your job to outsourcing to increase company profits, did you really want to be working there anyway?
