I've been working remote for almost a decade, and most of the companies I've worked for have pulled me into the office at some point. All expenses paid of course. No, it does not stop an employee from outsourcing work, however a decent contract will. Employers should also not frown upon those that have this type of behavior unless they specifically call this out in a contract or the employee handbook. Note that I've never attempted to outsource my work since I like writing code and I get paid an awesome enough salary as it is, but I don't blame those that do unless they are breaking the rules. I actually got laid off from a job because the lead programmer on my team was doing this. He had 3 folks working in India full time. He told me about it prior to the layoffs over beers. 3 folks on my team were let go. Note that we all found jobs within a month. The last time I spoke with him, he was still doing it. The only time he does any work is when the company has meetings he is asked to attend.
