The thing that worries me is that WFH could bring back offshoring in a big way. WFH may come to be Work from Hyderabad. Lots of brilliant minds in other parts of the world.
- dam_broke_it 4y agoAll the "lowish" positions were offshored DECADES ago. Companies still trying to do this REAP what they sow.... (easily google the results of this MISadventures)
- papandada 4y agoMet brilliant minds no doubt. But between working on Indian Standard Time vs N. American time zones (for me) and the average Indian company exploiting their employees at multiple clients and with an impressive layer of account manager invincibility against individual accountabilities, I'm not feeling too threatened... yet.
- greedo 4y agoYup. My company employees a lot of people from overseas, as well as uses consultants from India. It works generally. There are friction points but WFH has actually made some of it easier since everyone is treated the same. The TZ difference is the biggest obstacle, but that can be worked around. A friend has a completely virtual company and has multiple employees from Czechia and Hungary. Much cheaper than US employees, but again, there's some added friction. Just need to decentralize and delegate to be most effective. Now that sounds easy, and for some small companies and small business units, sure. But for a big corporation?
