Google is doing the same thing. Same as my own employer. Funny that some people think "if we work in the office more, companies won't outsource jobs as much".

- pixelatedindex 3y agoMaybe not, but from the company’s perspective if you’re not in the office then it doesn’t matter how far away you are (with some time zone restrictions maybe, but remote work heavily relies on async communication anyway). So they’ll look for the cheapest labor they can get away with. I guess you can now have RTO in India though?

- pixelatedindex 3y agoYes, I am very much aware of that. My point is that as a worker if you really push for remote / WFH policies, it can backfire on you because location isn’t a constraint anymore. Why pay someone in the Bay Area when I can pay someone in Idaho? Or in this case India. I’m not saying I like it or prefer it, but it makes sense.
