No, it is not "what happens." As somebody who has been doing WFH since well before COVID, I'm getting tired of the trope that says avoiding old management frameworks like having asses in seats in an office in the US is driving offshoring. It's just not true—it was always cheaper to hire in other parts of the world.
- pompino 3y agoThere will never be a single factor that drives outsourcing. That being said, I kinda agree that if everybody is remote, adding one more remote employee is a lot easier since your company is already setup as a remote-first org.
- nox101 3y agoIs it possible managers were afraid of offshoring but forced WFH via COVID opened them up to it more?

It's easier to plug in remote employees than it was pre-pandemic, this cannot be denied.
