> I agree, but IMHO when WFH many of these are weakened or even completely lost for the local American employees too. Fair point, but that’s WFH done poorly, imho. “100% remote” wfh teams should almost always have periodic get togethers on the company dime (among other things) to enhance/develop the relationships within the company. Programmers will definitely lose some of their current market power in the future, but I don’t think that off-shoring will be seen as the main culprit. I can’t tell you how much off-shoring is largely seen as a joke except by the VPs who are trying to get a promotion via cost-cutting. The quality of work needed is just not there at scale.
