I know someone who has consulted for Disney IT a few years ago. Specifically in engineering management. They did not have a very high opinion of the culture and the overall productivity of the organization was abysmal; he considered it a "Dilbert-land" place to work. So in that vein they seem to be doing something completely predictable.
If someone comes to me to outsource me, I would totally help them do it because they will end up with exactly what they deserve. Outsourcing software engineering is the last refuge of incompetent management.
- jobu 11y agoExactly what I was thinking after reading this in the article: "In late November, this former employee received his annual performance review, which he provided to The New York Times. His supervisor, who was not aware the man was scheduled for layoff, wrote that because of his superior skills and “outstanding” work, he had saved the company thousands of dollars. The supervisor added that he was looking forward to another highly productive year of having the employee on the team." Seems like they should be looking to lay off some managers as well.
