The other discussion thread is talking a lot about the humiliation of having to train your lower-cost foreign replacements, all mostly from India.
So my first thought is rebellion. I wonder if there's some cultural blind spots that the trainers could exploit? It'd be the social equivalent of leaving a timebomb in the software. Don't explain how to weigh the options of which system to take down? Make the deployment system more obtuse? Make all of the hard decisions for them during those three months, so even though the trainees have been "doing the job", they haven't been exposed to any of the hard decision tradeoffs that were made?
I imagine that it would be hard for management to spot this kind of subversion.
