The Return to Office Mandate Myth

There’s been quite a bit of conflict between Corporate employees and employers over return to office mandates.

However, these companies have no problem outsourcing your jobs — outside of the US!

Big corporations and Consulting Firms are outsourcing / offshoring roles to another continent with staff working hybrid schedules.

I was hired as a contractor mid 2024 as part of a cost reduction initiative to offshore hundreds of US positions to India. I was tasked to train 2 of the recent hires working a hybrid schedule (2 weeks from office / 2 weeks from home). During the weekly team meeting, I was surprised by the very warm welcome they received from the US team they were displacing.

Each business quarter, the staff they don’t fire – gets to onboard / train the offshore hires. These cowards don’t even have the balls to fire you themselves. Instead, middle management is left traumatized terminating you and picking up the pieces.

Many of these corporate layoff announcements you hear about in the US become new hires in India (attrition):

It’s an attrition move: Create stupid policies, frustrate American workers so they quit – then rehire in India. Businesses can get 4 Indians for the price of 1 American.

Corporations and consulting firms have built large offices in these countries, often occupying multiple city blocks with employees working out of shared workspace environment – presenting potential security and data privacy concerns.
